For many people, Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element is an absolute joy to behold, and the prospect of the visionary director tackling a big and bold space adventure again with his passion project, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, seems just too good to be true. The first trailer has finally come our way, and it’s a strong debut for the project, light on actual story but showcasing some truly gorgeous and outlandish visual effects.
The tone of the movie isn't fully apparent here, but stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delivigne seem to have a nice quirky dynamic as the womanising action man and his by the book partner respectively. If Besson can inject this movie with the same energy he had for The Fifth Element, his return to space will be well worth the wait.
Released: 21st July 2017
Synopsis: Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.

Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha's seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
