Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Directed by Luc Besson
Release Date: July 21
Starring Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman
Before he was producing bullet-riddled European action movies (Taken, Transporter), director Luc Besson was blowing minds with stunning sci-fi movies like The Fifth Element. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, based on a series of French comics the Parisian filmmaker fawned over in his youth, looks like a return to those roots. Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne star in this stone-cold stunner that looks like the perfect appetizer before next year’s stylishly similar Thor sequel. Rihanna fans: look out for the singer’s turn as a steamy, shapeshifting entertainer. (eONE)
