Comic-Con officially opened for press last night and the panels will officially kick off in earnest later today, but ahead of all of the fun and games, a new image from Luc Besson‘s next film Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets has been released, specifically for San Diego.
The special Comic-Con image features lead actor Dane DeHaan in the flick, which opens in 2017.
Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga.
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.
Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock, and Kris Wu also star.
Check out the image above. More as we get it.
