Director Luc Besson teased a new VALERIAN trailer on his birthday

A new trailer for VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS is coming soon, so director Luc Besson gave us a teaser to celebrate his birthday!

Happy belated birthday to Luc Besson, who turned 58 on the 18th of March! And although people usually receive gifts on their birthday, the director of The Fifth Element and The Professional decided to give us a gift by sharing a teaser for the new Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets trailer.

The new global trailer will be shown on March 29th.

Official synopsis:

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.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will land in theaters July 21, 2017.
