Luc Besson Taking On Sci-Fi Epic 'Valerian' Subscribe Now! ► http://bit.ly/SubClevverMovies

Twenty years after director Luc Besson gave us The Fifth Element he’s heading back to space for a new sci-fi epic. Today’s episode of Clevver News Feed is brought to you by Pitch Perfect 2, in theaters May 15th! Luc Besson is no stranger to big films and today brings word that he could be set to bring us his biggest to date. Following the success of last year’s Lucy, starring Scarlett Johansson, Besson took to Twitter to announce his next directorial effort will be an adaptation of the French comic book series, Valerian and Laureline. Titled, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the film will likely follow the storyline of the comics 2nd volume, “Empire of a Thousand Planets” which finds title characters “Valerian”, a spatio-temporal agent and his red-headed counterpart, “Laureline” investigating an alien empire consisting of, you guessed it, a thousand planets and determining if they are a threat to the capital of 28th century Earth. The original comic book, first published in 1967, influenced several later sci-fi films including Star Wars and Besson’s own The Fifth Element and has sold over 10 million copies. Besson is currently writing the script with plans to begin filming in December for a summer 2017 release. The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s Dane DeHann will play “Valerian” while Cara Delevingne, who will next be seen in Paper Towns and is currently shooting Suicide Squad, will play “Laureline”. So are there any fans of Valerian and Laureline excited for the new film and who else would you like see join the cast?
