“Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry.”
Directed by Luc Besson (from “Fifth Element” and “Lucy”), “Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets” has dropped its first full trailer, which features The Beatles’ 1969 classic, “Because”.
The film is based on Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières’ French graphic novel series, “Valerian and Laureline”. Starring Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne as the title characters, Valerian and Laureline are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Although Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner, Laureline continuously rebuffs him due to his extensive history with women.
Under directive from their Commander (played by Clive Owen), the 2 embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all 4 corners of the universe. Alpha’s 17 million inhabitants have converged over time – uniting their talents, technology, and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares the same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
The trailer is a stunning affair, with breathtaking graphics, settings, and costumes. It is the dream trailer of every science fiction fan and it is by far one of the best trailers released this month. The promo clip also gives viewers a glimpse of a very blonde bad girl RiRi.

Slated for release on 21 July 2017, “Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets” also stars Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock, and Kris Wu.
