Based on the comic book series Valérian and Laureline, Besson’s new film has Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne as time-travelling agents protecting humanity, and very handsome they look too. These new images go behind the scenes, showing off some of the outstanding costume design we’ve come to expect from the director who brought us this…
Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Rihanna, Clive Owen and the legendary Rutger Hauer complete the cast. We recently posted a very neat looking a behind the scenes featurette from the movie here and watch out for our review of the film, coming to the site very shortly.
Here are the exclusive behind the scenes images from Luc Besson’s Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets. Pre-booking for tickets begins on the 7th – get ready to jump on Besson’s rocket.
