Best known for cult classic The Fifth Element, the trailer for director-writer Luc Besson’s latest, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, has just been unveiled.
The film is based on the French comic series “Valerian and Laureline” and stars Dane DeHaan (Chronicle, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) as Valerian and model-actress Cara Delevingne as Laureline. Herbie Hancock, John Goodman, Rihanna (as), Clive Owen and Ethan Hawke also star.
Set in the 28th century, Valerian exists in a time when humanity has discovered the craft of time travel.
The trailer is to the tune of the Beatles' ‘Because’, which Besson said is the first time the band gave up rights to the song.
The trailer was released on IMDb’s Facebook live feed.

Valerian is scheduled to hit cinemas in July 2017.
