Valerian- The City Of A Thousand Planets (2017)
Neumatic:
The Original Post
So, Valerian, Luc Besson's long-awaited spiritual sequel to The Fifth Element... looks a BIT familiar...
(I do like that the original version of the characters are on his jacket in the pic, it's a nice touch)
But they look exactly like Mass Effect. And as much as I'd love to see a Mass Effect movie (and how easygoing I am about sampling in creative works as long as it DOES SOMETHING INTERESTING), I hope that the movie feels more like Fifth Element.
Which is weird because the original Star Wars borrowed heavily from the Valerian books, as did The Fifth Element (with some nice additions by the no-longer-with-us Moebius). I would hate for the uniquely funky French vision of the future to be repalced with something common and mainstream.
--------
Because there's so many pictures coming out for the movie... and it's so different than any other movie coming out, I think this deserves it's own thread.
Entertainment Weekly has a whole article about this, the enthusiasm Besson has for the project is so palpable, hopefully that will translate to general enthusiasm for the flick.
Anyway, onto more photos!
Commander Shepherd... I mean VALERIAN bein' bad@ss.
This might be the most Luc Besson image ever.
That summer style totally reminds me of The Fifth Element... particularly the net shirts and bright colours.
K-Tron cops.

What I've seen so far (Image-wise), I'm digging. That K-Tron cop looks bad ass.

The Tracking Board (as well as a lot of other websites) have a write-up of the Valerian footage shown at San Diego Comic Con, but of course not the actual footage, which I REALLY want to see. The visual effects still aren't done, so it's mostly practical stuff. But oh man, I'm so excited!
