DeHaan, from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Kill Your Darlings, will be starring in new film, Valerian.
[dropcap size=small]V[/dropcap]alerian, a sci-fi film in the works is said to be directed by Luc Besson. Alongside Besson, Besson’s current wife will be producing the movie on behalf of EuropaCorp, and Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne will be appearing as the movie’s leads, Valerian and his sidekick Laureline.
The reason Valerian may sound familiar, is that it already exists in the form of a graphic novel. That graphic novel, which is about man kind in the 28th century/time traveling, was created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Meziers in 1967; it has sold over 10 million copies in 21 languages.
Valerian and Laureline are members of the Spatio-Temporal Service, which protects the Terran Empire. Besson has stated that he will be directing Valerian from his own script.
Valerian is scheduled to film this December, and hit theaters in 2017.
