So, in case you missed it, you’ll know that the divine Cara Delevingne and the dreamy Dane DeHaan (listen, if you haven’t seen him in Life, I suggest you do) are going to be appearing together this year in Valerian and The City Of A Thousand Planets. And holy moly awesome ravioli, the trailer they just dropped makes it look like the lovechild of all my science fiction fangirl dreams and a life-changing psychedelic trip.
First, though, a little background: the story is based on a French comic book series titled Valerian and Laureline by author Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières.
The movie follows two special operatives, Valerian (DeHaan) and Laureline (Delevingne), who are charged with peacekeeping in the galaxy. More specifically, Alpha, a gigantic space metropolis where thousands of species from space and time have come together to share and expand on knowledge and culture. This city of a thousand planets, however, is threatened by a mysterious dark force, and which, if left unchecked, may spell the end of the universe as we know it.
So, you know, your good ol’ science fiction, action, drama and a political conspiracy. Check out the trailer below.
