It’s all about “Blue Ice” for Luc Besson’s VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS, and this poster proves it.
STX Entertainment released this new poster that shows half the faces of Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) as they stare straight at us with their blue eyes – get it? Blue tones are featured significantly in the movie, which director Luc Besson had done deliberately. Case in point, the color tone he chose for his classic sci-fi/adventure movie The Fifth Element was… orange.
Check out the poster below and keep a lookout for the new trailer when it comes out March 29th.
Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga. Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him. Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
