Never run Valerian, but I like me some ayys.

>fat Valerian
>ugly Laureline

>>91134865
I'm watching it.

But I'm annoyed she's not a redhead since that was the reason I picked up the comic.

>>91134865
Optics are looking good, but the main actors are coming across as absolutely unsympathetic.

>>91135099
>"graphic novel"

They should have said "French comic series"

There was a thread on this movie a few months ago. Never heard of the series before then, and I read a little bit of the comic because of it. The previews seems OK, but at this point, all these big-budget films blend together to me.

>>91134865
honestly I am completely ignorant of the source material.
however, I am incredibly exited to see this movie. This brand of high science fiction fantasy I am all about it.

>>91134865
Still watching it although I'm not really optimistic.

>>91134865
I hope it'll be good, but with those two shitters in the lead roles I don't have much faith.

Then again Luc Besson can work magic sometimes and it's not like he's not familiar with the genre, so who knows.

>>91135225
I'm mostly interested since it inspired The 5th Element and from the same director.

>>91134865
Both the main Actors look like cardboard cut outs, so no.

>adaptation of something no one's heard of
>massive budget
>no advertising

Regardless of quality this has bomb written all over it. Hopefully it does well internationally because I just don't see Americans seeing this.

This will sink like a stone in America, but probably not in France and maybe parts of continental Europe.

The WTFs start early and don't slow down when reading this cast list

>>91135306
I now remember Brandon Routh in Dylan Dog.

Only Italians would "get it" and that name alone means no one in the English-speaking world would take it seriously.

>>91135245
Luc Besson's also total shit sometimes too though. I want this movie to be good cause I love space movies and I LOVE the Fifth Element, but I ain't gettin my hopes up.

>>91134865

I want to see it to use it as a Cara Delevingne girlfriend simulator tbqh

>>91135388
With Besson in general if he is director the movie is good if he is producer the movie is shit.

>>91135343
>Herbie Hancock
Wait what
Does that mean we get some sweet tunes?

>>91135037
Neither looks fat or ugly. I think the cool kids in Europe call it "heroine chic"

>>91134865
Fuck yeah, Valerian! I recognize some stuff on the trailer. The underwater alien with the head-cable harvesting crystals is highly radioactive. The big black niggrish aliens that Laureline infiltrated with the help of the shape-shifter also showed up as a cameo in an early Samurai Jack episode, they're a warrior society.

Two years ago I killed a horse in a satanic ritual for a new Fifth Element movie. I imagine this is what that horse died for

>>91135310
It might do the Tintin thing and connect so well in Europe we get a trilogy.

>>91135537

Are you me?

>>91135607
But Red Rackham's Treasure is in development hell thanks to the Hobbit movies taking Jackson's time.

>>91135225
>>91135278
same here

>>91134865
I'm sorry but Luc Besson is doing a reddit chat right now.

I want to ask him about that Joan of Arc movie.

>>91135537
Fuck you for killing a horse.

>>91134865
First trailer got me curious enough to read some of the comics. They were cool, but never really grabbed me. I dunno if they get better later on or what.

This second trailer looks way better. Diverse system of planets contained within one city means there'll probably be some really interesting set pieces, the interaction between the leads doesn't look nearly as cringey as I thought it would, they actually have chemistry.

>>91135945
>First trailer got me curious enough to read some of the comic
How does one go about this? Do you have a website or download link? Or did you buy physical copies?

>>91134865
Meh, I might watch it. The dude basically said that he's going to make The Fifth Element 2 : Space Alien Bogaloo.

There isn't going to be anything left of what made the series great, but a second part of the Fifth Element with more aliens shouldn't be a total waste of an evening.

>>91136040

They've definitely been posted on /co/. There might be a folder somewhere, just use the archive.

>>91136059
Thank you. I shall do that.

>>91135663
Yet another reason I hate those movies

>>91136076
try libgen

>>91134865

Love the graphic novels (well, most of them), at first I was excited that this was based upon 'Ambassador of the Shadows' which is one of my favourites, then the trailer came and it was clear it only borrowed some elements, while in turn adding video game looking action sequences and some shitty cgi creatures that look like some leftovers from Phantom Menace.

5th Element was zany but charming, this, by the looks of the trailers are nothing of the sort, all of a sudden Valerian is some action hero kicking aliens like some martial arts master... WTF ?

Also not happy with the casting, especially the guy who looks retarded.

It seems Luc Besson lost whatever mojo he had once he had finished Joan of Arc, everything he has done after that has been uninspired.

I will go see it for one reason and one reason only.

Although, I expect it to be like the 5th Element, which I went to see only for Milla and ended up being one of my favourite films of all time.

>>91134865
yes but I don't expect the movie to be good at all, or at least, to completely fail to capture what makes the comic.

>>91135225
>This brand of high science fiction fantasy I am all about it.

isn't it called Space Opera?

>>91135306
Cara delevigne is there, it's guaranteed to make ends meet.

The blonde chick reminds me of Terra.

>>91135798

They're heartless horrible monsters, the only good horse is a dead horse.

>>91135306
Maybe they should have "the story that inspired Star Wars" as a tagline

>>91134865
Why isn't she a redhead in the movie?
Why do directors always ignore shit like this?

>>91136783
Literally because Leeloo was a redhead

But then Leeloo was a redhead because of her, so what the hell Besson.

WTF indeed. I saw Laureline doing some fighting , not sure what you're on about. Also always gotta laugh at people who bitch about CGI in a sci fi movie with space ships and shit. Not to mention most hitching about CGI were the same ones who didn't know that BB8 from SW:TFW was practical

You were the one showing his dick name calling Christin & Mezieres. Hurr-durr their name is literally everywhere in the advertisment.

>>91138951
Prove it faggot.

Mezieres usually has two-three flat colours in his panels; using many vivid different colours to give wight to object is Moebius style.

Post a page from the original Valerian that looks like the trailer.

>mfw they couldn't even get actors who look like characters

I actually recognised few alien beings from trailers.

Wondering from what albums they draw influence. Empire of Thousand planets would be weird because it isn't that complex story. The priest caste of immortal stranded human astronauts would be baller villains, however.

>>91134865
Why does everything have to be Iron Man or Mass Effect suits nowadays? Couldn't they have made it look more like the artwork?

>>91136860
>BB8 from SW:TFW was practical
Many scenes had a terrible looking BB8 on set for the sake of interaction, but he was replaced with CG in the finished product.

>>91140681
Supposedly they're mostly adapting (read: drawing inspiration from) Ambassador of Shadows.

>>91138235
Could you be any more of a pretentious cunt?
Moebius is a classic, knowing him doesn't make you cool.

>>91138235
Speaking of which, where is that adaptation of The Incal that Nicolas Winding Refn has been attached to forever?

>>91140790

Yeah the lack of pulpy space suits is the only real negative I have so far. Everything else has that colorful 1960s pulp sci fi aesthetic but the characters are stuck in black mass effect armor. I don't get it.

Some John Carterish cgi as well but thats a nitpick.

>>91138510
Wow! Reading that actually made me die a bit more inside. Thanks, anon!

Is the animated series worth checking out?

Well, that isn't half as bad as some others choices could have been. They could have gone with the one with magic alien aborginales, the one with inverse earth of perpentual gender-warfare, the one with giant space-tyrant blob who rules entire planet with insanity inducing birds or heaven forbid the one where they have to compete with space stand-ins of Soviet-style socialism, military expansionist warrior ethos fascism and hippies on who gets to become the father of an entire planets next generation.

And one movie isn't obviously enough for the timetravel / lost earth arcs of latter series.

>>91136276

What are the best Valerian comics?

>>91135293
just because they don't look like slack-jawed porn actors doesn't mean it's gonna be bad.

>>91134865
Why do they look like genetic twins of differing sexes?

>>91135607

>>91134865
I read the first couple volumes. They were okay but I'd see the movie just for Besson doing Sci-fi.

>>91142446
Yes

Anime Laureline is thicc

>>91134865
I grew up with the comic, and it remains one of my favorites.
I also adore Luc Beson and can't wait to see his take on this BD.
Haan is a bit too soft, but Delevingne is surprisingly spot on, now all she needs is reddish hair. But this is me being pedantic, they both look fine.

>>91135306
America is not the world - you yanks seem to forget that often.

>>91143066
The first 2 or 3 albums are not the best, but they're useful to understand the context.
Heroes of the Equinox, Hostages of Ultralum are fun and can be read independently.
The last three are weirder than the rest

>>91143066
The first twelve issues.

I've never read the comic but the movie looks fun, way better than GotG 2 at least.

>>91134865
I can't be the only one that thinks those two actors could pull off siblings pretty well.

>>91142788
> He wants to adapt Heroes of the Equinox
You madman!

Didn't realize there was a movie planned. Somewhat interested if it's got any ounce of vision to it. But why remove one of the main character's names from the title?

>>91144857
International cinema market accounts for jack shit in release revenue though.

>>91145985
>But why remove one of the main character's names from the title?
Probably because Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is already a long as title as is.

>>91145985

The comic was originally called Valerian but her title was added later as it got more popular.

>>91135306
as a jaded USA anon, I give the trailer a resounding 'meh'. Tons of CGI. I'm literally swimming in it. And I've seen shit tier flicks that relied heavily on it but had crap acting and terrible scripts, like John Carter of Mars and Jupiter Ascending.
I'm not racing to see it, but as usual I keep track of reviews. If it's something super I'll take it in on the 2nd week probably.

>>91134865
When are we going to get volume 0

>>91136779

That would be The Hidden Fortress.

>>91145310
Nope, I know dick-all about the source so I thought they were siblings till the flirtation.
