Besson did. All the action movies he's produced, like Taken, have lead to this movie. He did those films so he would be able to produce his dream project.

When will these moronic simpletons learn! And of course it isn't that they chose the wrong, property, or directed poorly or promoted it poorly or any of the above, it's because it's science fiction. So from here on it's science fiction's fault the movie failed.

1. Fuck unions and writes rights bullshit, if I'm sinking 220 million i'm having at the very least, fifty writers.


2. Fuck Studios, If i'm sinking that much money, I'm doing its CGI retarded cousin or animation or something and try to illicit some kind of retort from selected groups.

3. I'll have one director direct something for all of a few weeks, maybe a quick choppy edition of what I want and have a sit down with the brass to go through what works and what doesn't. And between the choppy shot film, and the animation CGI version, we'll harmer out what works and what doesn't. Do you people have any idea how many smaller budget films they could have shot for that amount of money? 220 million?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_(film)

10-20 million.

Profit, 49 million.

They did 79 million world wide and did well in home releases.

http://www.darkhorizons.com/valerian-isnt-as-big-a-risk-as-it-appears/

“Like every film company, we will only greenlight a project if at least 80% of its budget is covered. With ‘Valerian,’ we’ve covered 96% of the budget with pre-sales. The risk to EuropaCorp is 4% of the budget so there’s no actual financial risk. The risk for the company is more one of notoriety. If the film is a big flop, we’ll lose credibility for making these sorts of films. The risk is not financial, but rather human.”

>>84286560
Pre-sales are when the distributors (Be to movie-plexes or TV) pay upfront for the rights to sell the movie.

So for example, STX Entertainment decides they want to sell the movie to movie-plexes in the US, and they think they can earn 80 million dollars from it. They will offer 60 million to the company making the film and take the risk. The movie company gets 60 million to cover the costs, and out of the first 80 million STX Entertainment takes most of the money. After that they share if it a big hit.

Then they sell the TV rights for another 20 million to someone else for 10 years. Sony in Japan and Liongate in UK throw in 20 million, and next thing you know you have 210 million dollars coming in to make this film.

So the risk for the company is not that they will lose money, but if it bombs no one will pre-buy their films at such rates.

This film needs to flop for films to get back to being anything but shit

Celebrity castings over real actors, bad casting with Dehaan (good actor but bad casting for this), CGI CGI CGI. A case of two much shit on screen as well

Even with sci-fi novels, when too much tries to be done, it just gets annoying or boring. One of my favourite sci-fi novels is A Fall of Moondust. The whole story is just survivors trapped under a lunar 'sea' of dust, and various characters trying to search for and/or rescue them. Even space opera doesn't need to visit 30 planets in one fucking movie, it's just too much

Capeshitters don't watch anything but capeshit, but that doesn't mean there are no other markets. People just won't bother turning up for lame looking shit. When trailers for sci-fi is just another bouncing 50 feet faggot fest with gay costumes, it's just inferior capeshit with heroes nobody knows

There is an alternative to this though, science fiction that just tells a fucking story and doesn't need CGI because it isn't 80% autistic action scenes nobody is excited by anyway. CGI is not exciting, people remember the quips not the fights in capeshit shitfests

The casting he chose is so lame and so far from the spirit of the comics. Valerian is supposed to be a rugged, swashbuckler, kinda ugly but charming type of guy. Those are the words from the creator of the comics. Besson's Valerian looks like a fag working on his female hormones transition phase. As for Delevigne why is she the title feminine character I have no idea. She can't act, she's not beautiful or feminine like Laureline is supposed to. Fuck Besson.

Player of Games is great. Shows the darker side of the culture. Main character was heavily manipulated (even a big chance that his entire life was them building him up for this mission, was looked down on for not having fucked a dude or changed sex, and loads of people died... and for what? Because the culture didn't like a species culture, and decided to take down the one factor that kept the culture from changing them.

It's basically shows what jews the culture AI's are. Meatbags are just goyims to serve their interests, all foreign governments bust be brought down to the same cattle status as the culture's own meatbags, and meatbags inside the culture that aren't 100% are seen as wierd/defective and manipulated in turning into a degenerate (in the end he fucks the slut he had a crush on, but never wanted to fuck him, while she was still turning back from being a man. They broke him, and turned him in just another degenerate. Altought it's possible he did it because he now realised he no longer had value, and the the culture's AI are not benevolent. So better to give them wat they want, or else he might have an accident. Especially sinds he knows things they want to keep secret, and everything around him is connected to big brother.).

Valerian's creator Mezieres was so flabbergasted when he saw Star Wars that he wrote a few letters to Lucas who never answered. Mezieres then made this drawing in the comic where Valerian was published.
Leia : How funny to see you here
Valerian : Oh we've been here a long time.
Even the scene where Leia is in a bikini on a flying boat with the fat slug is ripped from Valerian.

He sure took the "great artists steal" thing a bit too far.

That's not even remotely fair and you fucking know that, what a ridiculous standard you must have. He lost the Dem primary, he was a Dem candidate, he chose to run for them.
