With his latest sci-fi action epic, Luc Besson adapts the comic series Valérian and Laureline. An intergalactic adventure, Valerian stars Dane Dehaan and Cara Delevingne as the titular planet-hopping duo, a pair of ace space travelers with a worn-in partnership and chutzpah to spare. Today at the Hall H Comic-Con panel, Besson joined DeHaan and Delevingne along with producer Virginie Besson-silla to give fans a first look at the stunning sci-fi. And what a look it was, with dazzling imagery and seemingly unyielding creativity.

Mon Dieu, Luc Besson, such a, 'ow you say? -- a hack. |

At least it will be new, not a re-boot or re-make. Not familiar with the source material, but some of the French comic books that I have read are very good, so I shall keep an eye out for this one. |

Anything new in sci-fi is welcome. We are kind of in a rut film wise. |

Luc Besson a hack? I guess we all have our opinions. I like his work. Some of it is better than others, but on the whole I enjoy his stuff. I'm looking forward to this. |
