I asked about the fact sheet and the detailed work that went into the making of the film, and learned about the tremendous depths of Besson’s fanhood in regards to the long-running French comic series by writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières.
Both men went into detail about why it was so important for their individual processes, and how it legitimately aided the movie.
Earlier this month, both Luc Besson and Valerian star Dane DeHaan were in Los Angeles for a book signing at Meltdown Comics, and I had the opportunity to talk with both of them about their upcoming sci-fi blockbuster.
