For many fans, Valerian is going to be the return to the sci-fi genre that they’ve been waiting for from Luc Besson following The Fifth Element, his unique and beloved late 1990s genre epic.
But if not, it’ll still almost certainly have its fair share of gorgeous visuals to tease from the film.
Looking at the calendar of release dates between now and December 31 – it’s clear that 2017 is truly only just getting started.
And one of the more interesting blockbuster adaptations set to be released this summer is writer and director Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
