Luc Besson Also Writing & Directing the 'Valerian'
Sci-Fi Adaptation
Zitat:
Hot damn, French filmmaker Luc Besson has found some kind of second
filmmaking wind. He's keeping up with everything, developing more
and more, not only producing Taken 2, he was already in the news
earlier today casting a "darkly comedic gangster thriller" titled
Malavita that he's directing next. In addition to that, Variety is
now reporting that Besson is already setting up another project to
writer & direct, this one an adaptation of a Gallic comic book
series called Valerian, published in Pilote. EuropaCorp is
developing the adaptation about the adventures of space and time
traveling agent Valerian and his sidekick Laureline.
Besson, who said he was retiring from directing years ago, is back
at it again. He just finished The Lady last year, now he's gearing
up to shoot Malavita with Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones, as
well as some other untitled film with Angelina Jolie, in early
2013. Then it sounds like he'll move to Valerian, all with
EuropaCorp, being written & directed (in English) by Besson.
Those are the only details so far on Valerian.
Valérian and Laureline is a French science fiction comics series,
created by writer Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières.
First published in the magazine Pilote in 1967, the final
installment was published in 2010. The series focuses on the
adventures of the dark-haired Valérian, a spatio-temporal agent,
and his redheaded female companion, Laureline, as they travel the
universe through space and time in the 28th century. Valérian is a
classical anti-hero, kind-hearted, strong and brave but with a
tendency to follow the orders of his superiors even if he feels,
deep down, that it is the wrong thing to do. I'm sure Besson has
some angle to this to make it a cinematic story; I hope he's
getting back to his sci-fi roots (e.g. The Fifth Element).
