Rihanna joins the cast of Luc Besson’s Valerian
Although he recently got some bad news regarding one of his previous space-action films, Luc Besson is moving forward with his adaptation of the French graphic novel series, Valérian. The director has already found his heroic spatio-temporal agents, Valérian and Laureline, in Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns). The Knick’s Clive Owen has signed on to play Commander Arün Filitt, who will presumably order the central duo to uphold the time-travel Prime Directive or whatever. And now Besson has announced that Rihanna will do some ass-kicking (probably) in Valérian And The City Of The City Of A Thousand Planets.
