EuropaCorp has released new images and a Brand new Poster for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets in anticipation of New York Comic Con! Fans in attendance of NYCC can check out a fun and immersive booth for the film and comics on the convention floor from 10am to 7pm. They will have the chance to receive an autograph from director Luc Besson and illustrator/co-creator of the graphic novel Jean-Claude Mézières on Thursday, October 6, from 11am-12pm and then 2pm-3pm! All located at the North Concourse, Booth NC8.

Rooted in the classic graphic novel series, Valerian and Laureline- visionary writer/director Luc Besson advances this iconic source material into a contemporary, unique and epic science fiction saga.

Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.

Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha's seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, the highly-anticipated space adventure based on the acclaimed French comic book series from EuropaCorp, will give New York Comic-Con fans a sneak peek this weekend at an exciting, interactive booth just inside the doors of the Javits Center's North Concourse.

Attendees on Thursday, October 6 will have the rare opportunity to meet and procure an autograph from renowned filmmaker Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Lucy, The Professional), the director/writer of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and award-winning illustrator Jean-Claude Mézières, the co-creator of the graphic novel upon which the film is based.  Besson and Mézières will sign limited edition, numbered Valerian mini-posters Thursday at 11:00am and 2:00pm. Exclusive tickets for the two signings will be distributed Thursday at 10:30am at the Valerian booth.

The booth will feature a fascinating array of early video footage displays, still images and one-of-a-kind props from Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets; an interactive photo booth; and a comic book store displaying multiple issues of the beloved French comic. The Valerian booth will be open during Con hours throughout the four-day weekend.
