Rihanna is returning to the silver screen.
Director Luc Besson has announced (via Instagram) that the Grammy Award winner has joined his upcoming film “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets”.
Besson says Rihanna has “a big part” in the film which stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, and Clive Owen.
In the story, Valerian (DeHaan) and Laureline (Delevingne) are exploring Syrte, capital planet of a system of 1,000 worlds. Their mission is to discover whether the Syrtians could present a danger to Earth. What they find is a decaying empire led by decadent aristocrats, a population ripe for revolution, and a mysterious caste of masked wise men who discreetly pull the strings from hidden fortresses. Swept up by the winds of history, the agents of Earth will have to choose a side.
Based on the 1967 French comic series “Valerian and Laureline” by Pierre Christin and artist Jean-Claude Mézières, Besson directs from his own adapted script.
