‘Valerian’: New Featurette Chronicles the Transition from Page to Screen!! Check It Out!!

Cynically, it’s easy to look at Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and think, “This gets to exist because Guardians of the Galaxy is a hit.” And yes, there’s a financial calculus that goes into a studio greenlighting a big, VFX-driven sci-fi action movie. But I prefer to see Valerian as a passion project for writer-director Luc Besson, and it’s nice that he’s … Continue reading ‘Valerian’: New Featurette Chronicles the Transition from Page to Screen!!

Clive Owen Returns as The Driver in Neill Blomkamp’s BMW Short Film ‘The Escape’!! Check It Out!!

When it comes to movie marketing, there are generally two schools of thought: A film can either cram references to every suitor into the narrative in an obtrusive way like Man of Steel‘s record-setting product placement, or it can feature the tag “Presented by Company X” and let the director’s artistic vision shine through regardless of the merchandise being hawked. A fine example of the latter is … Continue reading Clive Owen Returns as The Driver in Neill Blomkamp’s BMW Short Film ‘The Escape’!! Check It Out!!

Few modern action directors have proven so prolific and keen as Luc Besson, especially when you count the man’s producing ventures. Though I can’t count myself as a big fan of La Femme Nikita, The Family, or The Big Blue, I would say that The Fifth Element, Lucy, and, especially, Leon the Professional would be amongst a list of my favorite action films. So, anticipation … Continue reading ‘Valerian’: First Image Reveals Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne in Luc Besson’s Sci-Fi Epic!!
