“Valerian” is based on the 1967 novel by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres. DeHaan stars as the titular character, who can travel through space and time. Delevingne will play his red-haired companion.

Besson is writing and directing “Valerian,” which starts shooting next month at a reported budget of $180 million. Virginie Besson-Silla will produce on behalf of EuropaCorp, which is financing, producing and distributing the movie.
