Has Luc Besson found his next Fifth Element? The producer-director just revealed that he is set to write and direct Valerian, an adaptation of the iconic French sci-fi graphic novel series from writers Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières that first appeared in 1967. Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider Man 2) and Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns) will star, Besson tweeted today — his first postings on Twitter:

Valerian

DeHaan and Delevingne will play Valerian and Laureline in the adaptation of the original story, which centered on a pair of spatio-temporal agents who help defend a utopian 28th century Earth and its neighboring planets from bad guys, with the pair’s adventures rooted in space opera and time travel themes not so much unlike Fifth Element, Besson’s seminal 1997
