Luc Besson brings his latest sci-fi tale to China's silver screens

French director Luc Besson was in Beijing in the weekend, wearing a T-shirt with images of the characters from his latest movie, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

The film is adapted from the French sci-fi comics series Valerian and Laureline, which was first published in 1967.

It centers on a titular duo of space- and time-traveling agents, who discover a thrilling secret during a galactic mission.
