Hit take... Valerian will be remembered more Dunkirk a decade from now.

 

You saw both?

 

Is Valerian more iconic or will it become more relevant in the future?

Eh, I get more of a Nathan Drake vibe from Tom Holland. 

Neither are good choices. Kingsman dude would've been good.

Do we need sacrifices to please the gods?

Just a random hot take.

Yepp, Eggsy would have been another good choice. As I said: You need to be charming. If you're charming, you'll have people root for you. That's all that matters.

I'm going to go with a left field choice and say they should've got John Boyega to lead Valerian.

 

He's looking good in sci fi recently like TFA and the Pacific Rim 2 trailer.

I don't think star power saves Valerian unless they got DiCaprio or Denzel.

The Chrises weren't availble for Valerian, let s face the cold hard truth.

Boyega in Valerian would be very problematic with him already being in SW. Those universes seem way too close, I don't think people would buy it.

Yup. So many more reasonable choices.

[Subzero]

It's still early but Jeez, those holdover number for SMH and APES ...

Pretty good for Dunkirk and GT. Hopefully by Morning everything will have increase another $1-2M

I'm not talking about Starpower, but about type-casting, audiences expect in such a movie. I see, that is tempting for directors to think they can break some barriers down, but in the end, they usually fail.

Couple hours ago thinking Dunkirk 22, I think for now I'll keep it at that, GT 13, Val 6.5 , SMH 6, Apes 5.5

60% of the visual effects for Valérian were done by Weta Digital.

Yes, sometimes directors try to get cute with casting and often it leads to bad results.
