Im sorry but I have no fucking idea how this movie is non american and french in anyway. Star Wars has a less American cast in this. Wtf you cast to american leads, and Rihanna. Honestly how is this different. The story was typical big budget Sci Fi

I know that, but she's an American pop star first and foremost.

yeah, but the writers and directors were French, and it is  based  on a French comic book.  And Luc Besson style as a director is definently French. It is all about the style,guy.

Visually mostly great, but the script was TERRIBLE and oddly sexist. Cara was surprisingly better than Dane, but they had no chemistry.

I think casting French actors and actresses wouldn't help the movie obtain much money.

I saw it, it could have been fun but Dane DeHaan is jarringly awful in it.  He deserves a Razzie.

So what you're saying is I should expect moments as brilliant as this:

 

 

 

This never gets old

Nolan has cast Collitard, a French actress, in TDKR and Inception in prominent roles. I find it amusing that as V went up against Dunkirk, Besson did not cast a French lead (one, if not both). I mean, come on!

Just looking around in Twitter and I see this tweet

 

 

Can anybody translate? It has something related to SW:TFA.

It's attendance at a 9am showing iat this Paris theater is the highest since Force Awakens (540 admissions vs 898 admissions).  The comments point out Lucy did 100 more - 640

This is the fourth biggest 9am showing at this theater ever.

 

Spectre : 1030

TFA : 898

Lucy (Luc Besson was there): 640

Valerian (Luc Besson was there) : 540

So that means it's going to do less than Lucy. A list leads would have surely helped.

Just let the man win something. A win's a win. 

 

LOL that Cotillard gif is iconic. She'd forever be known and adored for that scene alone. All her Oscars and Caesars will be forgotten but that scene will live on and on and on.

Ok-ish Paris 2PM for Valerian;

2nd biggest of the year

4th biggest of Besson filmography

 

ARTHUR AND THE INVISIBLES : 11 281 admissions
THE FIFTH ELEMENT: 6 905
LUCY : 6 359
VALERIAN : 5 306

 

It looks like a 1.5m OW to me.

He probably should have just cast Scarlett in this, too.  Along with Ryan Reynolds, or someone of that ilk and status.  It might.  might.  might.  have helped...  Half of LUCY's business was probably tied to the status/impact of its leads.

He came off like he was a guy in a small high school play who only got the role because the theater program only had one guy.
