Quote

We talked a lot with the musician. And for now there are few options, and I give him few weeks to come and surprise me with something. I don't want to start and say, okay here is what I want. Because maybe he has an idea that is better than mine.

When I got the camera on the shoulder, they give me a nickname. They call me 'the tripod' because I'm kind of short and kind of strong. So if I take the camera and I lock myself, you think that you're on a crane.

I'm a big Star Wars fan.

I said if I made 10 films in my life, I would be very lucky. That's how I meant it. My fear after my first one was whether they would let me make another one, so I had this goal in my head.

It's always the small people who change things. It's never the politicians or the big guys. I mean, who pulled down the Berlin wall? It was all the people in the streets. The specialists didn't have a clue the day before.

That's the storyboard that we have in the beginning [of Valerian]. It's an easy shot. It's just a spaceship coming in. That's the first layout. On the first layout, we see the timing of the shot and the speed. It starts to get some shadows, and we see that everything is moving in the back.

I would rather stop [making movies] too soon than too late.

We were so ready [with Valerian] that we were early, which is unheard of in the history of the sci-fi film.

I try to follow my instinct as a moviegoer and I do the thing I would love to see it at a movie. I'm like everyone, almost, I go to a movie once a week. I like every kind of film if it’s well made. I’m fine. I’m not a specialist fighting for a genre of film. You just have to follow your instinct.

If you're someone from the government and you meet people from other countries, you want to know who you're dealing with. It's the same for them [in Valerian].
Luc Besson
Image
I was kind of surprised that, about 99 percent of the people grabbed the thing [in Valerian].You know it's their thing. And I'm very impressed by that.

Live your life, experience something, and then you're going to have a lot of things to say. But if you hang around in Hollywood, then you're going to say the same thing as everyone else - nothing.

You know sometimes you're in a position of risk and you feel that you can turn good or bad.

When Cara [Delevingne] and Dane [DeHaan] arrived, I told their agent, They need to know all this. I gave them the 600 pages. I said, You have to learn everything. You're a cop. You need to know the names. I don't want him, when he meets an alien to go, Whoa like this. I want him to know if this guy is peaceful.

I wanted to prove that I could do something, so I made a short film. That was in fact my main concern, to be able to show that I could do one.

My biggest surprise is probably the level of involvement of all the artists [in Valerian] who participated at every level.

Be humble and say okay, all right, I have to prep myself. So everybody prepped, and we finished the film [Valerian ] four days before the end.

Cinema never saved anyone's life, it is not a medicine that will save anyone's life. It is only an aspirin.

I think it's the society that drains us out, and we are in a society where we are driven by money.

If we wanted to make it the way I imagined I knew that we would have to wake up earlier and start very early. So we prep like crazy. And the competition you have is like Avatar, you have Star Wars, you have all the big Marvel stuff. So if you want to come in the race, you know, don't be pretentious.

I wanted to do something that was entertaining - but with a catch.
