Luc Besson, the master mind behind popular sci-fi movies 'The Fifth Element' and 'Lucy', does not shy away from stating that he fell in love French comic series Valerian and Laureline, right from the moment he read the first comic book as a kid. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he had been wanting to transport the world of Valerian from the pages of a book to the silver screen.
