There’s another comic book movie coming next year that you shouldn’t miss, and it’s not from either Disney/Marvel or Warner/DC:  Luc Bresson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, based on the Valérian and Laureline bande dessinée by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mézières.

EuropaCorp released a teaser trailer for the movie today set to a single verse of The Beatles’ “Because,” with John Lennon’s “Ahhhh” refrain stretched out to creepy effect to underscore the sci-fi action.  Here is the verse in question for your convenience:  “Because the sky is blue, it makes me cry / Because the sky is blue…aaaaaaaahhhh.””

Expect an international revival of interest in bande dessinée because of this movie, perhaps even being added to the YA fan base.
