The release of James Cameron's Avatar in 2009 changed everything for Luc Besson. For years, the French director had been pestered by Jean-Claude Mézières – the illustrator behind the comic book series Valérian et Laureline, written by Pierre Christin – to create an adaptation of his work. He'd always reply in the negative, noting the absurd alien to human ratio of the source material. But after Cameron showed that technology wasn't a barrier, Besson started to consider it seriously. He ditched his original script and rewrote the whole thing from scratch.
