Rihanna has been really silent lately, which means shes booking gigs. It seems like the pop superstar will be staring in the sci-fi film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Director Luc Besson made the announcement via his Instagram account. “RIHANNA is in VALERIAN!!!!! ….and she has a big part!! I’m Sooo excited!!!” he wrote. He’s not the only one excited about her joining the cast.
Variety reports that Rihanna will join Cara Delevingne (Paper Towns), Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2), and Clive Owen (Closer). Production begins in France in January and the movie is set to hit theaters on July 21, 2017. The film is based on Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres’ graphic novel, which takes place in the 28th century when humanity has discovered time travel.
