For example, in your house, you have the heater on the ground itself. Here, it’s the gravity. No matter where you are, that’s where the gravity is coming from. It’s almost like a carpet that you put down. If you’re on the other side, it doesn’t matter to us because we’re still walking on the ground. Actually, at the beginning of the film [Valerian], we see when they install the gravity system.

I did The Fifth Element and [Jean-Claude] Mezieres, the artist of Valerian; he was working on Fifth Element. And he’s actually the one who say, why don’t you do Valerian? And I said because we can’t make it. And you really have to wait for Avatar and to suddenly think oh okay, maybe we can think of it. But before Avatar, just forget it.

I have like 10 actors and 100 aliens in the film [Valerian]. And they come from the four corners of the universe. Some of them are liquid. Some of them are just [so visually] crazy.

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.

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.

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

I wrote the entire history of Alpha because the space station was around for 500 years. I have 30 pages on the history of Alpha. Every ten years what happens. They took control and what happened. Every 80 years, they have to change the communication system because it doesn’t work anymore. Some aliens come with new technology, and suddenly you can change the electric system. We wrote the entire story [for Valerian]
