Nu Metro’s Hyde Park Corner hosted the exclusive South African premiere event for the new epic fantasy adventure film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, on 20 July.
The premiere event welcomed celebrities, media and members of the public to a movie set in a universe beyond imagination. The Nu Metro Hyde Park complex was transformed into the City of a Thousand Planets, with exotic intergalactic species from the film present and themed food and decor setting the stage.

In the 28th century, Valerian, played by Dane DeHaan, and Laureline, played by Cara Delevingne, are a team of special operatives charged with maintaining order throughout the human territories.
