Rihanna to Play Space Stripper in Upcoming 'Valerian' Film: Report

Rihanna already plays an alienesque character in Star Trey Beyond's "Sledgehammer" video, and the popstar will continue to explore an alternate universe in her upcoming role in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The sci-fi film, directed by Luc Besson, was previewed during San Diego's Comic-Con.
