: Thank for posting sources, but please stop making assumptions of bad faith. Some of those could be taken to say that the film is not an international co-production, and yet we have others that do say it is an international co-production. I will alert WikiProject Film to this debate, and maybe we can come to some kind of consensus.

::Besides, TopicAces mentioned Hollywood Reporter at the beginning of this discussion, but the [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/valerian-city-a-thousand-planets-review-1019847 latest article in that magazine] actually mentions ''Valerian'' as a French import. The production is certainly not international. This is proven by articles such as [http://bfmbusiness.bfmtv.com/entreprise/valerian-rapportera-4-fois-plus-a-luc-besson-qu-a-toutes-ses-stars-948692.html this one] {{in lang|fr}} which shows an official document that lists separately the French production companies (Valerian SAS and TF1 Films Production) and the foreign production companies (none), which is also what is written on the posters. Some sources, such as Allmovie, say the "country" is "France-USA" (what does it mean?), but this website doesn't even mention EuropaCorp or Valerian SAS as production companies. And the more research I do, the more sources I find that describe Valerian as a French movie, including in US sources (e.g. [https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/movies/luc-besson-valerian-france-most-expensive-film.html NY Times]). So I might change my mind compared to what I said above... [[User:Seudo|Seudo]] ([[User talk:Seudo|talk]]) 19:12, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 
For every source that says it is purely French, it seems there is another (sometimes apparently the very publication) that says the film is a co-production among France and US. I feel we can't assume that these sources are giving out blanket statements and themselves assuming the US was involved, so the "safe" thing is to list the US, although it does seem it's a toss up/crap shoot at this point; really just comes down to who do you believe [[User:TropicAces|TropicAces]] ([[User talk:TropicAces|talk]]) 19:23, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
