Rihanna is to take a starring role in a science fiction film by the visionary French director Luck Besson in her first Significant move into Hollywood.
The singer, who has sold 41million albums worldwide, follows actors such as Scarlett Johansson, milla jovovich and Zoe saldana in working with Besson.
The 27-year-old will have a big role in the upcoming film "Valerian and the city of a thousand planets", joining a cast that includes Clive Owen and the model turned actor cara delevinge.
Besson the director of fifth element known for his action movies, tweeted his excitement on Wednesday night that Rihanna would be taking on her first major screen role in his film.
The film, by Bresson's own admission is a risky venture. It will be an adaptation of the French comic Valerian and laureline, with a budget of $180m, which he described earlier this year as " Mr and Mrs smith in space". Besson told San Diego comic-con he had thrown his original script for the movie in the bin and re written it with only five parts for humans. Filming on the project is due to begin in France in January 2016.
