The question, of course, is if he'll re-purpose material he wrote for Rogue One into this film.

We'll probably know for sure if we hear the Star Wars theme in it anywhere.

Interesting comments by Luc Besson on the music, giving some freedom to the composer and why it seems that "you don’t have the time to place themes in the film anymore"
From http://www.slashfilm.com/luc-besson-valerian-interview/2/
Question: When you have a trailer with a bold song like this, bold music choice, it makes me wonder what is the music gonna be like in the actual film?
Luc Besson: He start Monday. So I can’t tell you exactly.
Question: Who’s that?
Luc Besson: We talked a lot with the musician. And for now there are few options, and I give him few weeks to come and surprise me with something. I don’t want to start and say, okay here is what I want. Because maybe he has an idea that is better than mine. You know, so I tell him what I want. But I say, okay, for now, you are free for a couple of weeks to digest the thing and see what’s coming from you.
Question: But it’s gonna be all traditional score, it’s not gonna be pop songs?
Luc Besson: No, probably classical probably. We don’t know yet if there is a place for a theme. Which is very interesting because of the rhythm of the film in the ’70s and ’80s like Star Wars and the film before that... I’m a big Star Wars fan, so nothing against the film, but the rhythm was way more, you know, [MAKES NOISE] They come in, they walk, they open the door, they talk. You know, it’s another rhythm. With this rhythm, you have the time to put theme. Today with the Internet and the way that people are watching films, it’s so fast that you don’t have the time to place themes in the film anymore. It’s very strange. It goes too fast. They finish the line, boom, open, tack; they take the thing, the door, up, another line. You know, it’s the rhythm of today. You can’t escape that. So I don’t know if we will have themes in a classical way.
Trailer is out by the way

Okay, well, that's a total bullshit statement 
Why not kinda be daring and make a movie for people with an attention span? You can still fill the movie with all the CGI you want, but, ya know, tell a story along the way. That way there's "time to place themes" in the movie.

The score is being recorded in France.
http://www.cinezik.org/infos/affinfo.php?titre0=20170221170734
Google Translate of that article:
The National Orchestra of France and the choir of Radio France are recording the music of Luc Besson's film, VALERIAN, composed by Alexandre Desplat. This is a first since 1984, when the house of the radio recorded the "Carmen" of Francesco Rosi.
Alexandre Desplat is known for recording regularly with the London Symphonic Orchestra (LSO) in London. Most of the major French composers (Eric Neveux, Bruno Coulais, Philippe Rombi) have often expressed their preference for English orchestras.
The choice to remain in France for this recording would be a choice of Luc Besson, fervent patriot who did everything possible to make the filming of his film is located in France - notably in its City of Cinema (by negotiating taxes with the " French State).
Luc Besson has also centralized in his Cité du cinéma all stages of creation (from production to post-production through filming). Only the musical part is missing the studios of St Denis, hence an agreement signed between Radio France and EuropaCorp, the company of Luc Besson, after several months of negotiation, allowing today 95 musicians of the Orchester National de France And 40 singers of the choir of Radio France to participate in the recording at Studio 104 of the Maison de la Radio.
The most expensive superproduction in the history of French cinema, with a budget of more than 170 million euros, "Valérian and the City of the thousand planets" Luc Besson is on the bill in July.

Exactly.
But Besson, IMO, has always desperately followed a trend without questioning it.
No time or rhythm for a theme? That is just absurd. You make the movies you want to make.
