LOS ANGELES (AP) - Director Luc Besson says getting Rihanna's team on board for her role in the sci-fi epic "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" was a little painful at first but worth it in the end.

The pop superstar co-stars in the film as a burlesque dancer named Bubble who performs in a seedy club owned by Ethan Hawke.

Besson says her team was rightfully protective of her at the outset, but that once she was on set, she was focused and generous. Early viewers have hailed Rihanna's small role as a scene-stealer.
