After lending their hands to the epic and technically jaw dropping Cloud Atlas, Andy and Lana Wachowski are back with sci-fi actioner Jupiter Ascending, and judging by the below trailer, it promises to be spectacular. A bit more in keeping with the tone of The Matrix, Mila Kunis stars as an ordinary girl who finds she has the genetic signature which puts her next in line to be the Queen of the Universe, with Channing Tatum as the genetically modified alien hunter charged with tracking her down. One thing The Wachowski's are great at is world building, and that is definitely on display here. Check it out for yourself!
Synopsis: From the streets of Chicago to the far-flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Released: 25th July 2014
