Having missed out on its summer blockbuster window last year, Lana and Andy Wachowski are slowly gearing up for the release of their space-faring adventure, Jupiter Ascending, which is now only a few weeks out.
And to stoke the embers of excitement once again, Warner Bros. has unveiled a collection of concept art for the ambitious sci-fi along with a trio of clips that offer new, all-to-brief looks at the sibling’s next genre piece.
Starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis as the titular, would-be ruler, Jupiter Ascending looks to be another exercise in special effects goodness from the filmmaking siblings, however it remains to be seen whether the core narrative is on par with the show-stopping visuals.
Tatum and Kunis will be joined by Sean Bean, James D’Arcy, Tuppence Middleton, Terry Gilliam and The Theory of Everything‘s Eddie Redmayne when Jupiter Ascending arrives in theaters across planet earth on February 6, 2015.
Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in “Jupiter Ascending,” an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski. Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that 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 (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. From the streets of Chicago to far flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” is written and directed by the Wachowskis.
