First Trailer For The Wachowski’s ‘Jupiter Ascending’

Andy and Lana Wachowski’s CLOUD ATLAS may have been a hit with the critics but the epic, star studded sci-fi adventure (co-directed by PERFUME’s Tom Twyker and based on the novel by David Mitchell) couldn’t reach the same commercial heights as their MATRIX trilogy. Still, Warner Bros. were impressed enough and subsequently offered up another wedge of cash for their futuristic follow-up JUPITER ASCENDING.

The talented stunner Mila Kunis leads the film, in which humans are near the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, as a desperate young woman targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe as her existence threatens the evil monarch’s reign.

Check out the first trailer for the sci-fi fantasy co-starring Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, James D’Arcy, Doona Bae and Tuppence Middleton.

Jupiter Jones (Mila 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 toilets 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.

JUPITER ASCENDING is set for cinemas from 25th July 2014.
