In the future, Mila Kunis is a janitor who might hold the key to the universe. And Channing Tatum is a genetically engineered former soldier tasked with coming to Earth to save her. That’s the general run-down of Jupiter Ascending, the latest sci-fi brain-buster from Lana and Andy Wachowski. And even though it sounds nuts, based on this first trailer it looks like it also might be crazy fun.
It’s the first fully original story from the Wachowski’s since The Matrix trilogy — V for Vendetta, Speed Racer and last year’s Cloud Atlas were all adaptations in one form or another. So Jupiter Ascending, which Lana Wachowski has described as “a science-fiction space opera[1] ,” will be a test of whether or not the pair can return to form (big ideas, cool effects, etc.).
Looking at this first footage, it appears that maybe they can. It’s dark and twisted, the cityscapes are gorgeous, Tatum – who plays Caine – looks like some kind of Hellboy-ish futuristic warrior prince/”perfect hunting machine” and Kunis falls off a building. Ok, sure, we’re in.
