Audiences worried when the announcement came that the Wachowskis’ latest sci-fi epic Jupiter Ascending would be moving back to next February. While we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if those fears were warranted, the latest trailer has arrived and offers some encouraging spectacle.
Jupiter Ascending focuses on Mila Kunis’ Jupiter Jones, a young woman who was born under signs predicting great things. But as an adult, a series of bad breaks have led to her gig cleaning other people’s houses. Then Caine (Channing Tatum) comes a-calling, rescuing her when some very nasty medical types discover who she really is and attempt to terminate her.
Swept up into a huge struggle for the future of the solar system and our world in particular, Jupiter learns that she’s in line to be the owner of the Earth as part of a complicated hierarchy that stretches between the stars. Sadly for our heroine, some very powerful and dangerous people are also laying claim to her birthright. The new trailer has some extra shots of fancy effects creatures and vistas, proving that there was definitely still work to be done.
With Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, Doona Bae, James Darcy and Tim Piggott-Smith both in the cast and a variety of crazy costumes, **Jupiter Ascending **lands in our cinemas February 6 next year.
