MANILA, Philippines - Released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Jupiter Ascending, an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski of The Matrix trilogy, is now showing in theaters nationwide. The movie features Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean and Eddie Redmayne as main cast members.
In the film, 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. Award-winning producer Grant Hill, with whom the Wachowskis have collaborated since The Matrix trilogy, is co-producing. Roberto Malerba and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.
