Jupiter Ascending

2015, 127 minutes
Two characters stand with the planet Jupiter posed dramatically behind them, and a futuristic city-scape at their feet. The film's protagonist, Jupiter Jones, a woman with long dark brown hair and tan skin wearing a lightly patterned dark top with bare arms, dark jeans, and black leather boots, portrayed by Mila Kunis, faces directly towards the camera and stares assertively. Posed behind her to the left is Caine Wise, a tall muscular white man who is part-dog (with pointy ears and a brown beard to show for it), portrayed by Channing Tatum. He is posed in profile, his attention directed towards Jupiter in a protective manner, with a futuristic gun held towards the ground in his gloved hand. His arms are bare and tatooed with a whispy pattern, his chest covered with faintly patterned black armor and his legs covered with black pants and boots. The film's title, "Jupiter Ascending," is written in metallic text at the bottom of the poster. Beneath the title is text reading "from the creators of The Matrix trilogy."

Description

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.
