Terry Gilliam Takes Small Part In The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending

“Off at dawn tomorrow to pretend to be an actor in the new Wachowski’s (sic) film Jupiter Ascending. It’s a small but vital part (or so I’m told).” Not that much is known about the film’s plotline anyway, so we could know his name and occupation and still have no idea who he is. ...

Jupiter Ascending Reveals Plot As Wachowskis Begin Production

Jupiter Ascending Reveals Plot As Wachowskis Begin Production

Finally, we know the names of Kunis and Tatum's characters, and have some idea what the film's title refers to. Not only is Jupiter Ascending and allusion to the Zodiac, but also the destiny of its title character! Ratcheting up the drama of this adventure tale, Jupiter doesn't know about her prophesized rise to power, but previous reports tell us the extraterrestrial Queen of the Universe does, and so wants Jupiter dead. According to these same early reports, Caine is the Queen's huntsman in what seems to be a sci-fi Snow White tale. ...

The Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending, Starring Mila Kunis And Channing Tatum, Sets July 2014 Release

Because the Matrix name still means a whole lot to studios, the Wachowskis are moving full speed ahead on their next giant project, Jupiter Ascending, a futuristic drama set in a future world where humans have become the lowest species on the intergalactic totem pole. With Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum on board to star and an easy-to-embrace premise (unlike poor Cloud Atlas), Jupiter Ascending has a ton of potential, and Warner Bros. has now shown a huge sign of faith in it...

The Wachowskis' Cloud Atlas Follow-Up Jupiter Ascending Secures Extra Financing

Though it managed to eventually make an impressive $107 million worldwide, Cloud Atlas was a sad entry in the box office of 2012, an expensive and beautiful passion project that divided critics and was roundly rejected by American audiences. Even the poor movie's Blu-ray release has been pushed back all the way to May...

Douglas Booth Joins The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending

Douglas Booth Joins The Wachowski's Jupiter Ascending

The Wachowskis are one of the more admirable forces in Hollywood. Their vision remains unaffected by a viewing audience that often chastises them for their films, including their bloated novel adaptations; the terrible machine-filled sequels; and their reboot of one of the most vapid cartoons in history. Even as essentially useless a couple of their films may be, the rest are quite memorable and work on a technical level that other directors only dream of....

Sean Bean Cast As Han Solo Type In Wachowski Starship's Jupiter Ascending

With fantasy epics like The Lord or the Rings and Game of Thrones to his credit, Sean Bean has forged a reputation for performances that carry a quiet warrior gravitas and dignified dramatic weight. So when we hear he's been cast in a new role, obviously we expect it to be a part that demands some serious swagger....

Les Miserables Star Eddie Redmayne To Join Channing Tatum In Wachowskis' Next Sci-Fi Effort

Les Miserables Star Eddie Redmayne To Join Channing Tatum In Wachowskis' Next Sci-Fi Effort

It's unclear what Redmyane's role will be, and as much as I want him to go full Cloud Atlas transformation and play an alien, it seems more likely he'll be a human as well. Either way, it's great to see the actor gaining a higher profile. His role as Marius should have plenty of emotional young girls swooning after him...

Channing Tatum Confirms He'll Make Jupiter Ascending With The Wachowskis

Channing Tatum was one of the highlights of last night's MTV Movie Awards, stepping onstage to present an award with his Magic Mike co-star Matthew McConaughey, and getting surprised not just by Joe Manganiello in full fireman's gear, but a very giddy Elizabeth Banks as she stepped up to accept her award...

Crazy Details Emerge About The Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending

As Vulture rightly points out, what happens next is a bit similar to the plot of Snow White and the Huntsman: Tatum plays a more-evolved creature who's also a bounty hunter sent to kill Kunis's character, but instead he falls in love with her, and the two of them presumably team up...

Channing Tatum And Mila Kunis In The Running For The Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending

While we sadly know no plot details, we can extrapolate that Tatum, with two of 2012's noteworthy box offices successes (The Vow and 21 Jump Street) under his belt, will be pulling down a major check from WB should he sign on. He's proven his bankability with audiences and his charisma to critics, so he'd be a major get for Jupiter....

The Wachowski Siblings Want Natalie Portman To Star In Jupiter Ascending

The last time a director approached Natalie Portman about starring in a science-fiction epic, it didn't turn out so well. I am, of course, referring to what happened with Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity back in 2010. After hopes of landing Angelina Jolie for the lead role in the project were destroyed, the filmmaker went after the the future Oscar winner, only to be denied....

The Wachowskis Finding A-List Actors For Their Next Movie, Jupiter Ascending

Apparently the Wachowskis want to cast an A-list star in the lead role, and though their Cloud Atlas cast is dynamite, including Tom Hanks, Hugo Weaving, Halle Berry, Hugh Grant and Susan Sarandon, they're probably thinking along even bigger lines. Actors probably are too-- Keanu Reeves is set for life thanks to the money he brought in from The Matrix...
