Here’s the first trailer for Andy and Lana Wachowski‘s upcoming science fiction flick Jupiter Ascending, which stars Mila Kunis as Jupiter Jones, a Russian immigrant who discovers she is next in line to become queen of the universe. Channing Tatum plays a very elfish looking solider tasked with protecting her. Like the Wachowski’s previous films, this looks like a very visually rich world filled with pretty imagery and plenty of action.
Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, James D’Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith, and Doona Bae also star, Jupiter Ascending hits theaters July 25, 2014. Hit the jump to check out the trailer and synopsis.
From the streets of Chicago to the far-flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting 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 (Channing 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.
