Jupiter Ascending is written, produced and directed by The Wachowskis. The film centers on Jupiter (Mila Kunis), a lowly janitor who learns that she has a great genetic destiny.The film's co-producer is Grant Hill, who produced two previous Wachowski films, Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas.

Set in the future where gods rule over humans, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) is an unlucky Russian immigrant who cleans toilets for a living. She encounters Caine (Channing Tatum), an interplanetary warrior whom the Queen of the Universe sent to kill Jupiter. Caine tells Jupiter that the stars were pointing to an extraordinary event on the night she was born, and that her DNA could mark her as the universe's next leader.

Rumors have been circulating lately about the Wachowskis making a return to their seminal sci-fi feature film, ‘The Matrix’, by creating a new trilogy for Warner Bros. However, before they can get the ball rolling on that, they have two other works marking their return to the genre after a short break from it to explore other projects such as ‘Speed Racer’ and ‘Cloud Atlas’. 

About a month ago, we got new details about the siblings’ upcoming Netflix show ‘Sense8’, but well before that show premieres, we’ll get to see ‘Jupiter Ascending’, the upcoming space opera starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis. Prior to the New Year, we got to see the first trailer for this highly anticipated movie, but now a new trailer has recently hit the web and offers some new footage.
