Trailer: Jupiter Ascending


jupiter1

The Wachowskis, Andy and Lana, have a new film set for release in early 2015. Jupiter Ascending was suppose to come out in 2014, but things happened and now it’s been pushed back for a February 2015 release.

Such a drastic delay in release usually means something major on the negative side of the ledger has occurred and the studio in charge of it’s release have little to no faith in the film. Has Warner Bros. Studios lost faith in the latest Wachowski offering? Is Jupiter Ascending the hot mess that it has been rumored about? Is the grandiose space opera the film is being made out to be making studio exec’s nervous?

So, many questions that most people who like to dwell on the in’s and out’s of filmmaking and the business of making them are probably asking themselves.

My only concern is that the Wachowskis have taken the extra time to make the film they set out to make. They’re one of the few filmmakers who seem to always get to do the sort of dream projects that more successful directors rarely get a chance to or even attempt to try. Whether it’s The Matrix, Speed Racer or Cloud Atlas, the Wachowskis have danced to their own tune and for some reason Warner Bros. continue to give them big-budgets after big-budgets to get their next dream project made into reality.

Here’s to hoping Guardians of the Galaxy being such a huge success will help this upcoming space opera turn it’s February release (usually a place where films go to die) into a new addition to the resurgence of the space opera.

  1. I’ll lay my cards on the table – I get very nervous when I see Mila Kunis tries to do anything outside comedy. I’m not on the Channing Tatum bandwagon either so when I saw the trailer in the cinema (some time ago now before the film was pulled) I cringed a bit because it looked a bit of a stinker. Here’s hoping the extra few months of tinker time prove me wrong. Don’t like watching bad movies.

    • I’d agree wholeheartedly if not for her performance in Black Swan and Ted. Looking at what the Wachowskis seem to be going for with Jupiter Ascending I think they’re not asking for her to carry the film herself.
