October 20, 2011 - Jupiter Ascending / project announced
Scooped on Sunday, November 13, 2011
It's a science fiction movie and it's called Jupiter Ascending and it will be the next movie that Matrix creators Andy and Lana Wachowski make for Warner Bros. next. Aside from that, no one knows anything else about it.
The Wachowskis are co-directing Cloud Atlas right now with director Tom Twyker, so they won't get around to doing this project until sometime next year. The studio wants someone on the A-list to star in it, which gets away from the Wachowskis' last big genre effort, Speed Racer, which relied on trippy visuals over star leading hype. That didn't work and Speed Racer was a bomb.
So what can we speculate about Jupiter Ascending? Well, if the title is to be taken literally, it could be set around the solar system's largest planet. Is it set in the future? Does it take place on Earth and we're dealing with something that's gone wrong around Jupiter? [Full story]

"Both Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis have been offered the top male and female roles..."? Then one would assume the plot must have something to do with transexualism. "Myra Breckinridge In Space!", anyone?
