As with any original Wachowski film, it can be difficult trying to wrap your head around it until you've actually seen it -- and even then, it can be tricky. Nevertheless, one source claims to have the latest scoop on Andy and Lana's upcoming sci-fi pic Jupiter Ascending.
Imagine a universe in which "human beings are just the Cro-Magnons, or even the Australopithecines, of what beings can ultimately go on to become in the galaxy,” explained an insider at Vulture. “It’s a return to form for [the Wachowskis], because these higher forms of life are watching us from other, albeit this time non-meta worlds, but actual, other worlds, as in planets and moons."
The story centers on an unlikely and reluctant heroine, a recent Russian immigrant -- played by actual Ukrainian native Mila Kunis -- who scrubs toilets for a living. Unbeknownst to her, however, she possesses the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe and is therefore a threat to her immortal rule. These other evolved beings are categorized into various groups, but all of them share at least some human DNA. The rest is animal DNA, which heightens their best qualities -- e.g., soldiers obtain the fearlessness of wolves, workers obtain the industriousness of bees, etc.
Soon, an evolved bounty hunter -- likely played by Channing Tatum -- is sent out to dispatch the cleaning lady with the Great Pair of Nucleotides. However, true to Matrix fashion, they fall in love. From there, calamity ensues. (It's also worth noting that this sounds suspiciously like Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman with a sci-fi twist, but we'll save that judgement for later.)
In other casting news, it sounds like Joseph Gordon-Levitt may also be up for a role in the film, though no other details were provided.
