‘Jupiter Ascending’ Features Channing Tatum As A Wolf/Human Hybrid
While many fans have started looking ahead to the summer of 2015, we have a full summer of blockbusters to watch before that. 2014 will provide new movies from well-known franchises and characters likeSpider-Man, X-Men, Transformers, Fast and Furious,as well asPlanet of the Apes. Lots of familiar properties to go around for everyone.
Then on June 24, 2025 comes a film with no precursor. It has no built-in franchise awareness and, at this point,very fewclues to its nature are available. That movie isJupiter Ascending, the latest film from the groundbreakingAndy and LanaWachowski. The wholly original sci-fi action film starsMila Kunisas “a cleaning woman who, unbeknownst to her, shares a genetic makeup with the Queen of the Universe. The Queen isn’t all that happy about the existence of a potential rival, and sends a character playedChanning Tatumto track her down.”
In a new interview, Tatum revealed that he’s playing a half-wolf, half-human in the film and said the Wachowskis are “doing stuff that’s never been done.”
Colliderspoke to Tatum about the film during the press junket forWhite House Down:
Then, describing his character, Tatum said the following:
I’m a splice. Splices are essentially built in a test tube. I’m a hybrid wolf and human. And half albino, so I’m a little defective.
Sounds like the Wachowskis are continuing to push the limits of what movies can do, plus the fact they’re trying to do things practically should be good news to sci-fi fans. What are your thoughts onJupiter Ascending?
