Channing Tatum’s sci-fi blockbuster Jupiter Ascending pushed back seven months

THE trailers are already out for Channing Tatum’s upcoming sci-fi blockbuster - but it’s now been pushed back for release until next year. Is it doomed to fail?

UH OH. Jupiter Ascending, the upcoming sci-fi thriller from Lana and Andy Wachowski, has been pushed back from its July 18 release date to February 6, 2015.

Channing Tatum stars as a “half-wolf, half-albino warrior” who tries to save Mila Kunis’ character, a house cleaner with perfect genetics who threatens the Queen of the Universe. Naturally, the queen tries to have Kunis killed. Warner Bros. has already released a few trailers that preview the fire-powered action and futuristic costumes.

The movie had a reported budget of $150 million but needed extra time to work on the more than 2,000 special effects shot in the film, Variety reports. Warner Bros. domestic distribution chief Dan Fellman told the trade mag, “A lot of the issue for us was getting it ready for the international release, since the foreign territories need additional time.”

The Wachowskis are the brains behind the Matrix trilogy, which grossed more than $1.6 billion, V For Vendetta, Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas.
