Gurry Orbits "Jupiter Ascending"

Aussie actor Kick Gurry ("Spartan," "Garage Days") is re-teaming with his "Speed Racer" directors Lana and AndyWachowski on their upcoming sci-fi thriller "Jupiter Ascending" says Deadline.


The plot is said to involve higher forms of life on other planets watching us. These beings have some human and animal DNA in them.

Mila Kunis will play a Russian immigrant and toilet cleaner who unknowingly carries "the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe and is therefore a threat to her otherwise immortal rule." A bounty hunter (Channing Tatum) is dispatched to kill her, but they fall in love.

Sean Bean will play a roguish character named Stinger. Eddie Redmayne Tuppence Middleton and Douglas Booth also star.

No details have emerged on whom Redmayne, Booth, and Middleton will play. Middleton and Bean worked before on Cleanskin with the Wachowskis

The Wachowski's will write, direct and produce the film

Shooting is underway in London ahead of a release in July 2014.
