Middleton Blasts Off To "Jupiter Ascending"

Tuppence Middleton has joined Lana and Andy Wachowski's sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending" says Variety.

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 and Douglas Booth also star.

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

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

Production will begin this spring. The film is expected to hit theaters in 2014.
