Jupiter Ascending Release, Latest News: Wachowskis Still Getting Additional Special Effects Worked Into the Movie In Time For New Feb. 6, 2015 Release Date

Jupiter Ascending will be released for theater on screening on February 6, 2015, a seven-month reset from the originally-set schedule of July 18 this year. According to Hollywood Reporter's insider sources, the release postponement was made because the film still needed more special effects work done. According to Variety, the decision "was prompted by weak response to a research screening in late April and the fact that the visual effects, on which the futuristic thriller heavily relies, were incomplete."

Warner Bros.' domestic distribution chief Dan Fellman told Variety that the Wachowskis needed more time to complete their work on more than 2,000 special effects shots in the film. Said he, "With the July release date, they were just not going to make it on time. A lot of the issue for us was getting it ready for the international release, since the foreign territories need additional time."

Warner Bros. and Australia's Village Roadshow Pictures co-financed Jupiter Ascending, a $150 million project. Warner will pay over $100 million for the worldwide marketing of the movie while the remainder will be covered by Village Roadshow.

Jupiter Ascending is written, produced and directed by The Wachowskis, the brother-and-sister team of Andy and Lana Wachowski of The Matrix trilogy and V for Vendetta fame. The upcoming film is meant to mark their long-awaited return to the science-fiction genre after "The Matrix" movies. The Wachowski-s last two films, Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer, bombed at the box office.

The forthcoming sci-fi flick tells the story of Jupiter Jones (played by Mila Kunis), a lowly, unlucky Chicago cleaning lady who learns that she's been pre-destined to become Queen of the Universe.

Aside from Kunis, others in the cast include Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Boothe, Tuppence Middleton, Bae Doona, James D'Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith, David Ajala, Charlot Beaumont, Terry Gilliam, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sarah Campbell, Kick Gurry, Edward Hogg, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Luke Neal.
