Production has begun on Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow’s Jupiter Ascending, a new sci-fi adventure from Andy and Lana Wachowski (The Matrix), starring Mila Kunis (Oz, the Great and Powerful) and Channing Tatum (Magic Mike).

The synopsis reads:

Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks.

Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along – her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Jupiter Ascending co-stars Eddie Redmayne (Les Misérables), Douglas Booth (Noah), James D’Arcy (Hitchcock), Tuppence Middleton (Trance), Doona Bae (Cloud Atlas) and Sean Bean (“Game of Thrones”). The film will shoot in the U.K. until June before moving production to Chicago.

Jupiter Ascending is slated for release in 3D on July 25, 2014.
