JUPITER ASCENDING Set To Face Off Against Brett Ratner's HERCULES In July 2014
Warner Bros. has finally given the new science fiction film from Andy and Lana Wachowski a release date, and it means that Jupiter Ascending will face off against Brett Ratner's take on Hercules (which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). Read on for details!
Jupiter Ascending will be released on July 25th, 2014. This means that Andy and Lana Wachowski's (The Matrix Trilogy, Cloud Atlas) latest sci-fi film will face off against Hercules (which is based on the Hercules: The Thracian Wars graphic novel). The Brett Ratner helmed fantasy epic was recently moved so that it wouldn't be released opposite Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, but both of these films now open just a week after X-Men: Days of Future Past. July 2014 will be one busy month for moviegoers! The film stars Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne, Sean Bean, Douglas Booth and Tuppence Middleton, and "is set in a time where humans are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder and are watched by higher forms of life and follows a woman who has been targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe."
