So wack ass 'Jupiter Ascending' got pushed back to FEB. 2015

[Real]

Citing the need to finish special effects, Warner Bros. has delayed the Andy and Lana Wachowskimovie “Jupiter Ascending” from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015.

Domestic distribution chief Dan Fellman said that the Wachowskis needed more time to complete their work on more than 2,000 special effects shots in the film.

“With the July release date, they were just not going to make it on time,” he added. “A lot of the issue for us was getting it ready for the international release, since the foreign territories need additional time.”

Fellman also said noted that the sci-fier would now open on the same weekend that Warner Bros. used for “The Lego Movie” this year. The exec said that the sci-fier had been shown in rough form at test screenings.

Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth and Sean Bean are starring. The Wachowskis produced and directed from their own script.

The story, set at a time when humans are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder, follows a woman targeted for assassination by the queen of the universe.

Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow co-financed “Jupiter Ascending,” which has a price tag of $150 million project.

“Jupiter Ascending” was originally dated by Warner Bros. for July more than a year ago.

The Wachowskis produced and directed “The Matrix” trilogy for Warner Bros. with the three films grossing over $1.6 billion, followed by the underperforming “Speed Racer” in 2006. They produced and co-directed “Cloud Atlas” in 2012.

Sadly, they are. After V for Vendetta, they fell off...

If you get moved to January or February, =test screenings were BAD and they are expecting commercial and critical flop

I actually think it'll be a fairly decent watch at least for sci-fi fans but it's gonna flop hard no matter when it gets released .

I am dumbfounded that another Hollywood studio would give the Wachowski's another huge budget after Cloud Atlas

Trailer was laughably bad.

I still enjoyed cloud atlas that movie was never going to be commercially successful though

 

[Clark Wayne]

Smart move . shyt was going to bomb hard if it released this year. shyt, it still might bomb next year too. February doesn't have much competition so the studio just saved themselves a few millions.

Lana Wachowski trying to add Lux/Sierra Mist cameos, an Alabastor **** soundtrack and more sparking glitter on Magic Mike is what really pushed it back.
