Jupiter Ascending (2015)

The Wachowskis & the Cinema of Fluidity (Part 6)

In the penultimate episode of our series covering the filmography of The Wachowskis, we discuss their last theatrical feature (to date).

In JUPITER ASCENDING, Warner Bros. had hoped to see The Wachowskis create a new franchise to rival THE MATRIX series.

What they got instead was the weirdest film of the filmmakers' careers and their biggest box office failure yet.

But is JUPITER ASCENDING's reputation as a flop deserved? In this episode, we'll trace the film's creation and dive into a discussion on what we think of the Wachowskis' most ambitious film yet, one that would lead them away from feature filming for the following six years.
