'Jupiter Ascending' Delayed Until February 2015

By Dave McNary

Warner Bros. has delayed the Andy and Lana Wachowski movie Jupiter Ascending from July 18 to Feb. 6, 2015.

The studio did not give a reason for pulling the sci-fier from the summer schedule a mere seven weeks before its opening.

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

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 the $150 million project.

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