BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Channing Tatum Confirms Jupiter Ascending

Though they make a point of trying to keep as much about their films as quiet as humanly possible, news has slowly been leaking out about the Wachowski siblings’ new sci-fi project Jupiter Ascending. First there was talk of Natalie Portman considering a role, then word that Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis were in talks. Now, via Tatum himself, comes confirmation that he’s locked in.

Talking with MTV, Tatum admitted that he was indeed part of the movie. And he even talked a little bit about what we can expect: "It's going to be a crazy action movie from the directors of The Matrix. They're going to reinvent the wheel as far as action goes, all over again."

So what is it really all about? Well, Vulture tapped a source that seemed to offer some details, though naturally all of this is still unconfirmed and if it’s true, could end up being more information than you require, so look away now if you’re trying to stay away from any possible details.

According to the source, Jupiter finds Kunis as a Russian immigrant working a low-paid job scrubbing toilets, who is seemingly unaware that she possesses the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe. Naturally, the Queen isn’t amused by that idea, and dispatches a bounty hunter (Tatum) to kill the young woman. But love blossoms instead.

Hhm… A young, beautiful woman is perceived as a threat by a powerful queen who sends someone to kill her but they end up united? Have we heard that one before? Nope, can’t think of anything.

But the idea that the Wachowskis might be looking to pull another Matrix-level shift of the action movie at least makes us excited. Even if we’re hoping they don’t want to then follow it up with two overstuffed sequels…

The pair’s most recent effort, complex, time / gender / taboo-spanning novel adaptation Cloud Atlas, is set for release later this year.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure
