The Wachowskis have demonstrated a penchant for stylized and comic book-ish sci-fi, but the latest trailer for their next movie — Jupiter Ascending — shows that they may have outdone themselves. The colorful trailer fleshes out the back story of lead character Jupiter Jones, played by Mila Kunis, as she's pulled from a life of toilet cleaning by half-man half-wolf hybrid Channing Tatum, before being forced to fall off buildings and participate in space battles on her way to becoming the ruler of the universe. Tatum, for his part, shows he's not human in classic Star Trek-style — by wearing too much eye makeup.
