2016 Razzie Awards Nominations

The nominations for the 2016 Golden Raspberry (Razzie) Awards have been announced. As usual, there are some good picks and some pretty weird ones. "Fifty Shades of Grey", "Pixels", "Jupiter Ascending" and "Paul Blart Mall Cop 2" dominate with six nominations each.

It's not all negativity, however, as the Razzies have included a 10th category last year, The Razzie Redeemer Award, which acknowledges past offenders who have redeemed themselves with some impressive work in the past year. The Redeemer winner is decided by a public vote of users from the Rotten Tomatoes website.

The 36th annual Razzie Awards winners will be announced on February 27th.

Box-Office: SPONGEBOB MOVIE Takes Down AMERICAN SNIPER

"The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water" replaced "American Sniper" as the top movie of the week at the box-office. The animated feature opened this weekend with $56 million and took first place, but Clint Eastwood's war drama still grossed $24 million over the last three days and made a domestic total of $282 million domestically.

The Wachowskis' sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending" flopped, as expected. The film grossed $19 million, a small number compared to its $179 million budget. Warner Bros is now looking overseas to soften the blow somewhat. Another long-delayed flop is Legendary's "Seventh Son", a fantasy adventure that did even worse with $7 million, versus a reported budget of $95 million. The film however performed much better overseas where it grossed $86 million.

New Wide Releases: "The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water", "Jupiter Ascending", "Seventh Son".

5 New Clips for JUPITER ASCENDING Starring Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum

Today we have five new clips for The Wachowski Siblings' wonderful sci-fi epic "Jupiter Ascending". Of course, wonderful might be an overstatement since early reviews seem to indicate that the movie is a mess, but it's no doubt an epicly wonderful mess. I would rather just remain positive until I see it, but I suppose there's not much hope left that this won't be anything but a misfire, both with critics and at the box-office. But I will probably like it anyway, because say what you will about the Wachowskis, but they don't do anything halfway. The film stars Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, James D’Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith and Doona Bae.

"Jupiter Ascending" opens in theaters on February 6, 2015.

5 New Comic Book Style JUPITER ASCENDING Posters

Five new awesome-looking posters for "Jupiter Ascending" have been released online. Written and directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski ("The Matrix Trilogy", "Cloud Atlas"), the film is a very original-looking space opera but has had some internal issues that determined the filmmakers and studio to delay its release by seven months. Even more alarming is the fact that early word from advanced screenings is that the film is pretty bad. Still, I loved every movie the Wachowskis ever made, and I'll probably enjoy this one as well. No matter how bad the film might be, the posters are gorgeous and perfectly capture the space opera vibe with a creative comic book style. The film stars Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, James D’Arcy, Tim Pigott-Smith and Doona Bae.

"Jupiter Ascending" opens in theaters on February 6, 2015.

A new international trailer and a batch of images have been released for "Jupiter Ascending". Written and directed by Andy and Lana Wachowski, the creators of "The Matrix Trilogy" and "Cloud Atlas", the film tells the story of a Russian immigrant (Mila Kunis) who discovers she is destined to become the Queen of the Universe and a genetically engineered ex-military hunter (Channing Tatum) who must protect her. The trailer still manages to find new footage to show without being too spoilery, although it does hint at Sean Bean having a hidden agenda, possibly a villainous one.

The Wachowskis’ JUPITER ASCENDING Official Synopsis

"Jupiter Ascending" is the new sci-fi film directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski ("The Matrix", "Cloud Atlas") and production has begun on April 2nd. Warner Bros. decided to shine the spotlight on the Wachowskis' new film by releasing an official press release which reveals the plot, cast and crew. The film is the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a young woman who cleans toilets for a living, until she discovers that she has a special genetic signature which makes her next in line to be the Queen of the Universe. Also starring are Channing Tatum, Eddie Redmayne, Douglas Booth, Tuppence Middleton, Doona Bae, James D’Arcy and Sean Bean. The film opens on July 25, 2014 (in 3D).

Here is the official press release which also includes the official synopsis:

"Filming is underway on Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ “Jupiter Ascending,” an original science fiction epic adventure from filmmakers Lana and Andy Wachowski. Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis star in the film, which began shooting at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden on April 2, 2013.

From the streets of Chicago to far flung galaxies whirling through space, “Jupiter Ascending” was conceived and written by the Wachowskis, who are also directing. Award-winning producer Grant Hill, with whom the writer/directors have collaborated since “The Matrix” Trilogy, is producing the film together with the Wachowskis. Roberto Malerba and Bruce Berman are serving as executive producers.

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along – her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Channing Tatum (“Magic Mike”) and Mila Kunis (“Oz the Great and Powerful”) lead an international cast that also includes Sean Bean (“The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy), Eddie Redmayne (“Les Misérables”), Douglas Booth (“LOL”), Tuppence Middleton (TV’s “The Lady Vanishes”), Doona Bae (“Cloud Atlas”), James D’Arcy (“Hitchcock”) and Tim Pigott-Smith (“Alice in Wonderland”).

Behind the scenes, “Jupiter Ascending” reunites the Wachowskis with their longstanding collaborators, who most recently worked with them on “Cloud Atlas.” They include Oscar®-winning cinematographer John Toll (“Braveheart,” “Legends of the Fall”); production designer Hugh Bateup; editor Alexander Berner; costume designer Kym Barrett; and makeup and hair designer Jeremy Woodhead. “Jupiter Ascending” will showcase the kind of cutting-edge visual effects that have become the benchmarks of the Wachowskis’ films. Dan Glass (“Batman Begins,” “Cloud Atlas”) is the film’s visual effects supervisor, a post he has occupied for the Wachowskis since “The Matrix” Trilogy. Additionally, John Gaeta, the visual effects Oscar® winner behind “The Matrix,” is contributing to the visual effects design.

The production will remain in the UK at the studios through June, at which time filming will move to Chicago for completion.

“Jupiter Ascending” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures."
