In JUPITER ASCENDING, Mila Kunis portrays her character as someone who is unhappy with her job and life. But she is reluctant to make any changes until Caine Wise finds her.

Interestingly, the Ukrainian actress was not the first choice to play Jupiter Jones. Initially, Natalie Portman was the top choice for this film, before being replaced by Mila Kunis, who also acted with her in BLACK SWAN.

3. Channing Tatum's Physical Transformation

Who doesn't know Channing Tatum? He has played various characters as proof of his excellent acting skills. Plus, with his muscular physique, it's no wonder that the 40-year-old actor is the top choice to star in JUPITER ASCENDING.

Interestingly, in the film released in 2015, Channing had to make some changes to his face. He had to wear a funnel to alter the shape of his lower jaw. Unfortunately, this method made it difficult for him to close his mouth, even when he had to speak. In addition, the star of DEAR JOHN also used prosthetic pointed ears, most of which he still keeps as mementos.

4. The Combination of Advanced Technology and Cast's Commitment

To create the scenes in JUPITER ASCENDING, the crew used 6 cameras called Panocam, which were mounted on helicopters. This allowed them to capture action from angles up to 180 degrees, including helicopter flight paths, more easily and accurately.

Furthermore, the chase scenes in Chicago in the film are said to be the longest and most difficult. Given the code name Fifty-Two Part by the film crew, Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum had to shoot every day for six months to perform the most challenging stunts, with the help of several stunt doubles.

5. Achieve Several Awards Nominations

The film, which also stars Eddie Redmayne, received a rating of 5.3 out of 10 on IMDB and a score of 27 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
