“Jupiter Ascending” feels like it’s going to be one of the most outrageous, will-it-succeed-or-won’t-it films of 2014. The premise is crazy–a young human woman living in a world in which humans are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder is targeted for assassination by the Queen of the Universe because the woman’s existence could mean the end of the Queen’s reign. The film comes from the futuristic minds of the Wachowski siblings, so it’s not like the film won’t find a fanbase. But will it actually be good, or will it just be weird?

This new image from the film doesn’t really provide the answer, but it does show that the film will, at the very least, be something to talk about for months. Entertainment Weekly posted the image from the film, which features Channing Tatum as a half-albino, half-wolf genetic creation. The warrior also has some kind of crazy light show on his arm. I don’t know what any of this means.

Take a look at the image below. What does the image make you think about the film? Are you going to check it out when it comes to theaters July 18? Give your opinions below in the comments section.
