In addition, the tape "The Ascension of Jupiter" became a kind of ode to the space opera, which the cinematographer does not often delight the viewer with. At the same time, the film became the first 3D film for the brother and sister in their career. Other no less famous actresses claimed the main role played by Mila Kunis in "Jupiter Ascending". Among them is Natalie Portman, who was the first until Rooney Mara replaced her, and as a result, the role went to Miley Kunis. As for male characters, one, unknown, could be played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Part of the material was filmed in England, in particular in London. This was managed by the studio Warner Bros. The shooting began on April 2, 2013. At the same time, most of the work was carried out on the territory of the USA, for example in Chicago, as well as in Spain (Bilbao). To work on the effects, Dan Glass was invited, who developed his designs and styles for the film, among which the Gothic style prevails. As for the reality in the frame, the directors tried to maximize the stunt work, to the detriment of the computer graphics, which are already enough in "Jupiter's Ascension".
