LOS ANGELES: It seems as though nothing can come between the Wachowskis.

When the filmmaker siblings are asked what incites the biggest spats between the duo best known for writing and directing “The Matrix” trilogy, Andy and Lana Wachowski provide a non-verbal response: The brother and sister sweetly clasp each other’s hands and tap their contrasting noggins — Lana’s fuchsia-hued dreadlocks, Andy’s wrapped-up bald head — together.

“It’s all just love,” said Lana. “Is that too good to be believed?“

The Wachowskis are equally unflappable when it comes to criticisms of their recent work. They’re undaunted by the weak box office for their 2012 time-jumping drama “Cloud Atlas” and their hyper 2008 cartoon adaptation “Speed Racer,” and they’re impervious to the torrent of pessimism swirling around their forthcoming space opera “Jupiter Ascending,” out Friday.

“I’ve gotten a thicker skin when it comes to Internet searches on our art,” said Andy matter-of-factly during a recent interview.

“Jupiter Ascending” centers on a toilet-scrubbing earthling (played by Mila Kunis) and her gravity-defying alien bodyguard (Channing Tatum). The pair becomes caught up in an epic case of intergalactic sibling rivalry, with Eddie Redmayne, Tuppence Middleton and Douglas Boothand portraying a royal space dynasty with nasty plans for humanity.

“I like things that are different,” said Kunis, who plays titular character, Jupiter Jones. “You have to do things because you want to do them, not because someone else wants you to. If it fails, it doesn’t matter. I did it because I wanted to work with the Wachowskis. If it doesn’t do well, at the end of the day, I still got to work with great people, and I learned a lot.”

The delay of “Jupiter Ascending” from a July to February release, as well as a surprise screening at Sundance where some audience members reportedly walked out, has raised questions whether the film will become a $175 million black hole for distributor Warner Bros. Lana likened the reshuffling of “Jupiter Ascending” to the studio’s shifting of “Gravity” in 2013.
