Question: Who wrote and directed the epic space film in which Jupiter Ascending has been described as a cross between?

 It is the first film in the original "Star Wars" trilogy, the first "Star Wars" movie in general, and the beginning of the "Star Wars" franchise. Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope) is a 1977 American epic space opera film written and directed by George Lucas.  Starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, David Prowse, James Earl Jones, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, and Peter Mayhew, the film's plot focuses on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia (Fisher), and its attempt to destroy the Galactic Empire's space station, the Death Star.  This conflict disrupts the isolated life of farmhand Luke Skywalker (Hamill), who inadvertently acquires a pair of droids that possess stolen architectural plans for the Death Star.  When the Empire begins a destructive search for the missing droids, Skywalker accompanies Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Guinness) on a mission to return the plans to the Rebel Alliance and rescue Leia from her imprisonment by the Empire. <SEP> Jupiter Ascending is a 2015 space opera film written, produced, and directed by The Wachowskis.  Starring Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, Sean Bean, and Eddie Redmayne, the film is centered on Jupiter Jones (Kunis), an ordinary cleaning woman, and Caine Wise (Tatum), an interplanetary warrior who informs Jones that her destiny extends beyond Earth.  Supporting cast member Douglas Booth has described the film's fictional universe as a cross between "The Matrix" and "Star Wars", while Kunis identified indulgence and consumerism as its underlying themes. <SEP> Tik Tik Tik is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language science fiction space thriller film written and directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan.  The film has been promoted as India's first space film.  The film features Jayam Ravi, Aaron Aziz and Nivetha Pethuraj in the lead roles.  The venture began production in October 2016.  The teaser was released on August 15, 2017. <SEP> The jumping-Jupiter scenario specifies an evolution of giant-planet migration described by the Nice model, in which an ice giant (Uranus, Neptune, or an additional Neptune-mass planet) is scattered inward by Saturn and outward by Jupiter, causing the step-wise separation of their orbits.  The jumping-Jupiter scenario was proposed by Ramon Brasser, Alessandro Morbidelli, Rodney Gomes, Kleomenis Tsiganis, and Harold Levison after their studies revealed that the smooth divergent migration of Jupiter and Saturn resulted in an inner Solar System significantly different from the current Solar System.  The sweeping of secular resonances through the inner Solar System during the migration excited the eccentricities of the terrestrial planets beyond current values and left an asteroid belt with an excessive ratio of high- to low-inclination objects.  The step-wise separation of Jupiter and Saturn described in the jumping-Jupiter scenario can allow these resonances to quickly cross the inner Solar System without altering orbits excessively, although the terrestrial planets remain sensitive to its passage.  The jumping-Jupiter scenario also results in a number of other differences with the original Nice model.  The fraction of lunar impactors from the core of the asteroid belt during the Late Heavy Bombardment is significantly reduced, most of the Jupiter trojans are captured during Jupiter's encounters with the ice giant, as are Jupiter's irregular satellites.  In the jumping-Jupiter scenario, the likelihood of preserving four giant planets on orbits resembling their current ones appears to increase if the early Solar System originally contained an additional ice giant, which was later ejected by Jupiter into interstellar space.  However, this remains an atypical result, as is the preservation of the current orbits of the terrestrial planets.
