The debut one-sheet for Oblivion just dissipated online, with IGN being the first to lay hands on, a sci-fi movie starring Tom Cruise (Minority Report) from TRON: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski. The movie is based on a graphic novel which Kosinski himself co-created with "Rex Mundi" writer Arvid Nelson. William Monahan (The Departed), Karl Gajdusek (Trespass) and Michael Arndt (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) are all writing the screenplay for the movie. It also stars Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Melissa Leo.
A trailer is cooking and will be released this Sunday in iTunes Trailers, but we are likely to post it here so check back. Meanwhile, here's the official plot synopsis for the movie:
"Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man’s confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.
Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete.
Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.
Oblivion was shot in stunning digital 4K resolution on location across the United States and Iceland."
The movie is going to be released exclusively in IMAX, April 12, until it goes for a wide release in April 19, 2013. This follows up Cruise's crime-thriller flick Jack Reacher opening on theaters December 21st this year.
Here's the poster (which frankly looks like a cross-breed of The Raid and the recent Star Trek Into Darkness poster).
