Director Joseph Kosinski has never been one to employ traditional soundtracks on his films. His 2010 debut Tron: Legacy was scored by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk and their efforts were received so well that even those who disliked the movie couldn’t help but love the soundtrack, which sold over half a million copies after almost a year in release.

For the soundtrack to his latest film, the futuristic sci-adventure Oblivion starring Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, Kosinski has retained the services of another French electronica outfit gaining in popularity across the globe, the quintet M83. Their original score for Oblivion is now available for sale on MP3 for only $5.

Listen to two selections from the album – “StarWaves” and the title track “Oblivion” featuring Norwegian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør – here below.

That small Black Hole tease that was seen in Tron Legacy was much more than just a tease, it was an announcement that Disney was going to remake the 1979 classic. Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski would take the remake of The Black Hole using a script written by Travis Beachman. At Oblivion‘s most recent press conference, Kosinski told interviewers that the remake was on. Hours later, THR confirmed that Prometheus scribe Jon Spaihts has been hired to rewrite the draft written by Beacham.

The report doesn’t mention much about the story itself other than that it is going to be rewritten, but we can get a sense of what we might see in it given that Spaihts wrote the script for Prometheus, and who knows how the new film would have ended up if there were no rewrites to it.

Joseph Kosinski‘s Oblivion is no ordinary small sci-fi film. In fact it is so big that it could fit an IMAX screen. While Oblivion has been making its marketing campaign run over at SXSW and WonderCon, the film will be making a big debut over at the LA Times’ Hero Complex Film Festival. The film will be presented in its IMAX format and Kosinski and film star Tom Cruise will be there to attend a very exclusive Q&A after the event. Hit the jump for more info.

The interactive Q&A will be moderated by Times film writer Rebecca Keegan at New York City’s AMC Loews 34th Street 14 on Monday, April 15, at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Despite what Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) may know about what happened to the Earth 60 years ago, nothing could have prepared him for the truth – not even a long-lost lover (Olga Kurylenko) who literally fell from the sky. The new trailer for Joseph Kosinski‘s Oblivion has arrived and it gives us a better picture of what Harper is fighting for and who he is up against. Morgan Freeman plays a freedom fighter who has all the answers that Harper is looking for. But who can Harper believe?

Check out the trailer here below to find out.

The trailer does create a splendid looking post-apocalyptic Earth, and the sci-fi machinery looks to be very polished and very real. This gives me a lot of hope that Kosinski’s second directorial effort will be much better than his first, especially since Kosinski, Karl Gajdusek, and Michael Arndt have adapted the screenplay from a comic that Kosinski created.

We just saw a new poster for the upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi movie Oblivion, and now comes the full theatrical trailer for the movie.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy), Oblivion follows a man (Cruise) who works finding and fixing downed drones on a future Earth, which is now devoid of all human life after everyone was evacuated following a massive war that destroyed much of the planet.
