Universal Pictures has unveiled the first poster for Joseph Kosinski‘s Oblivion. In the film, Tom Cruise plays a drone repairman stationed on a future Earth which has since transformed into a desolate planet. When a pod carrying a mysterious woman crash lands near one of his work sites, the encounter causes Cruise’s character to question everything he knows about the world around him.

Check out the poster for the film here below.

Looking at the poster for Oblivion we can see that Earth is clearly not what it once was. We don’t know how Earth got to this point, but it looks like a lot of things have changed as there are towering waterfalls that share the skies with skyscrapers that now act as relics.

Joseph Kosinski knows how to pick his composers. When Kosinski made his directorial debut with Tron: Legacy, he brought in the electronica duo Daft Punk to add the musical spark of life to the film. In fact it was Daft Punk’s music that was the most memorial parts of the movie.

Now Kosinski is setting up for his next feature, Oblivion. Filming has already begun with Tom Cruise taking the lead as a repairman who starts to question everything he knows when he comes across a mysterious pod with a live woman inside of it.

Not only do we have an updated synopsis of the film you can read below, but we now know that M83 will be conducting the score for the film.

TRON Legacy is a film that, for many of us, was a generation in waiting. Many of us who were children of the Eighties were floored with the richness and uniqueness of the original TRON film, sadly now quite dated (visually, though the story still stands up), as it was a statement of the budding tech generation we were becoming a part of. For decades, we waited for the potential of a sequel, and some of us lost all hope.

Then in 2008, something exciting happened at San Diego Comic-Con. Disney previewed new “test” footage in a trailer that was somewhat of a “proof-of-concept”. Then called TR2N, the sequel news set the internet on fire – as countless fans of the original movie enjoyed the fever of the news that another chapter was coming out. I’m sure even Tron Guy was amused.

Apparently the world does really love themselves some Game of Thrones.

Deadline reports that another one of the stars from the hit HBO show, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, has joined the cast of the upcoming Tom Cruise-starring and Joseph Kosinski-directed sci-fi thriller, Oblivion.

Oscar-winning acting legend (and go-to man for stentorian narration) Morgan Freeman has signed on to join the cast of Universal Pictures’ Oblivion, the upcoming epic sci-fi adventure from Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski.

The film, based on a comic book series created by Kosinski for Radical Publishing, takes place in a future where the surface of Earth has become too irradiated and infested by hostile aliens known as Scavengers to be inhabited by humans. Thus the remnants of mankind have taken to living in the clouds. But when a surface drone repairman named Jak discovers a mysterious woman in a crashed pod he is forced to question everything he has ever known.
