New Featurette for Oblivion Online

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Yahoo! Movies has unveiled a new featurette for the upcoming Tom Cruise film Oblivion.

In the video below, you can watch the filmmakers and stars talk about the plot to Oblivion and see some new clips from the film. Also starring Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Melissa Leo, the film envisions a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition. There, 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 hits regular theaters and IMAX on April 19.

Oblivion Director Compares It to Omega Man

Friday, December 14, 2012

The trailer for Joseph Kosinski's Oblivion debuted earlier this week and, recently, Kosinski spoke with MTV about the film and it will more than likely peek your interest.

"I started writing this small character-driven science fiction story that was in the vein of those science fiction films of the 1970s that involved this lone survivor among the ruins of civilization, like 'Mega Man' or 'Silent Running' — it was kind of in that vein. I thought if it was going to be my first movie it would have to be something very small and contained in order to even get a chance at pulling it off. So it's the story of a drill repair man, Jack Harper, who is one of the last human beings left on earth after a massive war, which was the result of an alien invasion. Even though humankind won the war, Earth was left in such a state that we had to look for another place to settle, and Jack is left behind to monitor and secure the resource gathering operation that's happening where we're gathering the last bit of energy out of the earth's seawater in order to move onto the next step." 

Mega Man?  We suspect he meant the Charlton Heston-starring Omega Man...
