Cinema Blend News —
Tron: Legacy's Kosinski Headed For Oblivion Hes only just really gotten going on Tron: Legacy but director Joseph Kosinski is already lining up his next gig. THR says hes developing something called Oblivion , a sci-fi/action movie based on an idea from Kosinski which is also being turned into an illustrated book. The idea sounds ambitious, like a cross between Pitch Black and Outlander (a Jim Caviezel movie which no one but me saw). Its about a damaged, veteran soldier court-martialed and exiled to patrol duty on a bleak desolate planet where hes tasked with ...

... Kosinski tells The Hollywood Reporter. "It's grown since then, but it's intended to be a very spare science fiction film, with a small cast but big ideas and big landscapes."

Sounds like a pretty awesome concept. The book sounds equally as cool — 125-130-page 11×14-sized hardcover featuring painted art, some of which will span 2 pages (ala 300?). Right now Kosinski has a 25-page treatment, which will be fleshed out by one or two writers for the graphic novel, which is due out in 2010. A screenwriter will then be brought on board to help adapt it for the screen.

Kosinski is starting work on a year of post-production on Tron Legacy, which is slated for release in late 2010.

Either way, I hope he does eventually make this, even if it's in 10 years. ...
