Disney has picked up Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski‘s next project, Oblivion, which tells of “a future Earth, where civilization lives above the clouds and scavengers collect ancient artifacts from the polluted surface below. When one young scavenger finds a crashed spacecraft planetside, it lead him on a journey filled with romance and adventure.” [THR]
Kosinski has found producers in Radical Comics, with Barry Levine and Jesse Berger credited as such. The comics company has published the graphic novel of the same name, which has Kosinski credited as “creator” and Arvid Nelson and Andree Wallin credited as writer and artist, respectively.
Below is some of the artwork [First Showing]:
It looks and sounds like an improved version of Battlefield Earth. Kosinski seems up to the task, but then nobody has seen the final version of Tron Legacy yet, so only time will tell.
Are you excited to see Tron? Oblivion? Have you read the graphic novel?
