Joesph Kosinski's 'Oblivion' Testing Jessica Chastain, Olga Kurylenko, Brit Marling, Noomi Rapace And Olivia Wilde
Briefly: You can probably call this the constant lineup of actresses that will test or be wishlisted for a great many lead female roles over the next year. Variety reports that Joeseph Kosinski is testing Jessica Chastain, Olga Kurylenko, Brit Marling, Noomi Rapace and Olivia Wilde for the lead female role opposite Tom Cruise in his latest film. The movie has been called Oblivion, and at once point looked like it would be renamed Horizons. When it moved to Universal from Disney, Oblivion was the title in play once more, but it looks like they're going back to Horizons for the time being.
Regardless, the plot is the same:"In a future where the Earth's surface has been irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins. But when surface drone repairman Jak discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, it sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows." Karl Gajdusek's rewrote William Monahan's script, which in turn was based on the original story hatched by Joseph Kosinski and Arvid Nelson.
