Universal Pictures have released a slick new featurette for Joseph Kosinski’s Oblivion. Starring Tom Cruise , Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman, Mellissa Leo & Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, the movie is based on Kosinski’s own Radical Publishing comic book series. In 2073, a former-Marine Commander Jack Harper [Cruise] is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed at Earth which was nearly destroyed by an alien invasion 60 years ago. As part of a massive operation to extract the planet’s remaining vital resources, he lives in an airborne “town” floating thousands of meters above the Earth. His mission nearly complete, Jack’s soaring existence comes crashing down when he rescues a female stranger [Kurylenko] from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a series of events that forces Jack to question everything he knows about the war and its aftermath. Oblivion hits theatres this April 10th in the UK & April 12th in the US. Hit the jump for the details. The featurette is pretty cool & features some neat behind the scenes footage on location in Iceland.
