Behind The Scenes of Oblivion, Tom Cruise Takes Olga Kurylenko For A Big SpinThe process of assembling the bubbleship looks like something you'd see in a fancy car commercial, with the white background and all those gleaming pieces, and the crew's delight at actually assembling the machine is evidence alone of just how much these kinds of movies usually rely on CGI. Seeing Cruise get giddy about the machine and climbing into the big rotating gimbal is no surprise...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-03-25 08:04:41comments
Listen To M83's First Track From The Oblivion ScoreM83's music has been used constantly in so many films, TV shows, commercials and trailers that you might have convinced yourself they only make music for the sake of backing up moving images.

Anthony Gonzalez-- has written the music, lending his ethereal, electronic-backed music to the sci-fi film from Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski. We've been dying to get a hint of what M83 had brought to the film...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-03-06 10:50:55comments

Tom Cruise Turns To Face The Camera In New Oblivion PostersLate last year I noticed a startling trend in the design of movie posters for films being released in 2013.

Tom Cruise Runs From An Unseen Threat In New Oblivion StillWe’re interested in Oblivion for a number of reasons. There are a string of post-apocalyptic movies on tap for this year, and they’ll mostly have mega-star-power.

M83 Scoring Joseph Kosinski's Science Fiction Film OblivionThe director claims that he was listening to M83 while writing the story for Oblivion and he hopes for something from the band, "that is both emotional, but at the same time can feel big and have a lot of space in it... very intimate but it also can feel just huge."
