He’s only just really gotten going on Tron: Legacy but director Joseph Kosinski is already lining up his next gig. THR says he’s 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). It’s about a damaged, veteran soldier court-martialed and exiled to patrol duty on a bleak desolate planet where he’s tasked with destroying the last remnants of an alien race. At some point a mysterious traveler arrives and the two are linked “as they are forced to question everything they know about this world and themselves.” I have no idea what most of that mean, but it sounds exciting.
