Joseph Kosinski, director of the upcoming Tron: Legacy, is slated to tackle Oblivion for producer David Fincher.
Created from an original story first conceived years ago, Kosinski will also oversee the creation of an "illustrated novel," which will offered up 40 beautifully drawn landscapes along with the narrative.
The Hollywood Reporter describes the film as the story of a "battle-damaged soldier who, assigned to a desolate planet after a court-martial, patrols the bleak landscape in an effort to destroy the last vestiges of a primitive alien race. When a mysterious traveler arrives unexpectedly, their lives become inextricably linked as they are forced to question everything they know about this world and themselves."
"I was looking to make a science fiction film that I could do on a budget," Kosinski said of the initial concept.
"It's grown since then, but it's intended to be a very spare science fiction film, with a small cast but big ideas and big landscapes."
