First Tom Cruise OBLIVION Poster Debuts

(via IGN)

Here’s the first apocalyptic and expansive poster for Tom Cruise‘s upcoming film – OBLIVION – an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: LEGACY (Joseph Kosinski) and the producer of RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (Peter Chernin).

On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man’s confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind. Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete. Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

From Universal Pictures, OBLIVION will be released exclusively in IMAX on April 12, 2013, one week ahead of its wide release on April 19, 2013. The action-adventure marks director Joseph Kosinski’s second IMAX release following 2010′s TRON: LEGACY. Also starring Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Melissa Leo, you can catch the first trailer for the film this Sunday at Apple iTunes Movie Trailers.

Tom Cruise will continue on the sci-fi path in March 2014 with ALL YOU NEED IS A KILL. He plays a man named Bill Cage who has to fight a battle against an alien race. The twist: Bill keeps on dying and then being reborn to fight the same battle, kind of like a videogame character replaying the same level until he gets it right.
