Cruise Sees The Horizon Line

Tom Cruise has inked a deal for the lead role in director Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi film Horizons  reports Deadline.



Based upon Kosinski's own graphic novel Oblivion which he created for Radical Comics the action is set in an apocalyptic future where most people live high in the sky due to Earth's surface being uninhabitable, a soldier stuck on the ground goes about his job repairing hunter drones which seek out and destroy members of a savage alien race. He soon comes upon a beautiful woman whose craft has crashed nearby and together they set out on an epic adventure.

Cruise has had Horizons in his sights for a while.

Karl Gajdusek (Trespass) was hired to rewrite William Monahan‘s (The Departed) adapted script for the film that will be produced by Kosinski, Barry Levine Alwin H. Kuchler and Jeffrey Silver

Shooting kicks off in October.
