Chastain Sees The Horizon

Jessica Chastain has been cast as one of the female leads opposite Tom Cruise in the sci-fi flick "Horizons" says Variety.


Based upon director Joseph 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

It's not yet known which of the two leads Chastain will play - the mysterious woman or Cruise's wife.

Olivia Wilde, Brit Marling Olga Kurylenko and Noomi Rapace were also rumoured candidates for the role  and the four are likely still in the running for the other role

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

Filming starts this Fall for July 19th, 2013 bow
