Disney's Oblivion becomes Horizons and lands writer Karl Gajdusek
We reported in October that Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan (The Departed) came on board to write the screenplay, which is based on the Radical Publishing graphic novel Oblivion. Now Karl Gajdusek is taking over the writing duties for the project, which centers on a soldier guarding a lifeless planet, who eventually encounters a mysterious traveler.
Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is attached to direct. Radical Pictures, the movie arm of Radical Publishing, is teaming up with Disney for the project. Joseph Kosinski, Barry Levine, and Jeffrey Silver will produce.
No production schedule was given for Horizons, although it is said this is a high priority for Disney.
Oblivion comes to theaters July 19th, 2013 and stars Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Melissa Leo. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski.

Good director, Great writer. I just hope Disney shells a buncho money into this monster and make it an epic! Only prob is, if its a success they'll try and ruin it with a sequel.

I was extremely interested until I read " Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski is attached to direct." epic pass!!!!! unless a new director is brought on board. He is a terrible director. why are they giving him these big properties?
