DHD reports Disney has closed a deal to acquire Oblivion, the Radical Publishing graphic novel that will be turned into a directing vehicle for Tron:Legacy helmer Joseph Kosinski. Kosinski thought up the concept three years ago before he began Tron:Legacy. His reps decided that turning it into a graphic novel would set the table for a movie deal once Kosinski was finished with Tron.
Oblivion is a futuristic science fiction love story that takes place in an apocalyptic future where most of the population lives in clouds above an earth surface which has been rendered for the most part uninhabitable. An earthbound soldier–stuck there repairing drones that patrol and blast a savage alien life form–encounters a beautiful woman who crashed in a craft and they have an experience that forces him to question his world view.
Radical plans to release Oblivion this fall.
