Walt Disney Studios, you noticed I said "Studios" is in the lead (likely for Touchstone Pictures) for making Joseph Kosinski's "Oblivion" graphic novel a film...
That's the word from Deadline Hollywood, with the Mouse having an exclusive option that expires tonight. If it passes, the director of "Tron Legacy" has Paramount, Fox's Chernin Entertainment, and Universal Studios waiting to pick it up. Not bad for the first time director. Hopefully he has time to film this in between the sequel to "Tron Legacy," the remake of "The Black Hole" and "Archangels." Again, he's a busy man.
Nice to see someone in this economy with a job(s)...
UPDATE: Ain't It Cool News has published a preview of several pages of the graphic novel that gives you an idea as to what the director wants to adapt.
UPDATE 2: Walt Disney Studios has now secured the purchase of this project for a mid-figure sum (read: $400-$600,000).
