Oblivion, teaming Tom Cruise with the director of Tron: Legacy, is looking more and more like one of the big sci-fi releases of 2013, and now there's a poster giving us some sense of the movie's epic scale.
IGN has premiered the new poster for the film, in which Cruise plays a repairman stationed on a post-apocalyptic Earth that has been ravaged by an alien race. As you can see from the poster below, the ETs have done quite a job on the place, judging by the way New York City looks.
The movie is being directed by Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Tron: Legacy and the creator of the graphic novel on which Oblivion is based. Starring alongside Cruise are Morgan Freeman (The Dark Knight Rises), Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) and others.
