The search has long been ongoing for a pair of leading ladies to appear alongside Tom Cruise in the latest sci-fi project from TRON: Legacy helmer Joseph Kosinski. While the flick is based on Kosinski and Arvid Nelson’s upcoming comic book series, Oblivion, it has yet to settle on an official title. Universal briefly flirted with an alternative name, Horizons, but for now, the studio has merely settled on “untitled” instead.
Increasingly-popular actresses like Jessica Chastain (The Help) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America) were among the starlets being eyed for the two female lead roles in Cruise’ new venture into the realm of sci-fi/action. However, the parts have instead gone to another actress who was also previously said to be a contender – and an actress who wasn’t officially connected to the the project prior to now.
