‘Oblivion’ Movie Poster

Oblivion movie poster

Here’s the movie poster for Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming “Oblivion.”  I like the whole post-apocalyptic vibe, though what I assume to be a spacecraft in the lower right side of the poster looks way too over-designed.

Then again, that could be because I am accustomed to space craft that look like he USS Cygnus from Disney’s 1979 film, “The Black Hole.”

It’s interesting, and entirely a coincidence, that Kosinski also happens to linked to a remake of “The Black Hole,” so whatever he does I hope he in some way keeps the design of the Cygnus, despite the extremely high likelihood that it will be done in CGI, as opposed to practically, as the original ship was.

Peter Ellinshaw’s original design for the craft was even for a time displayed in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York.

Looking at it, it’s easy to see why.

Thanks to Superherohype for the heads up.
