Not only that, but we learned that Kosinski has made an unusual choice to compose the score for Oblivion.  For the TRON: Legacy score, Kosinski employed the French electronica duo Daft Punk in their first outing as composers for a motion picture.  This time, it'll be M83 providing musical accompaniment.  Another French electronica group, M83 snagged a huge Stateside hit with the single "Midnight City" from their sixth album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming.

The band's frontman, Anthony Gonzalez, told The Playlist, "I'm not afraid to do my first soundtrack on a big Hollywood movie, with a big budget and a lot of pressure...I like challenges and it excites me more than frightens me. I can't wait to hear my music played by amazing musicians, and an orchestra and brass and maybe choirs. It's a chance to create something big and I'm ready for it."

He teased the eventual score's sound, too, saying, "My vision is really to have a combination of very electronic moments, very M83, and sometimes merge into something more soundtrack-y, but my kind of soundtracks.

"I was listening to his music back in 2005 when I first wrote this story," Kosinski explained of the choice. "So he was part of this from the very beginning in my mind, kind of creatively. And about two years ago, when I started putting together a shortlist of people I'd love to talk to for this project, I sat down with him and we talked about it, and it was very clear he had a passion for film and I knew just from his electronic music that he had the potential to create something epic."

Back to the original point, though, there's now an official summation of the Oblivion story online.  Check it out right here:

Tom Cruise stars in Oblivion, an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man’s confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.

Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete.  Living and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

The screenplay is credited to Karl Gajdusek, along with The Departed writer William Monahan and Michael Arndt, who wrote Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3.

Tom Cruise is the big name in a cast that includes Olga Kurylenko, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Andrea Riseborough, and Melissa Leo.  You can see them all when Oblivion arrives in theaters nationwide on April 26, 2013.
