Excited to see Tom Cruise return to spectacle science fiction cinema in “Oblivion”? So are we.

The Hero Complex screening series is going bicoastal with our latest event, a sneak preview of the star’s new film “Oblivion,” which will take place at New York City’s AMC Loews 34th Street on April 15. An interactive, live Q&A with Cruise and director Joseph Kosinski (“Tron: Legacy”) will follow the screening at 8 p.m.

The post-screening Q&A, moderated by Hero Complex contributor Rebecca Keegan, will be simulcast via satellite to nine IMAX theaters in Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego and Virginia Beach, Va. The discussion will also stream live on Hero Complex and at facebook.com/IMAX.

Audiences in all 10 cities as well as online viewers will be able to submit potential questions real time via Twitter by tweeting queries for Cruise and Kosinski at #Oblivion#(city name).

Tickets and additional details will be available beginning at noon ET on April 3 at www.OblivionHero.com.

Admission to the New York event is free and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Based on a 2010 graphic novel Kosinski penned with comic book writer Arvid Nelson, “Oblivion” takes place on a future Earth left decimated by an alien invasion. Former Marine Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of a few people left on the planet to mop up after the war.

The movie, written by William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek and Michael Arndt, also stars Morgan Freeman as a 102-year-old insurgency leader, Melissa Leo as Jack’s authoritarian boss and Olga Kurylenko as a mysterious woman who stirs Jack’s memories.

In an interview earlier this spring, Kosinski told Keegan that by shooting “Oblivion” in Iceland in June — when there is near-continuous daylight and the warm, waning light known as magic hour lasts from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. — he sought to take his imagery into a bold and revolutionary place for sci-fi: the sunshine.

“My idea with this movie was bringing sci-fi out into the daylight,” Kosinski said, drawing a contrast to Ridley Scott’s seminal 1979 sci-fi film, “Alien.” “’Alien’ put sci-fi into the darkness — in the hulls of ships, dark planets, always seeming to be night. I was interested in inverting that, shooting a daylight film.”

There was an interesting point in the io9 article where the director speaks about the benefits of moving the project away from Disney in that he was more free some areas to do what he wants as some bits of tone and sensuality in the film would not have fit with the Disney brand.


I really hope this movie is good. The test screening responses were a little odd.
 
Whatever the ending might be, I hope it isn't a very conventional hollywood-esque ending.
 
The fact that it isn't may be why people had such a hard time grappling with it.
 
I just hope it's not one of those endings that ruins the movie for me. And by that I mean something profoundly stupid that makes me feel like I just wasted my time. The best example I can think of off the top of my head was the end of Repo Men. The movie wasn't that great anyway, but it was solid enough until the last 10 minutes or so. At that point it just became garbage.

First one that comes to mind for me is Remember Me. Not a great movie but also not awful but wow that ending just destroys the film. Its pathetic and cheap and just awful
 
Just realised Australia gets this a week earlier than the Yanks! Woo hoo!
 
I haven't watched anything bar the first trailer, so I'm giddy like a mofo. One more week.

^too much footage?

I don't think it's that. I've only seen the trailers. I haven't been motivated to watch the tv spots or the featurettes because I haven't been excited enough to.

Maybe it'll pass... But I'm still watching this movie, so it really means nothing.
 
I'm the other way around, my excitement has only gone up with time. :)
 
I've been watching the b-roll footage. Man, that stuff looks as beautiful as the finished product. Just the amount of stuff that was done and lit in camera for a film like this is staggering. Top it off with the score, and it has a very surreal feel to it. So excited for this in two weeks.
 
Yeah here's the B-Roll footage for anyone wanting to know

 
locations look fantastic. i hope the guy who found them got a big paycheck.
 
Found this on tumblr, not sure if it's official.
