Oblivion 2
“In Oblivion, the malevolent AI Tet takes the human form of Sally, the director of the NASA mission that Julia and the original Jack Harper were part of, to communicate with humans. With a villain known to have that ability and tendency, it opens the door for almost every actor from the first movie to join Tom Cruise in Oblivion 2, whether their characters survived or not.
That includes Sally, who was played by Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and the leader of the scavengers Malcolm Beech, who was played by Morgan Freeman (Se7en). This Andrea Riseborough (Birdman), who played one of the astronauts (as well as his clones), the skeptical Sykes played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau de Game of Thrones, y Zoe Bell (The Hateful Eight) as the scavenger Kara. There’s a lot of impressive talent there, including two Oscar winners (Leo and Freeman) and one nominee (Riseborough).
It should be noted that the first installment did not have a good score from the criticism. On Rotten Tomatoes it did not exceed 54%, while on FilmAffinity it only reached 5.8/10 and on IMDb, where it did best, it was only enough to touch 7/10. It’s one of the lowest-rated productions of Cruise’s and Freeman’s careers.
Tom Cruise has not referred to his connection to the alleged project and still no dates have been confirmed of realization.
