The film has gone by the titles "Oblivion" and "Horizon," but currently there is no officially title for the film
In September it was announced that Jessica Chastain (
The Debt) would be the female lead opposite Tom Cruise, but her schedule has become quite busy after having a breakout year. She has been nominated for several awards during this season, and it's put her in high demand. Well not to worry because lots of high-profile actresses have been auditioning their fannies off just to be apart of this film.
Variety's Jeff Sneider and Justin Kroll are reporting that both Olga Kurylenko, and Andrea Riseborough have landed the two female leads in the film. Olga is best known for her role as the sizzingly sexy Bond girl in Daniel Craig's second 007 film,
Quantum of Solace.
According to
Variety she auditioned for the same role as Chastain. Competing against Olivia Wilde and Noomi Rapace. Once Chastain had a hold on the role Olga was on the outs. When auditions started back up again in November after Chastain's departure Olga wasn't included in that process.
So how did she land the part? A inside source informs
Variety, "Cruise had liked her from the original test, and though she didn't test again in November, she was still in consideration."
As for Andrea Riseborough, she is a bit of surprise. She hasn't been included on anyone's list. Nobody knew she was testing for the film. She is best known for playing Wallis Simpson in
W.E., directed by Madonna.
