Following on from the news that Morgan Freeman will co-star in Joseph Kosinski's upcoming Sci-fi flick we have another casting announcement. Joining Freeman, Tom Cruise, Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko is Game Of Thrones alum Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. According to Deadline..
Coster-Waldau will play Sykes, a battle-hardened, physically imposing, intelligent and extremely athletic military technology and weapons expert.
Oblivion is based on Kosisnski's graphic novel of the same name and focuses on the last man (Cruise) on a post-apocalyptic Earth, who stays behind to repair ships that hunt down and blast a virulent alien species. Michael Arndt is currently working on script re-writes that had earlier drafts by William Monahan and Karl Gajdusek. Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark are producing through Chernin Entertainment along with Barry Levine and Kosinski. You can see Coster-Waldau return as a slightly more humble Jaimie Lannister in season two of
Game Of Thrones in April.
