Deadline is reporting that the search for the second female lead in the upcoming sci-fi film from director Joseph Kasinski,
Oblivion (based on a graphic novel conceived by Kasinski himself), has narrowed down to three actresses - Hayley Atwell (
Captain America: The First Avenger), Kate Beckinsale (
Underworld), and Diane Kruger (
National Treasure), who are all reading for the part with lead star . The second female character will be
"a beautiful woman who crashes in a craft," and her experience with Cruise's character together forces him to question his world view.
Captain America‘s Hayley Atwell, Inglourious Basterds’ Diane Kruger, and Kate Beckinsale have made it to the lightning round to play a mysterious young woman who crash-lands on earth much to the shock of Cruise’s character, a soldier who is one of the last men on the planet in a post-apocalyptic future where most of the population lives in clouds above an earth surface that has been rendered uninhabitable. Cruise’s character is alone as he repairs the drones that patrol and destroy a savage alien life form, until he encounters a beautiful woman who crashes in a craft, and their experience together forces him to question his world view.
Which of these actresses do you want to see get the role?
Starring Tom Cruise and Jessica Chastain,
Oblivion hits theaters July 19th, 2013.
