With Oblivion hitting Irish cinemas tomorrow, and Tom Cruise having rocked up to these here Irish shores this day last week, we've been going a little Oblivion mad to say the least. We promised you full length interviews with the director, Joseph Kosinski - a really interesting and very personable guy - and the absolutely stunning former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko who stars here as Tom Cruise's leading lady, so here they are.
They were both an absolute pleasure to sit down with, both passionate about their craft and proud of their work to date. This marks Koskinski's second feature film, the first being Tron Legacy featuring our very own Cillian Murphy in a small yet significant role. So after just one movie, to come out now with Oblivion that features both Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman (two of Hollywood's biggest names), it seems Kosinski is on a fast track to major directorial heights. He feels spoiled to have worked with Tom so early in his career as a director but we've no doubt that he's got many great things ahead of him.
And as for Olga, it's almost annoying that someone that beautiful can be that nice at the same time. Some people just get it all, eh? She's a sweetheart and a dab hand with the action roles. You'll notice that I chose to edit myself out of the interview. In fairness, who wants to appear in the same video as a Bond girl?
Oblivion hits Irish cinemas tomorrow, April 10th. Be sure to check it out!
