Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has joined the cast of Universal Pictures' sci-fi action film "Oblivion," starring Tom Cruise.
According to Deadline.com, production is expected to begin in March.
Andrea Riseborough, Olga Kurylenko and Morgan Freeman have also been cast.
Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy") is directing with a release date set for July 19, 2013.
The film had been set up at Disney which ended up passing on the project due to the fact that the film would be PG-13 and Disney wanted a PG film.
William Monahan wrote the original script with Karl Gajdusek and Michael Arndt having done rewrites.
The film is based on an idea by Kosinski that ended up being a graphic novel written by Barry Levine.
Kosinski and Levine are producing along with Chernin Entertainment's Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark.
The story is set in an apocalyptic future where most of the population lives in clouds above an uninhabitable earth. An earthbound soldier (Cruise), who fixes drones that destroy a hostile alien life form, encounters a beautiful woman whose ship crashes.
Coster-Waldau is best known for his role as Jamie Lannister on HBO's "Game of Thrones."
