Disney wants to keep Joseph Kosinski working.

With only a couple of months until "Tron: Legacy" lands in theaters, it was announced Thursday that Disney has acquired the rights to produce the film adaptation of "Oblivion," the illustrated novel created by Kosinski.

"Joe is one of the most creative forces in filmmaking today," said Barry Levine, president of Radical Publishing, in a release. "From the moment he teamed with Radical to produce the book and film, he had such a clear vision of the Oblivion landscape and universe. Add to that Joe's successful partnership with Disney on 'Tron: Legacy,' and you have all the ingredients for a phenomenal action/adventure film."

"Oblivion" is a 128-page illustrated novel about a dystopian Earth. In a future where the planet's surface is irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins.

The story revolves around Jak, a surface drone repairman who discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod. His discovery sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows and believes.

The novel version of "Oblivion" is set to be released in Summer 2011 and will feature prose, combined with lush, fully painted landscape paintings. It will be distributed around the world by Random House.

This project has Radical Publishing even more busy than ever with film versions of its projects. Former Spider-man franchise director Sam Raimi has signed on to do the big screen version of "Earp: Saints For Sinners," also based on a Radical product.
