More news on TRON Legacy's director, Joseph Kosinski. Hot off the presses:

Radical Publishing is proud to announce that Disney has acquired the film adaptation of OBLIVION, based on Radical Publishing’s illustrated novel created by Tron: Legacy director, Joseph Kosinski, written by Rex Mundi creator, Arvid Nelson, and with illustrations by Andrée Wallin. OBLIVION will be directed by Joseph Kosinki and will be produced by Radical’s President and Publisher, Barry Levine, and Kosinski. Radical Studios’ Executive Vice President Jesse Berger is signed on as Executive Producer. Kosinki is repped by Verve and Anonymous Content while Radical is repped by CAA and David Schiff.

In a future where the Earth’s surface has been irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins. But when surface drone repairman Jak discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, it sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Joe Kosinski on OBLIVION,” said Barry Levine, president of Radical Pictures.  “Joe is one of the most creative forces in filmmaking today.  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, the 128-page illustrated novel, will be released in Summer 2011 and will feature prose, combined with over 40 fully painted landscape renderings. OBLIVION will be distributed worldwide through Random House.

Meta video for today: Video of the iPhone 4 launch shot and edited ON the iPhone 4 with iMovie for the iPhone. That sentence appears to be crafted by the Microsoft branding team (Windows Phone Series 7 Windows Phone 7 Phone).

Ahhh...spring (early summer) when the new iPhones begin their migration from Shenzen, China to your local FedEx warehouse where they sit until a secret signal tells them it's time to be delivered.

If you were one of the lucky ones that managed to get through the wall of pain AT&T put up last week you may have received a shipment notification around midnight PST last night that your phone is on the way.

Let the obsessive status checks begin!

Although SquareSpace, the website hosting company we use for GeekFilter doesn't yet have an iPad app, the iPhone app in 2x mode seems to work just fine...though where you place the photos seems to be up to the app. More on first though on the iPad later and in a few weeks we'll be road testing the iPad to see if it can be a good substitute for a laptop with some average tasks you may need to complete on a road trip.
