Oblivion
Tom Cruise headed to Iceland to shoot scenes set in the war-scarred future of his movie Oblivion. Iceland doubled for a post-apocalyptic American East Coast. The expansive wilderness environments fired the imagination of director Joseph Kosinski and his production team early in the planning process.

Oblivion
“There’s the black sand and great sense of desolation in Iceland,” says Supervising Location Manager Michael John Meehan: “There are places in the world where you can get little pockets like that, but nowhere else has Iceland’s vast expanses that sweep to the horizon in that particular colour palette.”
“The landscape looks like really no other place on Earth … there’s a beauty in the desolation there and that seemed to fit the aesthetic that I wanted for Oblivion,” - Joseph Kosinski
