Untitled Tom Cruise project

You must be kidding. How can you write a WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE about an "Untitled Tom Cruise project"?! Now unless this is the real title, this article should be removed... you may perchance re-insert the article when it is actually released and noteworthy enough. Wikipedia ought to be an encyclopedia, not a promotion playground! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.166.234.186 (talk) 18:36, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Why ever not? Look at Yash Chopra's Untitled Project. There is nothing wrong with keeping the film untitled; what matters is its notability and that there is no WP:CRYSTAL. The film has begun shooting, has notable people working on it, a bug budget and big production house. Of course Wikipedia must have it.
Besides, the name Oblivion has been shown incorrect, so I shall move the page back to the original. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 10:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
Firstly, WP is not a site for stuff that is currently being worked on… movies can be scrapped even when completed for various reasons, so "has begun shooting" is irrelevant. Secondly, have you printed this out and eaten it? Because "the name has been shown incorrect" when it did end up being the actual name. --jae (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Jafeluv (talk) 00:02, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Untitled Tom Cruise project → Oblivion (2013 film) – The current article title is unrecognizable, ambiguous, and unlikely to be found when searched for. Multiple sources refer to the title as "Oblivion" including all of the most recent sources that the article links to. Simply put, the common name to the project is currently "Oblivion" and the current title for the article is unrecognizable. Jakk55 (talk) 00:02, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Comment Added: IMDB also refers to the project as "Oblivion". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1483013/ Jakk55 (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Support. It seems best to give this article a recognisable and informative title, if the title of the subject itself is now sufficiently certain. NoeticaTea? 01:13, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Support Certainly better than the current title. Canuck89 (have words with me) 01:31, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Comment A few days ago someone stated that Olivion was not the title of the film and moved it back to the current tile has something changed in the last few days.--174.93.169.157 (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Oppose The film's name is clearly not Oblivion or Horizons and that is as per official studio statements. There is no way this article should be moved to that. Besides, untitled film articles like Untitled Kathryn Bigelow Osama bin Laden Film also exist without similar requests for moves. illogical and highly incorrect move request. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:07, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
And it is to be reminded that WP:COMMONNAME is always superseded by the official announcements, so using that argument is also incorrect. I suggest a redirect, but that's about it. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Comment Can you please provide a source of the studio's official announcement stating that the film is untitled and not "Oblivion" or "Horizons"? Jakk55 (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
This is a report which states that "the name of the project and other details are being kept under wraps". The report is a February 3 report (or March 2, not sure). here Casting calls for the film have also not referred to the title as Oblivion or for that matter anything else. Casting calls are explicit and officially released by the producing studios. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 18:03, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
The Mercury News report fails to say that the name of the project is not "Oblivion" only that it is under wraps(perhaps it was under wraps and is now known), is older than many of the sources referring to the project as "Oblivion", is a local newspaper and not a film trade paper or magazine, and is definitely not issued by the studio, the only part that seems to quote the studio is that "It[Louisiana] is a wonderful place to make films." As for casting calls, the only sources I can find are blogs, or are sourced to blogs(nothing official by Universal), and again are older than more recent news that refers to the project as "Oblivion".Jakk55 (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Care to show me "recent" sources which explicitly state that the film's name is Oblivion? And blogs? You have a bad search engine. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 07:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
March 15th: http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/universal-moves-oblivion-up-to-april-26-2013-original-jurassic-park-in-3d-to-july-19-2013 Includes statement: "Universal has moved up the release of the Joseph Kosinski-directed Tom Cruise-starrer Oblivion to April 26, 2013." Sounds like Universal is referring to the project as "Oblivion" as well. March 23 http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/melissa-leo-joins-tom-cruise-pic-oblivion . March 26 http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=33497 .Jakk55 (talk) 07:27, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
I retract my opposition; I guess I was outdated. Even Universal Pictures' future releases section names it as Oblivion. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 08:05, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Support. Any title at all would be better than "Untitled Tom Cruise project". Even if "Oblivion" were only tentative or one of several possible names, it would still be better to go with that (and explain the issue in the article's content), than to give it an absurd placeholder name like "Untitled Tom Cruise project". If sources definitely call it oblivion now, it should be a pretty uncontroversial move. bobrayner (talk) 11:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Error

"Since the 3D re-release of Jurassic Park was set for a July 19, 2013 release date, the project was pushed back to April 19, 2013." Since when is April 2013 AFTER july 2013? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.110.244 (talk) 20:19, 25 August 2012 (UTC)


This article is a lame advertisement, nothing more. The plot is half empty, it sounds like a short ad in a newspaper. DBLOOD42 (talk) 08:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately no more detailed plot summary is available, so someone copypasted what's on the website. There is, of course, nothing stopping you from rewriting it to be more encyclopedic. Daniel Case (talk) 23:46, 11 December 2012 (UTC)


Need to update the box office numbers which show "million" as the opening. No real number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.96.153.187 (talk) 02:26, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Soundtrack-there's a deluxe edition

Homage or plagiarism

Why hasn't anybody wrote that the scene inside the tet is a cheap ripoff of the matrix ? That the way the actors play with those stone faces is a caricature of Tarkovski ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.247.112.198 (talk) 15:36, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
