Right now he’s shooting the sci-fi thriller Oblivion on the streets of New York with director Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy) and according to the IMDb he has two other flicks lined up in various stages of pre-production: All You Need Is Kill for Doug “Bourne IdentityLiman, in which he will play a soldier in a war with aliens who is forced to re-live his last day over and over in a loop – sort of like Alien-meets-Groundhog Day – as well as a long-awaited new version of the Van Helsing legend. And then of course there are also those rumours of a Top Gun 2 and yes, a Mission: Impossible 5.
