Cutting Room: Joseph Kosinski talks to Archinect about his transition from architecture to Hollywood

As we've seen throughout our Cutting Room series, there's a clear relationship between architecture and filmmaking. Architecture is inspired by film as often as film is inspired by architecture, so it's not uncommon for architects to experiment with film, or even transition into a film career. Joseph Kosinski is one such individual, but his path to filmmaking is a little different than normal. His full-length directorial debut was for 2010's TRON: Legacy, a blockbuster sequel to the early 80's classic. Three years later, he followed that with the visually stunning Oblivion, starring Tom Cruise.
