You may be unfamiliar with the name Edge of Tomorrow, as it has been going by the moniker “All You Need is Kill” until quite recently, but it is the same project entirely. Directed by Doug Liman of The Bourne Identity, Edge of Tomorrow follows officer Bill Cage (Cruise). Suited up in some advanced mecha gear, Cage is killed in alien combat and subsequently reanimated via a time rift to return to fight the same battle and die again…and again…and again.
Essentially Groundhog Day meets Terminator, Edge of Tomorrow stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton and Charlotte Riley. Personally, the concept works for me and I like this first look. Furthermore, Cruise and Blunt sound like a good combo especially with an intelligent director like Liman standing behind the project. Are you excited to see more of this?
Edge of Tomorrow is directed by Doug Liman andstars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton and Charlotte Riley. It hits theaters next summer, June 6, 2014.
