I can understand why the folks at Warner Bros. changed the name of Tom Cruise’s next action-sci-fi-epic EDGE OF TOMORROW from ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, but I still prefer the latter. The Cruiser and Emily Blunt star in the Doug Liman helmed flick which arrives everywhere next June.
The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.
But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
Take a look at two new stills from the film, and look out for more coverage here on THN leading up to the summer release. Looking forward to this one.
