Live. Die. Repeat?
When it was released in 2014, director Doug Liman‘s sci-fi film Edge of Tomorrow didn’t exactly light up the box office, earning $370m worldwide on a $178m production budget. Regardless, sequel talks began shortly thereafter, with Liman and stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt all on board. The team had just been waiting for all the stars to align and it seems they finally have, as Deadline reports today that Warner Bros. is developing the sequel!
“Matthew Robinson (The Invention Of Lying) pitched a take and has been brought on to write the sequel,” and the plan is still for Liman to return to the director’s chair.
Cruise and Blunt are also expected to return.
In Edge of Tomorrow, an adaptation of the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka…
“A soldier fighting aliens gets to relive the same day over and over again, the day restarting every time he dies.”
The film will be produced by Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally, and Masi Oka, with Hisashi Sasaki executive producing.
