Otherworldly Creatures Attack in ‘All You Need Is Kill’ Clips
Two new clips from from the time loop anime feature All You Need Is Kill are playing below.
The first video shows the deadly impact of the alien invasion, but our hero Rita fights back against the monstrous creatures in the second clip.
Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka‘s 2004 Japanese light novel, the film opens in theaters tomorrow, January 16, via GKIDS.
It follows Rita, a resourceful but isolated young woman volunteering to help rebuild Japan after the mysterious appearance of a massive alien flower known as Darol.
When Darol unexpectedly erupts in a deadly event, unleashing monstrous creatures that decimate the population, Rita is caught in the destruction — and killed. But then she wakes up again. And again.
Caught in an endless time loop, Rita must navigate the trauma and repetition of death until she crosses paths with Keiji, a shy young man trapped in the same cycle. Together, they fight to break free from the loop and find meaning in the chaos around them.
Ken’ichirô Akimoto directs with Yukinori Nakamura serving as co-director from a script by Yûichirô Kido (“Star Wars: Visions”).
Studio 4°C (The Animatrix, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox) is the animation studio behind the project, with Warner Bros. Japan producing.
All You Need Is Kill is rated R for “some violence/bloody images.”
Sakurazaka’s book was previously adapted into the 2014 Tom Cruise vehicle Edge of Tomorrow.
“Mythic Quest” actor Chase Yi has been cast in a lead role in Paramount and Blumhouse’s new Paranormal Activity movie, Deadline reports this afternoon.
Ian Tuason (Undertone) will direct the eighth installment in the Paranormal Activity film franchise, set to release in theaters May 21, 2027.
As for character details or plot, well, those remain scarce at this stage.
While we wait for further news on whether the demonic Toby will reappear, Tuason previously revealed to Bloody Disgusting that technology will play a huge role in his vision: “Technology — camera technology — has advanced to a point where it’s become a big part of the film and what I want to do there.”
It’s fitting, especially as it was the original Paranormal Activity that inspired the filmmaker’s haunting debut, undertone.
Paranormal Activity, created by Oren Peli, first hit theaters in 2007. Its groundbreaking minimalist approach to found-footage ghost stories has spawned a seven-film franchise that’s grossed nearly $900 million worldwide.
Franchise originator Oren Peli will produce for Solana Films, with James Wan and Jason Blum producing for Blumhouse Atomic Monster. Michael Clear and Judson Scott will exec produce for Blumhouse Atomic, with Alayna Glasthal overseeing the project for the company. Other exec producers include Steven Schneider for Room 101, Inc., Dan Slater and Cody Calahan.
Also on the way soon is the Paranormal Activity stage play.
