Edge of Tomorrow Movie, Cast News, and Release Date: Watch Tom Cruise Die Over and Over Again [Trailer]
If you've ever had an overwhelming desire to watch Cruise die a million times, you'll absolutely love watching the trailer for Edge of Tomorrow, which features Tom Cruise dying over and over again.
Based on the Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Edge of Tomorrow stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. It is scheduled to be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on June 6, 2014.
Think of Groundhog Day, except with explosions and Tom Cruise. Lt. Col. William "Bill" Cage (Tom Cruise) and Special Forces soldier Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) team up to fight a hostile alien race known as Mimics, with Cage continually returning to a fatal battle through a time loop. The 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.
In the beginning of the story, Cage 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; he is tutored by Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski, who is aware of the time loop and how to exploit it. And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
While the studio was originally considering Brad Pitt for the lead role,Tom Cruise was locked into the role in December 2011. Filming began in London and Warner Bros Studios, Leavesden near Watford, in September 2012 with Australian studio Village Roadshow Pictures producing. Trafalgar Square, London, was completely shut down in November to allow the production team to film shots for the movie.
