BURBANK,
CA – July 15, 2013 – “Edge of Tomorrow” has been announced as the title of the
upcoming sci-fi thriller starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, directed by Doug
Liman and based on the book All You Need is Kill. The movie, from Warner
Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, is set for release on June 6,
2014, and the first look at footage from the film will be unveiled by the
Studio at this year’s International Comic-Con: San Diego on Saturday, July 20. The
announcement was made today by Sue Kroll, President, Worldwide Marketing and
International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Kroll
stated, “We are extremely pleased to be able to give the Comic-Con audience,
who’ve always been so supportive of us, the first peek at footage from ‘Edge of
Tomorrow.’ The movie has all of us at the Studio very excited, and we can’t
wait to see the reactions of fans who know and love the sci-fi genre so well.”
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.
The
international cast of “Edge of Tomorrow” also includes Bill Paxton (“Aliens,”
HBO’s “Big Love”), Kick Gurry (Australian TV’s “Tangle”), Dragomir Mrsic
(“Snabba Cash II”), Charlotte Riley (“World Without End”), Jonas Armstrong (BBC
TV’s “Robin Hood”), and Franz Drameh (“Attack the Block”).
Liman directs the film from a
screenplay by Dante W. Harper and Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth
and Christopher McQuarrie, based on the acclaimed novel All You Need is Kill
by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Erwin Stoff produces, along with Tom Lassally, Jason Hoffs,
Gregory Jacobs and Jeffrey Silver. The executive producers are Doug Liman, Dave
Bartis, Joby Harold, Hidemi Fukuhara, and Bruce Berman, with Kim Winther and
Tim Lewis serving as co-producers.
The
behind-the-scenes team includes Academy Award®-winning director of
photography Dion Beebe (“Memoirs of a Geisha”), production designer Oliver
Scholl (“Jumper,” “Independence Day”), editor James Herbert (“Sherlock Holmes,”
“Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”), costume designer Kate Hawley (“Pacific
Rim”), and Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Nick Davis
(“The Dark Knight”).
“Edge of Tomorrow” is a presentation of Warner Bros.
Pictures, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures. Opening beginning June
6, 2014, the film will be distributed in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX
by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select
