Warner Bros. moves forward on Edge of Tomorrow sequel
-----------------------------------------------------
It's looking like Edge of Tomorrow will be getting a
sequel. According to Deadline, writer Matthew Robinson
(The Invention Of Lying, Jerk) pitched a take and has
been brought on to write the script for what director
Doug Liman has previously said could be titled Live
Die Repeat and Repeat.
At this point, the studio wants to bring back director
Liman along with stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, who
played soldiers amidst a war against vicious alien
invaders overseas. However, apparently neither Blunt
nor Cruise will commit to the project until they see a
script to their liking, which Liman will develop with
Robinson.
This isn't the first time the studio has kicked around
a sequel to the time-bending tale. Back in 2016,
writers Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse were enlisted
to pen a script, though the production ultimately
didn't come to fruition.
Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally and Masi Oka will produce
Live Die Repeat and Repeat, with Hisashi Sasaki serving
as executive producer.
Liman's Edge of Tomorrow brought in just north of
$100 million at the domestic box office, and cleared
$370 million worldwide. The film also starred Bill
Paxton, Noah Taylor, Kick Gurry, Dragomir Mrsic,
Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong, Franz Drameh,
Masayoshi Haneda and Tony Way. The movie was based on
the acclaimed novel All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi
Sakurazaka.
