Tom Cruise is trapped in Groundhog Day, but at least he has a cool weaponized exoskeleton in this first trailer for Edge of Tomorrow, the adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s light novel All You Need Is Kill.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Tom Cruise) is caught in a time loop, stuck in a powersuit in the middle of an alien invasion where he dies in battle … and wakes up, only to repeat the whole experience. In one of his déjà-vu days, he meets Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt) who is somehow living a similar scenario. How close director Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Jumper, Go) will stay to the source material is hard to tell.
However, Viz, who will release an all new graphic novel adaptation in May ahead of the June theatrical release (see "'All You Need Is Kill' OGN") plans a mass market movie tie-in of the novel, which they will also publish in the U.S. (see "Interview with Aker and Hamric, Part 2").
Edge of Tomorrow will release in theaters June 6, 2014.
The property is also attracting new attention in Japan. Takeshi Obato (Death Note, Bakuman, Hikaru no Go) signed on last week to produce a manga adaptation that will run in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump beginning in January, according to Crunchyroll. It’s likely that Viz will bring the manga to North America when there’s enough material.
