Edge of Tomorrow, on DVD/Blu-ray Oct. 7, 2014

[areaseven]

Set for release on June 6, 2014 is Edge of Tomorrow, the Hollywood adaptation of the sci-fi novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Directed by Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Jumper) the film stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton.

The screenplay was originally written by Dante Harper, but it underwent numerous revisions under Joby Harold (Awake), Steve Kloves (the Harry Potter series, The Amazing Spider-Man), Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, The Wolverine), Tim Kring (Crossing Jordan, Heroes), Jez Butterworth (Fair Game), Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (Transformers, Star Trek). This is already not a good sign.

And here's the first set of teaser posters:

Looks like complete crap.

[the white drew carey]

Awesome AmeriMecha design!

[Mr March]

America!

[Knight26]

ACtually that mech suit is based on current developments, though I imagine a fully operational version would probably have more armor on it

[electric indigo]

Hmm, it's Groundhog Day - in Space!

Plot

The story is told from the perspective of Keiji Kiriya, a new recruit in the United Defense Force which fights against the mysterious 'Mimics' which have laid siege to Earth. Keiji is killed on his first sortie, but through some inexplicable phenomenon wakes up having returned to the day before the battle, only to find himself caught in a time loop as his death and resurrection repeats time and time again. Keiji's skill as a soldier grows as he passes through each time loop in a desperate attempt to change his fate.

[mechaninac]

Wow, if that is the plot, than it's very much like Groundhog day... only with none of the charm and wit.

[Knight26]

What is you replaced tom cruise with Bill Murray, instant win

[badboy00z]

America!

They should have made the whole star glow instead of a stupid rectangle...

[the white drew carey]

...though I imagine a fully operational version would probably have more armor on it

Precisely. But even what is in development would probably be a bit more streamlined in its final form. This just looks loose and clunky.

[Old_Nash]

They get Iron Man Mark1 from the Stark Industries.

[macrossnake]

Looks like Tom Cruise in a Starship Troopers movie.

[the white drew carey]

LOL! It does, doesn't it.

[David Hingtgen]

Hollywood sure does love Langley AFB's "FF" tailcode. I think every plane in every Marvel movie ever has had it---and now this. (though it's more like a "shouldercode")

Set for release on March 14 2014 is All You Need Is Kill, the Hollywood adaptation of the sci-fi novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Directed by Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Jumper) the film stars Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton.

And here's a first look at Tom Cruise in a mech suit:

All You Need Is Kill Slated for March 14, 2014

You know you'd all wear it.

[electric indigo]

Can't beat the subtle phallic allusion:

[Duke Togo]

Can't beat the subtle phallic allusion:

Looks like Mass Effect

[areaseven]

Can't beat the subtle phallic allusion:

Looks like Mass Effect

And it looks like the film has a new title.

[Duke Togo]

New title has been in place for a month. I just don't think anyone is paying attention just yet.

[taksraven]

New title needs to be in the thread name. Prefer the original title though.

[Ghost Train]

Exo-skeleton movie bandwagon begin

[mechaninac]

Exo-skeleton movie bandwagon begin

Bring on The Knight Sabers...

[taksraven]

First trailer. Looks interesting.

[electric indigo]

Starship Troopers 2.0

[CePeAi]

Bleeergh, will skip it.

[TehPW]

hmm.... it is impressive but it's Tom i"m a FING retard. Maybe.

[skullmilitia]

How dare you!

They should have made him fly an F-14, that's the only way I can take him seriously. Lol

Oh god, no Tom can't play Shin Kudo, move on optimistic Hollywood suit.. Move on!

[Knight26]

Maybe with better casting and a powered suit that didn't look like ass...

The source material is interesting

[Black Valkyrie]

Tom Cruise = bad movie.

[areaseven]

Tom Cruise = bad movie.

Tell me about it. I stopped watching Tom Cruise movies after The Last Samurai.

[Twoducks]

"Groundhog day but with pew pew" looks interesting. At least I didn't laugh my ass off like i did with "I Frankenstein".

[UN Spacy]

I'd see it.

[Duke Togo]

Tell me about it. I stopped watching Tom Cruise movies after The Last Samurai.

You missed out on Collateral, Tropic Thunder, and Jack Reacher.

[Knight26]

Tropic Thunder is not a Tom Cruise movie, he is in it, but he is not the focus.

Cruise can make some good movies, but I don't like what I see so far with this one. I mean why make an exoskeleton like that with no additional armor to protect the pilot. It's almost as bad as those stupid mechs in the Matrix sequels.

Also, care chases, really why? Were the battles scenes not enough?

Tropic Thunder is not a Tom Cruise movie. He's the best thing in it, but he is not the focus.
