With the brief tease we got yesterday, Warner Bros. has brought out the new main trailer for the summer film Edge of Tomorrow. Thankfully, while it does bring in a lot of new footage and changes the nature of it in some ways, it still sticks to some of the things that I think worked with the first, particularly when it comes to the music. It’s far more action oriented, but it’s balanced by the narration as well. The film, which is based on the Japanese science fiction novel All You Need Is Kill is directed by Doug Liman and stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt with a June 6th, 2014 release date.
Plot concept: 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.
