Edge Of Tomorrow
With the first two trailers exploring the idea of the film well – though not giving us a clear villain which could hurt things to some degree – Warner Bros. has brought in the third and final trailer for Edge of Tomorrow. This explores more of the same themes and just heightens the stakes a bit but also the live, die, repeat aspect of it. 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.
