The marketing push is on for the next potentially big action movie of the summer season with Edge of Tomorrow. Warner Bros. has been doing a few science fiction films as of late and this one plays up some familiar concepts but plays with it in a rather fun way as it adapts the original Japanese novel. Warner Bros. has also now released a series of new featurettes for the film which run between one and three minutes each that covers a variety of different areas with a mixture of new scenes from the film and commentary by the actors and production side. 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.
