EDGE OF TOMORROW Sequel Is Officially A Go At Warner Bros.
The Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt-led 2014 action pic (based on Japan's All You Need is Kill light novel) has been in development for a while but has now been officially greenlighted by Warner Bros.
Director Doug Liman has been discussing a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow since 2017 but the project is officially a go at Warner Bros. now as THR is reporting that production is set to begin once Matthew Robinson wraps a brand new script.
The film had modest box office returns, earning $370M globally from a production budget of $178M. However, the film was controversially rebranded as Live. Die. Repeat for its home video campaign and gained a second life. Liman has previously stated that a planned sequel would be titled Live. Die. Repeat and Repeat.
Before Robinson, screenwriters Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse worked with Liman on a sequel script. In previous interviews, Emily Blunt stated that the sequel to Edge of Tomorrow had been pushed back from its previously planned production date to accommodate her schedule on Mary Poppins.
