Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniou

Warner Bros has staked out March 14, 2014 for All You Need Is Kill , the Doug Liman-directed film that stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. The Dante Harper-scripted film  unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting romantic new england inns assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. No army in the world can match the speed, brutality or seeming prescience of the weaponized Mimic fighters or their telepathic commanders. But now the world's armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped—untrained and ill-equipped—into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again…and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop—dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over.
But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt), who has lain waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.
So after they kill all the aliens and win the war, they have to find a way for Cage to stay alive forever or he ll go right back to that moment that keeps repeating and have to fight the war all over again?! Or will having Cage killed by someone other than the alien break the cycle?
It s actually very different from SOURCE CODE. I would say it s more STARSHIP TROOPERS meets GROUNDHOG romantic new england inns DAY. This role would have been better suited for a younger actor, though, as the script originally had Billy Cage being 20. But this is about as high concept as it gets and I can see why Cruise would want to do it. I m excited for this.
I d say it sounds more like Armor by John Steakley. It s a sci-fi classic. Felix is a soldier wearing an armored suit who is sent into battle over and over. It s caused by a glitch in a computer that keeps sending his unit to fight because they were wiped out, except for Felix. And so he fights and fights and fights. The trauma romantic new england inns of constant battle causes him to create the Machine, a sort of split personality that takes over and does the fighting. I wonder if this movie is in anyway based on Armor as it does sound similar.
WTF kind of title is that what s the celebration? In this world and during these times, to title a movie (I won t call it a film) with a play on words of All You Need is Love and connect it to killing is just exploitive and BS and ridiculously unimaginative.
yes, just as RAIN MAN went through the crushing gears of development to turn the original older brother character into the younger brother played by Tom Cruise. And we all know how bad that turned out.
hey, i m not all knowing, but i also read the draft that sold and sorry to piss in your wheaties, but that role is not for a 51 year old man tom cruise or no tom cruise. it truly calls for a YOUNG WARRIOR with the ability to GO FOR A LONG TIME. sorry, but 50 year olds, no matter how trained they are, are still 50.
i am not going to be able to suspend my disbelief and buy that a 50 year old could go through that much battle, for that long and triumph. And emily blunt isn t even 30 she plays the love interest, a soldier too, but still A LOVE INTEREST. yes, he can buy a love interest 20 years younger than himself in real life, but nobody suspended their disbelief for THAT relationship either.
Your statement romantic new england inns yes he can buys a love interest 20 years younger than himself in real life , pretty much obviates any comment you make since it s clear you are just another irrational romantic new england inns Tom Cruise-hater. You don t know him, or his ex-wife, or know anything other than what you read in tabloids, which your little mind assumes must be correct.
Be that as it may, you do understand that in story-telling, in this case screenwriting, characters and their journeys can be rewritten, right? That does make it through your urine-obsessed mind? And if you haven t seen Cruise recently, romantic new england inns he s in the sort of physical shape most 20-year-olds would envy.
Also reminds me of The Forever War by Joe Haldeman. What is sad is remembering Cruise in All The Right Moves , Magnolia and one I really admired, The Lat Samurai . Just seems doing yet another romantic new england inns high-concept sci fi is predictable for someone like Tom. And I love Emilty Blunt, but as a special forces operative?
And, from what i read in reviews of the original book, Emily Blunt role called Metal Bitch of War in the book is actually the emotional core of the book. I remember reading somewhere at a scifi film web that this role is kinda make-or-break of the movie. So I M LOOKING romantic new england inns FORWARD TO IT!
Plus, isnt it great that Emily seem to FINALLY have her breakthrough LEADING role? I m not saying Prada it put her on the map but it supporting. Nearly 10 years has gone by, its time she deserve romantic new england inns anne hathaway s catwoman / scarlett s black widow / I think in terms of talent she up there with the top of her peer anne / natalie / keira / yet she still didnt get that BIG role of them
I am not a Tom Cruise fan at all, never have been but my favourite actor, the one young talented Actor I have always claimed will knock Cruise off his pedestal, Jonas Armstrong, is to appear in this movie so at least we ll get to see HIM in Australia, in any case I will buy the DVD through Amazon.co.uk and that is the only reason, because Jonas has the ability of stealing romantic new england inns the scenes of everything he has appeared in so far.
I know someone will say The title will make sense once you see the movie, but that s not the point. If you re spending $200 million on a movie for a global audience, you want them to spread good word of mouth and have it make sense BEFORE they see the movie.
That said, I ve read 3 drafts of this, and the original Dante Harper draft was fantastic. They butchered it when Tom Cruise hopped on board, though changing the protagonist romantic new england inns to a grown man kinda destroyed the point of the story, in my opinion. However, the latest draft that I read (which I think is the shooting draft hopefully) fixed a lot of the problems that came with Cruise s attachment, and I m pretty happy with it. Can t wait for this movie.
