7.22 New 'Edge Of Tomorrow' One-Sheets:


A couple of new Comic-Con one-sheets (character) for Tom Cruise's upcoming alien war flick 'Edge Of Tomorrow', have made their way online.. The film is based on the Japanese science-fiction novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka 'All You Need Is Kill'.. I love that title, but last week Warner Bros. announced that the flick would be re-titled.. Hmmmm ok - Why on earth would the studio discard a bad-ass title in favor of a title that sounds like a generic James Bond title is beyond me...

Plot: In near future a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting 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 (Tom 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 (Emily 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..
