Edge Of Tomorrow<\/strong> was one of the better summer blockbusters of 2014. Unfortunately, the Tom Cruise-Emily Blunt starring time-travel themed science-fiction war movie was poorly marketed by its studio Warner Brothers. So poorly so, that they even attempted a partial re-brand<\/a> of the film for its home video release. The film found enough of an audience through home video that it appears that a sequel might be in the works.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Edge Of Tomorrow<\/strong> director Doug Liman, Collider<\/a> is reporting that there is a solid idea for the sequel has been discussed and that all the principals are on board for a second film. And he also revealed what the title for that film would be.<\/p>\n

We have an amazing story! It\u2019s incredible! Way better than the first film, and I obviously loved the first film. It will be called Live Die Repeat and Repeat<\/strong>. Tom [Cruise] is excited about it, and Emily Blunt is excited about it. The big question is just when we\u2019ll do it. But it\u2019s not an if, it\u2019s a when.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the first news we’ve had on a sequel since April 2016 when screenwriters Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse were announced as scripting the follow up. Liman has previously noted that a second Edge Of Tomorrow<\/strong> film would be “a sequel that\u2019s a prequel.” Given the film’s twisty-turvey time-travel premise, that certainly raises some intriguing possibilities as to where the film may go.<\/p>\n

I think Liman stating that the title for the sequel would be Live Die Repeat and Repeat<\/strong> is an admission that Warner Brothers rebranding of the film for home video with the tag line “Live. Die. Repeat.” helped in some way to push the film’s receipts into the black.<\/p>\n

Edge Of Tomorrow<\/strong> seems to have had a rather tumultuous history when it comes to its title. The film started off life as All You Need Is Kill<\/strong>, the same title as the Japanese source novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. At some point during the production the films’ name was changed to the rather bland Edge Of Tomorrow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, we are still a long way off from the film receiving a greenlight, or even getting everyone’s schedules lined up. Cruise is currently shooting Mission: Impossible 6<\/strong> while Blunt is at work on Mary Poppins Returns<\/strong> for Disney. Liman is developing Justice League Dark<\/strong> for Warners though it remains to be seen as to when that will go in front of the cameras.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The science-fiction sequel gets a title that sounds vaguely familiar.<\/div>\n
