Tom Cruise has slipped into his bad-ass metal suit for this latest Comic Con poster from his new sci-fi project ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ (previously known as ‘All You Need Is Kill’). The story is based on the novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka where Earth’s remaining military forces join together to destroy an invading alien race and is helmed by ‘The Bourne Identity’ director Doug Liman. It’s currently in post-production and eyeing a 6 June 2014 release and the new teaser one-sheet created especially for this weekends Comic Con in San Diego is the first to feature its newly given title! The sexy Emily Blunt (‘Looper’), Bill Paxton (‘Aliens’), Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong and Marianne Jean-Baptiste also star in the new sci-fi epic. Check out the poster below.
“The story unfolds in a near future in which 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 (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.”
