![]() ![]() Just two months ago, Liman himself took to Instagram to share a picture of Robinson and producer Alison Winter alongside a pair of massive whiteboards that appear to be filled with the predictably wild story beats of a sequel. Its creative team has apparently also felt the same way, including Blunt, Cruise, and Liman. Blunt starred as military leader Rita Vrataski.ĭespite some wackiness with its title (it was later re-named “Live Die Repeat” for home box office sales and was first known as “All You Need Is Kill,” after the Hiroshi Sakurazaka light novel that inspired it) the film was a box office success, grossing over $370 million worldwide during a robust theatrical run that initially started with lukewarm domestic returns. In the years since its debut, the film has become something of a cult hit, and fans have long clamored for a sequel. The time reset gives humanity one last chance at victory over the Mimics. After being infected by Mimic blood, Cruise’s character finds himself reliving the same day every time he dies. Liman’s 2014 actioner (written by Butterworth, his brother John-Henry Butterworth, and filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie) starred Cruise as a public relations officer for the army who is forced into combat in a growing war between humans and a group of aliens called Mimics. “They asked me to do two months before I started ‘Mary Poppins.’ Tom was like, ‘Can you go this autumn?’ and I was like, ‘No, I can’t go, I’m playing Mary Poppins for like a year, dude! I can’t do ‘Edge of Tomorrow.'” Even then, however, Blunt was excited about the possibility of the sequel, saying, “Doug Liman has got an awesome idea and he’s excited and they just need to write it.”Īs Blunt tells it, Robinson just might be the “guy” to crack the screenplay. “It’s a lot for all the stars to align for everyone to be free at the same time and available to do it at the same time,” Blunt explained in 2018. When Blunt spoke with IndieWire during the press push for the first “Quiet Place” back in 2018, she shared that the sequel nearly happened before a little project called “Mary Poppins Returns” got in the way. We’ll have to do a real flashforward one.” The actress added with a laugh, “ We’ll go full ‘Irishman,’ it’ll be the ‘Irishman’ version of ‘Edge of Tomorrow.’ Who knows? I hope, I’m going to talk to Doug about it. “Tom and I are going to be 70 before we make another one,” she said. The actress did, however, joke that she and Cruise might be getting on in the years before it’s possible. So let’s see.” Blunt’s not joking about the love between cast and crew, affectionately referring to director Liman as a “mad scientist” who she couldn’t wait to see at the upcoming premiere for “A Quiet Place: Part II.” And, yes, she planned to speak to Liman about “Live Die Repeat and Repeat” at the event. “It broke my body in half, but I’d be willing to do it again to work with those boys who I love. So it may be a few years before Live Die Repeat and Repeat comes to pass, but it’ll surely have been worth the wait.‘Pain Hustlers’ Trailer: Emily Blunt Quits Being a Stripper to Sell Opioids in Netflix’s Dark Comedyīlunt remains game for the followup to the first film, despite the demands of the first one. Given that McQuarrie will be tied up on Mission: Impossible 6 post-production until next summer, it’s unclear if he won’t start writing the script until then or if he’s already been tinkering with it. Liman, meanwhile, is attached to helm the DC Comics adaptation Justice League Dark for Warner Bros., so now it sounds like it’s going to be about aligning all of the schedules of those involved. All involved are busy people-Cruise is currently shooting Mission: Impossible 6 with McQuarrie directing, and Blunt is filming Disney’s sequel Mary Poppins Returns. It’s exciting to hear Liman so confident that Edge of Tomorrow 2 will actually happen in these more recent comments. It’s more heresy in the film world for me to pitch things that are sort of unheard of.” And again that’s why I try to do things like Invisible that are just, the revolution’s sort of built into the idea. So it’s gonna revolutionize how people make sequels. “I’ve had some radical ideas about how to make a sequel that would interest me, in the same way that I had ideas of how you make an independent film and then Swingers came along and it was like ‘Aha, that’s the perfect movie for me to test these ideas out on.’ I had these intellectual ideas on how you should make a sequel that are unlike how anybody else makes a sequel, and this script and this idea fit perfectly into that idea. As for that story that Liman's so excited about, he previously told us that the film is actually a sequel that's a prequel, noting his intention to upend how people look at sequels in the first place:
