Warner Bros. Developing Sequel to ‘Edge of Tomorrow’, With Cruise and Blunt Expected to Return
Live. Die. Repeat?
When it was released in 2014, director Doug Liman‘s sci-fi film Edge of Tomorrow didn’t exactly light up the box office, earning $370m worldwide on a $178m production budget. Regardless, sequel talks began shortly thereafter, with Liman and stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt all on board. The team had just been waiting for all the stars to align and it seems they finally have, as Deadline reports today that Warner Bros. is developing the sequel!
“Matthew Robinson (The Invention Of Lying) pitched a take and has been brought on to write the sequel,” and the plan is still for Liman to return to the director’s chair.
Cruise and Blunt are also expected to return.
In Edge of Tomorrow, an adaptation of the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka…
“A soldier fighting aliens gets to relive the same day over and over again, the day restarting every time he dies.”
The film will be produced by Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally, and Masi Oka, with Hisashi Sasaki executive producing.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
