Just before Comic Con, Tom Cruise’ upcoming sci-fi changed from being All You Need Is Kill to Edge Of Tomorrow. Now it’s edged further to the bid screen with the news, via Deadline, that Jeremy Piven has joined the cast.
It’s a bit of a surprise he’s been added so late as the film has been shooting for a while in the UK. However as Jeremy was already in Britain shooting a new series of Mr. Selfridge, they’ve managed to slot him in. He will apparently play a character called Col. Walter Marx.
Here’s the official synopsis: ‘The epic action of Edge of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
‘Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop-forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.
‘But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.’
It’s due out June 2014.
The first footage from Edge Of Tomorrow (previously known as All You Need Is Kill) screened at Comic-Con over the weekend, and unfortunately while we don’t have that, we do have two new posters from the movie, showing us Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt in the movie. Take a look at them above and below.


Adding Marianne Jean-Baptiste to the cast of a film or TV show is always a good idea, and now that Without A Trace is over, she’s free to bring her skills to a range of projects, even if Hollywood doesn’t often seem to use her as much as they should.
The Dark Knight Rises’ star Tom Hardy is in early talks to star in Everest for Sony Pictures and director Doug Liman, according to
Tom Cruise has been attached to All You Need Is Kill for over a year, with Emily Blunt joining him a few months ago. However it’s only now things have moved close enough to production that they’re starting to fill out the cast, with
I would imagine that with the Depp and Jolie flick The Tourist not exactly setting the box office alight, the title of this movie will change before it hits cinemas, but as things stand, Mr & Mrs Smith and Bourne Identity helmer Doug Liman has signed up to produce and possibly direct a spy thriller currently called The Tourist.
Tom Cruise is going to be hanging round quite a few British women on the set of All You Need Is Kill, as Emily Blunt has already signed up to co-star, and now she’s been joined by Tom Hardy’s fiance, Charlotte Riley (and just for the fact she gets to sleep with Tom, we hate her). It’ll be her first major role within the Hollywood system.
