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.
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.
When it was announced on Saturday that the Avengers sequel will be called Avengers: Age Of Ultron, many wondered if that meant Henry Pym, aka Ant-Man, would pop up in the movie, being introduced in that film before he gets his own Edgar Wright adventure later the same year.
Last week a sequel to The Conjuring was announced, which suggested Warner Bros had an inkling it would do well. They were right, as the James Wan directed horror movie, which cost just $20 million to make, grossed $41 million in its first three days in cinemas to top the US box office.
One of the surprises of the Marvel Comic-Con panel was the entire cast of Guardian Of The Galaxy coming on stage. It was particularly unexpected as the film has just started shooting in the UK, so Marvel had to get them on a flight to San Diego on Friday evening, put them on stage and then fly them back Saturday night.
With DC stepping up its game on the big screen, Comic-Con has become an increasing battle between DC and Marvel in trying to wow attendees. DC was first out of the gate, announcing that after years of speculation and hope from fans, Batman and Superman will finally team-up on-screen in 2015.
