A new international trailer just hit for the upcoming sci fi action thriller Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. I still think the films biggest problems are the inevitable comparisons to Groundhog’s day, but the film definitely intrigues me.
Whoever put the trailer together needs to be fired, though. The music at the beginning is the same some from Battle: Los Angeles, and that sense memory alone could be enough to keep people away.
Along with Cruise and Blunt, the film also stars: Bill Paxton, Laura Pulver, and Jeremy Piven.
Edge of Tomorrow opens on June 6, 2014.
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.
