“Edge of Tomorrow,” also known as “Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow,” is a 2014 American science fiction action film starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, with Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson in supporting roles. Directed by Doug Liman and featuring a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and the Butterworth brothers, Jez and John-Henry, the film is based on the 2004 Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

The story unfolds in a future where an alien race has conquered much of Europe. Major William Cage (Cruise), a PR officer with little combat experience, is coerced into a military operation against the aliens and finds himself trapped in a time loop as he seeks to defeat the invaders.
In late 2009, 3 Arts Entertainment acquired the rights to All You Need Is Kill and subsequently sold a spec script to Warner Bros.

The film, produced with the participation of 3 Arts, Viz Media (the novel’s publisher), and Australian company Village Roadshow, began filming in late 2012 at locations including WB Studios in Leavesden and London’s Trafalgar Square. Nine companies handled the visual effects.

Warner Bros. invested over $100 million in marketing for the film, which debuted on May 30, 2014, in 28 territories and expanded to 36 more a week later. “Edge of Tomorrow” was well-received by critics, who commended its storyline, direction, action sequences, and performances, and it earned over $370.5 million globally during its theatrical release.
