Tom Cruise's Sci-Fi 'All You Need is Kill' Retitled 'Edge of Tomorrow'

Briefly: Just in time for its Comic-Con unveiling later this week, Warner Bros has announced an official title change/update for the sci-fi movie All You Need is Kill. Or, formerly known as All You Need is Kill, based on the book of that name by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Now it's titled Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton, directed by Doug Liman. From a screenplay by Dante Harper, the story follows an officer (Cruise) fighting a futuristic war against an alien race who gets caught in a suicidal time loop, forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again and again. Edge of Tomorrow seems like a good time loop title, though it does have a bit of a Bond ring to it. Check out the latest photo from the movie and the first teaser poster below and stay tuned for Comic-Con coverage.
Update! Here comes the first official poster for Edge of Tomorrow, as it's now called, from @WBPictures:
"We are extremely pleased to be able to give the Comic-Con audience, who've always been so supportive of us, the first peek at footage from Edge of Tomorrow. The movie has all of us at the Studio very excited, and we can’t wait to see the reactions of fans who know and love the sci-fi genre so well." Edge of Tomorrow is set in the distant future during war between a race of aliens called Mimics and the human race. Here's the IMDb synopsis: A soldier fighting in a war with aliens finds himself caught in a time loop of his last day in the battle, though he becomes better skilled along the way. Cruise plays Lt. Col. Bill Cage, an untrained and ill-equipped officer who is dropped "into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission," but gets stuck in a time loop on the same mission. Doug Liman (Go, Bourne Identity, Jumper) is directing. Warner Bros will release Edge of Tomorrow, formerly All You Need is Kill, in theaters everywhere June 6th next year.

I get that 'All you need is kill' is a bit of a ... tough title to market, but 'Edge of tomorrow' sounds like a bad soap opera!

Dude 'All You Need is Kill' sells itself. When I first saw the title I immediately thought "hrmm...why is kill all I need?...I better find out!"

STOP RENAMING THIS MOVIE! 'All You Need is Kill' is a great title, I read that and am immediately curious. I wonder how much they butchered the script from it's first draft because the rewrites were not good.

Agreed, I'd never heard of the source material, but the "all you need is kill" title made me very curious. This title... UGH, so generic.

Yeah, I prefer the original title too--and you can read the source novel, since it's been translated into English (was originally published in Japanese). More on it here:http://www.haikasoru.com/all-you-need-is-kill/

Heinlein's mobile infantry armored suits can't be far off. You know some general read the book and has been salivating over it for decades.

what a fucking horrible retitle.

Haha, I expect a new title in a few weeks called "Still Looking for Good Title" 😛 That being said, this kind of movie sounds right up my alley. I like Cruise and Blunt, although Liman has been hit and miss with me post-Bourne.

I liked the original title.

Same here, but then again, I've seen people get upset because they feel it's insulting to the Beatles....and no, I'm not making that up.

Sad.

Well at least they changed the title. I still think this will not do well.

Fucking political correctness! Our world is a dark place, we ALL know it, and it is not getting better, if you change a movie title! They change movie titles but they do not stop selling weapons. The capitalists still thinking we are all stupid. Mad world ... Greetings to the NSA!

They should call it Source Code:FUTURE or Run Shorty Run

Even though the source novel was published in 2004, way before THE SOURCE CODE....people still claim the film is a rip-off of TSC. Yeesh....

Most people do not know about the source material because it wasn't written in English.

Perhaps they changed it because "All you need is kill" sounds grammatically incorrect

The body armour is pretty poor is that all they could come up with. It looks alright in Elysium because of its trying to look down and dirty but not when its supposed to be cutting edge and the best the human race has got.

I could careless about the title or this movie. What I want to know is where is my EXO-SQUAD movie?!?!?

Wasn't this the same film that was shot in London last year they closed Trafalgar Square for? Didn't realise it was a sci-fi film.

I would be more pleased if the movie was made by Japanese, not US Americans... Film is very bad when compared to the light novel. 😐
