Long Form
It's Time To Live, Die, Repeat Again: EDGE OF TOMORROW 2 in Development
It's Edge of Tomorrow all over again.
Warner Bros. is developing a sequel to the Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt sci-fi movie and has brought aboard writer Matthew Robinson to develop the script, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Edge of Tomorrow filmmaker Doug Liman, Cruise and Blunt are expected to return, dependent on Robinson delivering a script they like. Robinson co-directed and co-wrote the 2009 Ricky Gervais comedy The Invention of Lying and was one of the screenwriters of the 2016 movie Monster Trucks.
The choice of screenwriter gives me pause, but I loved Edge of Tomorrow, so hopefully another one can work out.
I'd say "why don't they go back to the writer of the first?" but that's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible - Fallout writer/director Christopher McQuarrie, and he's busy working up two more, sure to be kickass Mission: Impossibles, so I get it.
