The first image of Tom Cruise in director Doug Liman’s (The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) sci fi actioner All You Need is Kill has arrived online, showing a mech-suit clad Cruiser running away from an explosion. With clunky armor like that, it’s no wonder Cruise’s future soldier is going to find himself killed over and over (and over) again…
Based upon Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s Japanese sci-fi novel of the same name, All You Need is Kill sees Cruise as Lt. Col. Bill Cage, an officer who finds himself thrown into battle against a hive-like alien race; killed within minutes, Cage awakens at the beginning of the day and soon discovers he’s been caught in a time-loop, forcing him to relive the same brutal combat over and over again. Cruise is joined in the cast by Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau), Bill Paxton (Aliens), Jonas Armstrong (Robin Hood), Tony Way (Game of Thrones), Kick Gurry (Tangle), Franz Drameh (Attack the Block), Dragomir Mrsic (Snabba Cash II) and Charlotte Riley (World Without End), and the film is currently slated for release on March 14th, 2014.
