![]() This news comes to us via Entertainment Weekly. We'll be sure to keep you posted as any further updates on the project are made available. Emily Blunt just isn't holding her breath waiting for this to finally happen. At this point, that's purely hypothetical. Let's say HBO Max decided to turn Edge of Tomorrow 2 into a streaming play, either as a movie or maybe even a miniseries? That seems believable. Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion are like 2 of the best Star Trek movies ever. ![]() Not to mention that, in the era of the streaming wars, literally anything can happen. Plus, in a post-pandemic world, many production budgets have ballooned with additional health and safety measures that have been put in place.Īll of this to say, it's easy to see why this movie might not be a sure thing. Unfortunately, both Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise have been incredibly busy, which hasn't helped matters. The other key point is that the first movie was very well-liked and found a larger audience on home video. didn't make enough money to consider Edge of Tomorrow 2 a top priority. The canvas is so much bigger than any one person.” And considering how many writers have already worked on the project, that is very apparent.That is, in part, why the sequel has taken a long time to get off the ground. “It’s not Locked Down where it’s one writer’s singular vision and you want to shoot that exact story with that intimacy. Edge of Tomorrow 2 Director Has No Idea If Sequel Will Ever Happen. ![]() Tom and I often laugh about this, that during prep on that movie we’d say to ourselves, ‘There’s nothing like a looming start date for the shoot to put pressure down to get the script right.’ And then while we were shooting the movie, we’d say to ourselves, ‘There’s nothing like a looming wrap date to really put pressure down to getting the script done.’ Then when while we’re editing the movie, we’re like, ‘There’s nothing like a looming release date to force you to get the script right.’ These are really big, imaginative movies,” Liman said. “For Live Die Repeat, the script wasn’t there when we started shooting. Although Liman says this fact isn’t “really an impediment.” In fact, that’s more or less how they made the first movie. We should probably pause here and say that Liman says that the script (which was being worked on, at various points, by Cruise’s chief collaborator and the original film’s co-writer Christopher McQuarrie, the team of Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, plus later rewrites being by original writer co-writer Jez Butterworth and most recently Matthew Robinson) still isn’t totally there yet. If you can get Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt to commit to the movie, it’s going to happen.” “It’s one of these things where if Tom, Emily and I were to say, ‘we’re ready to pull the trigger on this script,’ it’s Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, the film gets made,” Liman said. I get sometimes the sequel just has to have more firepower or more explosions but no visual effect is going to top what you’re going to get from a great scene performed by Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.” And it’s Blunt and Cruise’s availability that could get the Edge of Tomorrow (sorry, Live Die Repeat) sequel off the ground. That’s been my approach when developing the sequel and because Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are such phenomenal actors. ![]() “I’ve always been interested in the idea of a sequel being more character-driven than the first film, because that’s not how things are normally done. Should the sequel go forward, it’s the filmmaker’s idea that the movie would actually be smaller.
