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. ![]()
