Despite principal photography having already wrapped, Deadline is reporting that Jeremy Piven (Entourage) is walking aboard Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow sci-fi summer blockbuster slated for 2014, which is currently undergoing some reshoots in the UK. Piven shall play the role of Col. Walter Marx.
Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s sci-fi book All You Need is Kill, the thriller stars Cruise as a hero who must relive the same horrific alien invasion battle day-in, day-out, which always ends with his demise. The more he dies, the better he fights on repeat. Perhaps with the aide of the best alien-killer on the planet by his side (Emily Blunt), he can change his destiny. Think a really disturbing version of Groundhog Day. Or Source Code.
Edge of Tomorrow is a thriller directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) and co-starring Bill Paxton, Emily Blunt and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.
Tomorrow comes June 6, 2014.
