Edge of Tomorrow: The Pre-Sequel?

Live. Die. Repeat...Again

Edge of Tomorrow (or Live. Die. Repeat) was one of my favorite films in recent memory, it was just such an enthralling and gripping time-travelling, action packed epic. It really put into perspective what it must be like to be a playable character in a first person shooter.

So I was extremely happy to learn that there is an Edge of Tomorrow 2 officially in development. Though the official title for the next film in the series has yet to be confirmed, it seems that it may not be the standard numbered sequel. Detailing the new information on Collider, Doug Liman has spoken about how the next film in the series will be a sequel that is a prequel. He also seemed incredibly excited about working on the project with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.

“That is the only sequel that I’m considering doing, and it’s because first of all the story is so amazing—much better than the original film, and I loved and loved the original film—and second of all, it’s a sequel that’s a prequel.”

Sounds interesting. It would certainly fit into the franchise well, given the first movie ended at the where it all began, after the time loop was broken. I imagine there’s all sorts that could be done with the set-up they’ve got for this film.

There currently isn’t an estimated release date for Edge of Tomorrow 2 so we will just have to continue to live our lives and hope we don’t get stuck in any time loops, delaying our ability to watch it, when it does release.
