Nine exciting new potential titles for Edge Of Tomorrow: Live Die Repeat

Movie Feature | Ali Gray | 10th October 2014

The Warner Bros marketing team have got themselves in quite the pickle with Edge Of Tomorrow. Despite being critically acclaimed and featuring the biggest movie star in the world in the lead role, Edge Of Tomorrow flopped in cinemas, leading to drastic measures - the title has changed to Live Die Repeat. We say this: IT HASN'T CHANGED ENOUGH.

Edge Of Tomorrow

Movie Review | Ali Gray | 30th May 2014

"See Paris die!" In 2005, Warner Bros took a novel approach to marketing their horror remake House Of Wax: they knew audiences wanted to see the film's star, Paris Hilton, meet a grisly end, and they didn't shy away from spoiling her character's fate. You can't help but think, then, that Warners have missed a trick promoting Edge Of Tomorrow, a sci-fi time-loop thriller that sees star Tom Cruise killed in around 50 different ways, only to wake up very much alive the morning before. "See Tom die!" would get way more people into the cinema than "Live. Die. Repeat" and that's a shame, because Edge Of Tomorrow is a terrific action movie that deserves to be seen by as many people as possible. It's taut, twisted and blackly funny in ways that only movies in which Tom Cruise gets crushed under the wheels of a truck can be.

Doug Liman looking to kill at the box-office with his next film

Movie News | Chris | 24th August 2010

Director Doug Liman may be punching the clock for Warner Bros as he is in the running to helm an adaptation of the ridiculously titled Japanese time-travel thriller, All You Need Is Kill. The only catch is that they've set a firm start date, and now it's a race against time to get the film under way. Relax. I think that's all the time related gags I can think of at the moment.
