We should dedicate the rest of this thread to proposing better titles for the film.

Here's my attempt...

"I'm making this movie cause L. Ron Hubbard's ghost said I could"

Is that catchy enough?
 
Edge of Tomorrow trailer is scheduled to release by next week.
 
The script for this was amazing. Alas I think that's where it ended.
All you need is Kill, was perfect for this narrative.

Sneak peek: 'Edge of Tomorrow' suits Cruise and Blunt
I admire his dedication as he still continues to take on such physically challenging roles, despite being 51 years old. Some highlights from the USA Today article are listed below.


Blunt trained six days a week for three months to get herself into alien-battling shape, focusing on everything from weights to sprints to yoga, aerial wire work and gymnastics.

"I even learned Krav Maga, a lethal martial arts using pretty much everything including your teeth to destroy," says Blunt. "That was pretty fun."

Cruise says he wanted to play alongside the "natural athlete" Blunt after seeing her perform as a ballet dancer in The Adjustment Bureau. He was not disappointed.

"She showed up and that girl was ready to roll, she was so fit," says Cruise. "She is a badass and she totally crushes it here."


Even Cruise needed to train extensively to deal with the visually impressive metal exosuit that allowed for full movement but weighed 85 pounds on average.

"One of the suits with the angel wings had a sniper rifle and missile launcher on my back and weighed about 130 pounds. I'm having to sprint in it," says Cruise, who helped develop the suits. "It's physically grueling."


In early days, the suit took as much as 20 minutes to even get into before the film team fine-tuned the design ("in the end we timed it and to get me into the suit took 30 seconds," says Cruise). And actors even had specially made rigs on set to take the weight off their shoulders between takes.

Despite the physical demands, the futuristic apparel was striking enough to set the fights and stunts around "what worked and what looked cool with the suits," says Cruise.

The 51-year-old actor, whose last film Oblivion was set in Earth's future, insists he didn't mean to go on a sci-fi action bender.

"Look, I make all different kinds of movies," he says. "When Doug (Liman) came to me and said what the story was and the design, I thought, 'This is going to be cool. It's going to be very different than anything I've done before.'"

I can't believe they give away so much of the plot in the trailer. Especially the part about Blunt's character.

They have basically shown the entire story except for the ending.
Not really a fan of the mech design, looks a bit cheap to me, but Cruise and Blunt look great.
 
Really like how it turned out so far, must see!

Glad they showed so much in the trailer, was worried it'd be another crappy WOOO-BOOM tease-fest.
 
Again spoiling cool stuff in a trailer, ****ing hollywood!
Looks cool, still not liking the suit, the helmet and weapon system look dumb. Hoped for an all out war movie but they yet manage to do some low key scenes in the country with vans exploding and car chases... Wait and see :)
