touch : Why Edge of Tomorrow Had Two Different Titles
WhileEdge of Tomorrowwas a modest commercial achiever ( making $ 370 million worldwide on a $ 178 million budget ) , it was well - received by critic and audiences likewise , andthe film ’s cast / crew have expressed interest in construct a sequelever since . The project has been slow to develop , butDeadlinesaysEdge of Tomorrow 2is move onward once again , this clip base on a pitch that Robinson came up with and will plough into a screenplay .
writer Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse ( Race)wrote an earlier book draft fore edge of Tomorrow 2 , but their screenplay failed to secure a green - Inner Light and is no longer being used , by the sound of it . The plan is for Cruise and Blunt to recapitulate theirEdge of Tomorrowroles in the continuation , with the former ’s trusted pardner Christopher McQuarrie ( who co - save the original movie ) serve in some fashion , either as a Colorado - writer and/or a manufacturer . McQuarrie antecedently said that Shrapnel and Waterhouse ’s book helped tobetter excuse the first movie ’s somewhat confusing ending , but it persist to be see if the new script gulp follows courtship .
programing may be the big obstruction thatEdge of Tomorrow 2is facing at this point . Blunt is prepare to filmA Quiet Place 2later this year , while Liman is finishing reshoots and military post - production on his YA adaptationChaos Walking . Cruise , meanwhile , is currently filmingTop Gun : Maverickand has charge toshootingMission : Impossiblesequels back - to - backwith McQuarrie concisely after that . Trying to bump a metre when everyone is available to get back together will be tricky , to put it mildly .
Still , Cruise , Blunt , Liman , and McQuarrie all seem reasonably passionate about finding a agency to makeEdge of Tomorrow 2work , one way or another . So long as they can finalise on a script that they all mean is worthwhile , then we ’re biz too .
