Edge of Tomorrow 2 is a sequel and a prequel

Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman has spoken to Collider about how Edge of Tomorrow 2, which he will return to direct, is not only a sequel but also a prequel to the 2014 original.

“That is the only sequel that I’m considering doing,” Liman said. “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.”

So what does that mean? Is it a prequel/sequel the way The Godfather Part II flashed back and forth? Does it involve time travel more extensive than the Groundhog Day-style way the previous movie did?

He also teased his new concept to IGN, boldly stating that, “It’s going to revolutionize how people make sequels. It really will.”

Race writers Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse have been brought on to script the film. The original screenwriter, Christopher McQuarrie, previously spoke about the prospect of a sequel, revealing star Tom Cruise had an idea for the film.

“Edge of Tomorrow was so hard and was so draining. When we went out to dinner when we were making Mission and Tom said, ‘I have an idea for the sequel to Edge,’ and I said, ‘I don’t want to f***ing hear it. I do not want to know!’ And he pitched the idea to me and he finished pitching it, I was like, ‘Why did you do that?'”

Doug Liman reveals Edge of Tomorrow sequel title

Doug Liman is a busy man, and has been back in high demand ever since 2014’s Edge of Tomorrow, the sci-fi version of Groundhog Day that many have eagerly been anticipating a follow-up to. Speaking with Collider, Liman opened up about the Edge of Tomorrow sequel, revealing it’s title.

“It will be called Live Die Repeat and Repeat. Tom [Cruise] is excited about it, and Emily Blunt is excited about it. The big question is just when we’ll do it. But it’s not an if, it’s a when.”

He went on to talk up the script for the film, saying:

“I had these intellectual ideas on how you should make a sequel that are unlike how anybody else makes a sequel, and this script and this idea fit perfectly into that idea. So it’s gonna revolutionize how people make sequels.”

Doug Liman teases new character for the ‘smaller’ Edge of Tomorrow sequel

Earlier this month, director Doug Liman announced the title for the highly-anticipated Edge of Tomorrow sequel, revealing the new film will be titled Live Die Repeat and Repeat. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via Collider), Liman further elaborated on the Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt sequel and his philosophy on making one.

“I think what people tend to do with sequels is they just make them bigger. And I’m like, ‘No, a sequel should be smaller.’ You did the first film as sort of the ad campaign for the sequel, so now you don’t need as much action, and in the case of Edge of Tomorrow, people obviously loved the comedy and they loved the situation… So we can do way more focus on Tom’s character and Emily Blunt’s character, and there’s a third character in the sequel that’s gonna for sure steal the movie. We can focus on that. I don’t need an action sequence every two minutes.”

Liman further spoke on the film, saying not to expect any further films and that the sequel would be the end of the series.

“I see this as a two-movie franchise; there’s the completion of the story we set up in the first movie and the relationships between Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt—because, remember, at the end of the first movie, she doesn’t know who he is—and that’s gonna launch us into an amazing new direction. It does pick up right where we left off, but it doesn’t keep going forward, because we’d screw with time, because the aliens screwed with time.”
