Även om Edge of Tomorrow inte blev den hit på som Warner Bros. förväntade sig till en början, blev sci fi-äventyret ändå något av en kultfilm tack vare en alltmer växande fanbase. Nu passar regissören Doug Liman på att berätta lite om vad som pågår med den efterfrågade uppföljaren och vad som inspirerade teamet att göra en till film:
"Tom and Emily and I are really excited to go do it. We have a script. We're just trying to find a time to schedule it, between my schedule and Emily's and Tom's. But it's one of these things where it's a sequel whose origins come from the best possible place, which is, it's not a studio saying, 'Hey, we think we can make some more money. Let's just stamp out another one.' This sequel originated with fans of the original film who continually came up to Tom and myself and Emily and told us how much they loved the movie and would we ever consider a sequel. And enough people said that to me and to Tom and to Emily that we finally sat down and said, 'What would a sequel even look like?' We ended up with Chris McQuarrie coming up with a great story"
Trots att manuset - som Joe Shrapnel Anna Waterhouse skrev under McQuarries tillsyn - redan är färdigt, kan det dröja fram till år 2019 innan kamerorna börjar rulla på grund av Cruises och Blunts tajta scheman. Liman är dessutom upptagen med inspelningen av Chaos Walking för tillfället, men försäkrar om att teamet är genuint engagerade i projektet - särskilt Tompan:
"It really comes from the heart. And by the way, I never worked with Tom on one of these giant tent-pole movies, so I don't ... Everything I've ever seen him do or worked with him on comes from the heart in the most pure place. I mean, he is always thinking about his fans. He's always thinking about the audience. He's not one of these movie stars that thinks he's an anointed movie star. He genuinely understands that he's a movie star because people like his movies. And he wants to deliver for those people"
