Doug Liman/Tom Cruise Sci-fi Film Gets Release Date

Warner Bros. has announced a March 14, 2014 release date for the Tom Cruise Sci-fi movie "All You Need Is Kill". The movie is based on the book of the same name and will be directed by Doug Liman (Jumper).

Cruise will play Lt. Col. Bill Cage who is fighting an alien race, called Mimics, but whenever he is killed, he wakes again to fight the same day over again, not too unlike a Sci-fi Groundhog Day. He doesn't have to relive the day all alone though - Emily Blunt (Looper) is set to star alongside Cruise as Special Forces operative Rita Vrataski, a veteran of war who has slain more Mimics than any other human.

"All You Need Is Kill" will be the first movie to be shot at the all new Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, just outside London. Warner Bros., who once rented space at the studios, has spent over $155 million buying and revamping the studios since 2010.
