Director Doug Liman has shed some light on his approach to the sci-fi action
sequel Edge of Tomorrow 2 now known simply as Live Die Repeat and Repeat
and the ways in which it’ll be smaller than the first.
While appearing on a recent episode of MTV’s
Happy Sad Confused podcast, Liman was quizzed about the current state of Edge of Tomorrow 2, he
said “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. 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.”
Edge of Tomorrow is officially
getting the sequel it deserves in the form of Live Die Repeat and Repeat.
