Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment has tabbed Oct. 7 as the street for director Doug Liman’s time-loop
sci-fi thriller starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, Edge of Tomorrow.
Planned for release are a
DVD stand-alone edition and two Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack SKUs — one with, and one
without a 3D viewing option.
The ARR is 123 days and
domestic ticket sales currently stand at $99.3 million.
An alien invasion force
called the “Mimics” gets more than they bargain for when a public relations
office, Major William Cage (Cruise), gets assigned to what amounts to a suicide
mission for being insubordinate. Sure
enough, he lasts little more that a few minutes in combat against these alien
creatures.
End of story? An action film with Tom Cruise being killed
off in the first reel?!? How does that
work?
Inexplicably this
neophyte combatant is caught in a time loop and with each cycle he becomes more
adept at delaying what seems to the inevitable, namely, his demise. And with each “death-loop” he becomes
more-savvy on how the invasion might be stopped and the Mimics defeated.
All three buying options
include the featurettes titled “Weapons of the Future” and “Creatures Not of
This World.” Exclusive to the Blu-ray
editions are deleted scenes and three additional production featurettes —
“Operation Downfall – Adrenaline Cut,” “Storming the Beach” and “On the Edge
With Doug Liman.”
Also added to Warner
Bros. Home Entertainment release calendar this week for delivery on Aug. 19 are
