Wonder how this will fare in the wake of LOOPER…

Last month WB officially green-lit Doug Liman’s ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt headlining the alien sci-fi thriller. As filming nears in London, a new name has been recruited. The lovely British bird Charlotte Riley (pictured) has joined the production.

Based on the 2004 Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the story is told from the first person point of view of the protagonist Keiji Kiriya. Keiji is a new recruit in the United Defense Force, fighting against the mysterious creatures called ‘Mimics’ which have laid siege to Earth. Keiji is killed on his first sortie, but through some inexplicable phenomenon wakes up having returned to the day before the battle, only to find himself caught in a time loop as his death and resurrection repeats time and time again. Keiji’s skills as a soldier grows as he passes through the time loops trying to change his fate.

Word is Riley will play a soldier who fights alongside Blunt and Cruise. That’s all we really know for now, as AYNIK looks to release sometime next year.
