Tom Cruise Film Edge Of Tomorrow "Renamed" For DVD

Fans of Tom Cruise’s ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ who were looking forward to buying the Blu-ray must have been surprised when the US cover of the action film appeared to rename the film Live Die Repeat.

The title ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ has been buried by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in the US DVD artwork, hidden at the bottom of the picture alongside the names of Cruise and co-star Emily Blunt.

‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ was a critically-successful film for the ‘Top Gun’ star, though didn’t storm the box office, making £218million worldwide.

In the big-screen marketing, the tagline Live. Die. Repeat featured prominently. But even fans of the film would agree that ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ is an unfortunately anodyne title, clearly thought up by some studio salesbot.

The movie, itself an adaptation of a Japanese sci-fi novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, started life as a 2010 Black List script by Dante Harper called ‘All You Need Is Kill’. It stars Cruise as a PR man who is thrust into a futuristic war against marauding aliens and finds himself in a time loop, living the same day over again. Even worse, at the end of each days, he is killed in combat. Blunt plays a grunt who teams up with him to defeat the invaders.

The UK art work for the release has yet to be released.

‘Edge of Tomorrow’ is released on DVD and Blu-ray on 13 October.
