Doug Liman, Edge of Tomorrow - Director Doug Liman discusses how he got involved with the new action flick 'Edge of Tomorrow' and says one cool aspect of this movie is that Tom Cruise plays a coward who's out of his element rather than a guy who already knows how to take care of himself. He says Emily Blunt was perfect for her role because her character needed to be a tough warrior, but also be vulnerable.

Edge of Tomorrow movie synopsis:

Despite his military ranking, Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) has never experienced combat. During a war against an invading alien race, he's suddenly assigned what amounts to a suicide mission and is killed within minutes. Yet he finds himself alive again and in a time loop that forces him to live out the same combat that got him killed - over and over.

There's one difference - each time, Cage's tactical abilities grow stronger as he builds skills, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt). With Rita's help, Cage learns to fight the aliens and each time they engage in battle, they get one step closer to winning the war.

Based on the novel "All You Need is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.
