Emily Blunt & Tom Cruise: Killing Aliens!

Emily Blunt has just been confirmed to star opposite Tom Cruise in the upcoming Doug Liman sci-fi flick, All You Need is Kill.

According to Variety, “The original story is in the vein of ‘Groundhog Day,’ with a twist: A soldier in a war against aliens finds himself reliving his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier. Blunt plays another soldier who fights alongside Cruise.”
