Yesterday, May 28th, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt broke new grounds with a worldwide event when for the first time ever; three fan premieres were held in three different countries in just one day.
And just like in “Edge of Tomorrow”, the stars of the movie “reset” the red carpet as Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt race the clock to make each event before time runs out.
In “Edge of Tomorrow,” Cruise’s character relives the events of one day over and over in an epic battle to save the world. The story begins as he arrives in London, making that city the perfect place to kick off this global event.
Here is how it went down (all times are local)
In LONDON: at 7:00 AM, the inaugural premiere kicks off on the carpet, with a 9:00 a.m. screening.
The film takes both characters to France, where they face off against an insurmountable army of alien invaders.
IN PARIS: 2:00 p.m. red carpet in Paris, screening at 4:00 p.m.
IN NEW YORK: the final premiere will take the stars back to the U.S. where at 10:00 p.m. red carpet in with the final screening—on the edge of tomorrow—at 11:59 p.m.
Between cities, Cruise, Blunt and the film’s director, Doug Liman, interacted with fans via social media as they jet from country to country.
Oscar® nominee Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ sci-fi thriller “Edge of Tomorrow,” under the direction of Doug Liman.
The epic action of “Edge of Tomorrow” unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world.
Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop—forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again…and again.
But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
The international cast also includes Bill Paxton, Brendan Gleeson, Noah Taylor, Kick Gurry, Dragomir Mrsic, Charlotte Riley, Jonas Armstrong, Franz Drameh, Masayoshi Haneda and Tony Way.
Liman directed “Edge of Tomorrow” from a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth, based on the novel entitled All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka.
“Edge of Tomorrow” opens domestically on June 6, 2014; the film will be distributed in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX.
This movie has been rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material.
