Edge Of Tomorrow Sequel Has Hired Writers

Though it didn't look likely when the film initially hit theaters, the momentum behind a sequel to 2014's Tom Cruise-starring sci-fi Edge Of Tomorrow (or Live Die Repeat: Edge Of Tomorrow as it was awkwardly named for its home entertainment release) has been growing, partly thanks to a big haul worldwide. Now the follow-up has hired writers, with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse aboard to work with director Doug Liman. And lest you think this won't somehow result in another pairing of Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie (who did work on the first movie's script), rest easy – he's in talks to come aboard as a producer and develop the screenplay alongside Shrapnel and Waterhouse. Quite what they'll come up with is anyone's guess at the moment, especially since the first film seemed to wrap up its story fairly neatly. But given the time-looping aspects, anything is possible. This could be a pre-sequel-semi-reboot-quel set in an alternate dimension where Emil

Rebecca Ferguson Returning For Another Mission

With Christopher McQuarrie once more writing and directing a Mission: Impossible outing to follow his barnstorming Rogue Nation , it appears that at least one of the cast will be back to join Tom Cruise , and it’s one that a lot of people will be happy to see return: Rebecca Ferguson . The news is not quite official or confirmed by Paramount or McQuarrie as we write this, but Showbiz 411 is reporting that Ferguson is locked in for another round playing the mysterious and kick-ass Ilsa Faust. This will mark the first time a Mission leading lady has returned properly, not counting Michelle Monaghan’s tiny cameo at the end of Ghost Protocol. We’d expect to see the likes of at least Simon Pegg’s Benji Dunn and Ving Rhames’ Luther Stickell back, plus possibly Jeremy Renner’s Brandt (though he didn’t exactly get a lot to do last time) and maybe even Alec Baldwin, given the events of Rogue Nation. What will Isla be up to, given that she’s not officially a member of the M:I team and was

Christopher McQuarrie Set to Direct 'MI:6'

He'll rejoin Tom Cruise for the fourth time. Story by Matt Cummings The success behind Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is stunning: the film made over $680m worldwide, which was higher than Ghost Protocol , and nearly overtook that film in the domestic venues ($195m). With it claiming the top spy film domestically, it was all but guaranteed that a sixth film in the franchise would appear. With Actor Tom Cruise a guarantee to re-sign, the main question was who would direct That one got answered today. Via Twitter, Director Christopher McQuarrie revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he'll write, direct, and co-produce it with Actor Tom Cruise. McQuarrie released this earlier on Monday: Mission: Accepted #MI6 — ChristopherMcQuarrie (@chrismcquarrie) November 30, 2015 Cruise will reprise his role as Ethan Hunt, and will produce with J.J. Abrams. This will be the fourth time that Cruise and McQuarrie will collaborate, with the director writing the scrip

Patrick Heusinger Cast As The Villain In Jack Reacher 2

According to Variety after his break-out role in Bravo’s “ Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce ,” Patrick Heusinger is now in talks to join Tom Cruise in Paramount and Skydance’s sequel to “ Jack Reacher ” as the villain. Cobie Smulders, Aldis Hodge and Danika Yarosh are also on board to join the cast with Ed Zwick directing. Zwick and and Marshall Herskovitz wrote the most recent draft of the script after Richard Wenk penned the original draft. Paramount grossed $218 million worldwide from 2012’s “Jack Reacher,” directed by Christopher McQuarrie from his own script based on the Lee Child series of novels. The sequel will be based on Child’s “Never Go Back,” in which Reacher travels from South Dakota to the Virginia headquarters of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps and finds that his new commanding officer has been arrested. Details surrounding Hodge’s role are under wraps at this time, other than the character being described as “the hunter.” Cruise and Don Granger are pro

Is #CobieSmulders Joining Jack Reacher 2?

After playing Agent Maria Hill in the blockbuster “Avengers” movies, Cobie Smulders is poised to add another action franchise to her resume, as she’s in early talks to play the female lead opposite Tom Cruise in “ Jack Reacher 2 ,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap . Ed Zwick is set to direct from a script by Richard Wenk that Zwick recently rewrote with longtime collaborator Marshall Herskovitz. Rosamund Pike played the female lead in the original “ Jack Reache r,” but as evidenced by his “ Mission: Impossible ” franchise, Cruise likes to switch up his female leads to keep things fresh. Smulders may not have an official offer yet but multiple insiders say she has landed the coveted role of Danika, though character details remain under wraps. Christopher McQuarrie directed the first “Jack Reacher” movie, which grossed $218 million worldwide. The sequel will be based on author Lee Child’s “ Never Go Back ,” in which Reacher travels to the headq

Should 'Mission: Impossible 6' Get a New Director?

We explain why this might be a good idea, and dole out some possible candidates. Story by Matt Cummings Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is well on its way to box office success, enjoying one of the highest critic reviews of the summer at 93% (via Rotten Tomatoes). The news of its second weekend at number one is perhaps a clearer indication of its staying power over newer competition: moviegoers love Mission: Impossible . Therefore, it was with a feeling of certainty that Paramount last week announced that plans for Part 6 are already underway . Under normal circumstances, it would be likely that everyone associated with a past hit be retained in order to guarantee that another hit happens. However, in the case of this franchise, it might not be necessary. Part of M:I 's continued success lies in seeing a new director each time take the reins to make their own distinction, something current director Christopher McQuarrie acknowledges in recent interviews. Nothi

McQuarrie Talks Edge of Tomorrow Sequel Possibility

Tom Cruise's long day of alien-fighting could be extended. By Brandon Wolfe Writer/director Christopher McQuarrie has forged a strong creative bond with Tom Cruise in recent years, going from Jack Reacher to Edge of Tomorrow to the current hit Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation . But while Rogue Nation is a critically lauded blockbuster and Jack Reacher is about to receive a sequel , Edge of Tomorrow is the collaboration that sort of got lost in the shuffle, underperforming last year despite near-unanimous praise. But last week, Cruise mentioned to the press that he had an idea for an Edge of Tomorrow sequel, and in an interview with Uproxx , McQuarrie has addressed the chances of it coming to fruition. It all comes down to Warner Bros. and Doug Liman and Emily Blunt saying yes. The idea is there. At worst, it's the kernel of an idea - which is, on one hand, great, but on the other hand, I know what a nightmare that is. I know that I'll be in the void trying to f

Movie Review: #MissionImpossible - Rogue Nation

Tom Cruise flies high and delivers one of the best films of the Summer. Review by Matt Cummings Actor Tom Cruise has always maintained a special place in SandwichJohn's heart; thankfully, he asks me to write these reviews. Truth be told, I am also a fan of Cruise, and who could blame us? His recent movies ( Oblivion , Jack Reacher , Edge of Tomorrow ) consistently rank among my favorites, and his respect for the fans has done much to repair his wounded status as a tool for Scientology. Perhaps that's why he continues to draw lackluster box office numbers, leaving a mystery whose origins are hard to connect. What isn't a mystery is the result of his newest film Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation : it's easily one of my favorites of the year, bolstered by strong performances, great action, and a smart, twisty script. After successfully rescuing a stash of chemical weapons, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his Impossible Missions Force should be breathing a sigh o
