#MovietimeInManhattan #HappyBirthday #TomCruise @WBPictures EDGE OF TOMORROW COMES TO 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAYTM COMBO PACK AND DIGITAL FROM WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT Own it July 5 on 4K Ultra HD and Digital


DOUG LIMAN’S SCI-FI THRILLER STARRING TOM CRUISE AND EMILY BLUNT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K RESOLUTION WITH HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)

Previously reviewed by Whom You Know upon its theatre release by Warner Brothers Pictures, Edge of Tomorrow, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt and directed by Doug Liman, will be released on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital on July 5, it was announced today by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.  Originally we saw it in 3D Imax in the theatre; this brand new home entertainment release is just as amazing with the 4K Resolution with High Dynamic Range in Ultra HD Bluray.

We watched it again and the cinematography is brilliant as ever and Tom Cruise is on top of his game making his mark on the silver screen as a living legend.  And Happy Birthday to you today, Tom Cruise.  However, we stand by our opinion: Emily Blunt is even better.  Yes, the Devil does wear Combat Gear.

We first remember Emily Blunt from her role in The Devil Wears Pradathough we have not reviewed that movie we did briefly interview Anna Wintour twice.  Blunt was equally memorable in The Young Victoria.  In Edge of Tomorrow, Blunt plays Sgt. Rita Vrataski, the resistance's greatest warrior.  She proves to be one tough cookie, and we like how she was cast and her character was written as a strong woman.  (For more on strong women check out our friends Kym Hampton and Jen Welter.)  Her execution of this role is stellar and the reason to see Edge of Tomorrow.  
"I was really excited to play someone as tough, badass and physically dangerous as Rita.  But when I read the script, mixed in with this very cool story and intense action sequences I also found a lot of laughs, as well as incredible determination and perseverance of the human spirit," comments Blunt.

Directed by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Edge of Tomorrow stars Oscar® nominee Tom Cruise (the Mission Impossible films, Top Gun: Maverick) and Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Adjustment Bureau).

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Village Roadshow Pictures’ sci-fi thriller Edge of Tomorrow was directed by Liman from a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth and based on the novel entitled “All You Need is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Edge of Tomorrow was the first motion picture to be shot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden.

Edge of Tomorrow was produced by Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally, Jeffrey Silver, Gregory Jacobs and Jason Hoffs, alongside executive producers Doug Liman, David Bartis, Joby Harold, Hidemi Fukuhara and Bruce Berman, with Tim Lewis and Kim Winther serving as co-producers.

Supporting Cruise and Blunt is an international cast that includes Bill Paxton (Aliens, HBO’s “Big Love”), Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1), Noah Taylor (Lawless), Kick Gurry (Australian TV’s “Tangle”), Dragomir Mrsic (Snabba Cash II), Charlotte Riley (World Without End), Jonas Armstrong (BBC TV’s “Robin Hood”), Franz Drameh (Attack the Block), Masayoshi Haneda (Emperor) and Tony Way (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

Ultra HD* showcases 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and a wider color spectrum, offering consumers brighter, deeper, more lifelike colors for a home entertainment viewing experience like never before.

Edge of Tomorrow will be available on Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack for $24.99 ERP and includes an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the feature film in 4K with HDR and a Digital download of the film. Fans can also own Edge of Tomorrow in 4K Ultra HD via purchase from select digital retailers beginning on July 5.

About the Film: An alien race, undefeatable by any existing military unit, has launched a relentless attack on Earth, and Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) finds himself dropped into a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage is thrown into a time loop, forced to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again and again. Training alongside Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), his skills slowly evolve, and each battle moves them a step closer to defeating the enemy in this intense action thriller. ​
