Tom Cruise To Star In ‘We Are Mortals’?
The Hollywood Reporter has mentioned in an analysis of Tom Cruise’s career that Warner Bros. is now in talks with him to star in We Are Mortals, the film formerly (and badassly) titled All You Need Is Kill to be directed by Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity). This comes as interesting news considering just a month ago it was reported by Vulture that Brad Pitt was being courted for the role.
Here is the official synopsis of the Hiroshi Sakurazak penned manga,
L to R (Western Style). There’s one thing worse than dying. It’s coming back to do it again and again… When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the Bitch of War. Is the Bitch the key to Keiji’s escape, or to his final death?
