“Edge of Tomorrow” became a box office hit in 2014. For the tenth anniversary, Cruise praised his co-star Emily Blunt to the skies.
In the “military science fiction” blockbuster “Edge of Tomorrow,” Hollywood stars Tom Cruise, 61, and Emily Blunt, 41, had to give their all under the direction of star director Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity,” 58) to do justice to their action-packed leading roles. In the film, Cruise played U.S. Major Bill Cage, who is trapped in a time loop and joins forces with Blunt’s war hero character, Rita Vrataski, to fight against militarily superior aliens.
Cruise on Blunt: “She Gave It Her All”
On the tenth anniversary of the film’s release, Tom Cruise took to Instagram to reflect on the old action days. In his post, he especially praised the outstanding performance of his co-star Emily Blunt. Alongside a trailer for the film, he wrote: “It’s been 10 years since ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ first hit theaters! I want to take this opportunity to thank Emily Blunt once again for being such a good friend and brilliant actress. I love her performance in this film. Her dedication. Her humor. Her vulnerability and strength. She gave it her all.”
Hopes for “Edge of Tomorrow 2”
“This anniversary brings back incredible memories,” he continued, before thanking the film’s director and other cast members, including the late actor Bill Paxton (1955-2017). His concluding words might give some fans hope for the much-anticipated sequel to the science fiction thriller. He said: “And many thanks to Warner Bros. for producing this film. I can’t wait to share more about the great films we’re working on right now.”
