Warner Bros. is in negotiations with Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau) to star opposite Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible) in Doug Liman’s (The Bourne Identity) All You Need is Kill.

Reports Variety :

Based on the graphic novel, the original story is in the vein of “Groundhog Day,” with a twist: A soldier in a war against aliens finds himself reliving his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier. Blunt plays another soldier who fights alongside Cruise.

Although the film is a sci-fier, Blunt’s role is said to have a major comedic aspect, which is one of the reasons she won the part. Blunt will next appear opposite Jason Segel in The Five-Year Engagement later this month, followed by Looper with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis at the end of the year.
