Edge of Tomorrow høstede både flotte anmeldelser, og blev noget af en succes i biograferne for en del år siden. Her spillede Emily Blunt og Tom Cruise overfor hinanden, og de bær begge kampdragter på over 40 kilo i løbet af stort set hele filmen.
Faktisk blev Blunt så overrasket over hvor tunge de var, at hun under optagelserne brød sammen fordi det var så fysisk hårdt. I et interview med Smartless fortæller hun at Cruise delte nogle hårde ord med hende, der dog endte med at hjælp hende igennem produktionen:
"I just started to cry, in front of Tom, and he didn't know what to do. And he just stared at me and was like, 'I know. I know. I know.' And I was like, 'Tommy, I'm not sure how I am going to get through this shoot.' And I started to cry, I was like, 'I'm just feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot!' He literally goes --- he stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, 'Come on. Stop being such a p*ssy, okay?' (Laughs.) And I did laugh, and we got through it."
Vi fik desværre aldrig en opfølger til filmen.
