According to Variety and our own sources, it looks as if Tom will be the star of Warner Brothers’ ‘All You Need Is Kill’  to be directed by Doug Liman. 

Liman visited Tom on the Pittsburgh set of his current film ‘One Shot’ to discuss the script which was written by Dante Harper.  The rewrite was done by Joby Harold.  Tom loved the script and although a contract with Warners hasn’t been officially signed yet, Tom is ready, willing and able to make the film.  The script will have to be tweaked slightly to reflect a more seasoned actor, but otherwise it’s “perfect”, we’re told by those who have read it. 

The film is a futuristic alien-invasion thriller which places a soldier (Tom) into battle against an alien species.  The soldier is killed in action, but is reborn each day to suffer the same fate. Eventually, he notices that he’s becoming a better warrior and that other circumstances are changing, which might be the key to altering the outcome.

As it looks at the moment, after his promotional duties for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol are finished right before Christmas, Tom will complete ‘One Shot’ and then move on to Universal’s ‘Oblivion’ in March.  ‘All You Need Is Kill’ is tentatively scheduled to start filming sometime in late summer or early fall (2012).  In addition, Tom has ‘Rock of Ages’ coming out in June.
