EDGE OF TOMORROW 2 Is Just Being Held Up By Scheduling According To The Director

While the film wasn't a huge success in theaters, fan buzz and video sales of Edge Of Tomorrow have pushed the discussion of a sequel into a reality. As far as where that sequel stands, it's still in development, but director Doug Liman seems to think the main hangup on shooting is due to everyone's scheduling:

“Tom and Emily [Blunt] and I are really excited to go do it. We have a script. We’re just trying to find a time to schedule it, between my schedule and Emily’s and Tom’s. But it’s one of these things where it’s a sequel whose origins come from the best possible place, which is, it’s not a studio saying, ‘Hey, we think we can make some more money. Let’s just stamp out another one.’ This sequel originated with fans of the original film who continually came up to Tom and myself and Emily and told us how much they loved the movie and would we ever consider a sequel. And enough people said that to me and to Tom and to Emily that we finally sat down and said, ‘What would a sequel even look like?’ We ended up with Chris McQuarrie coming up with a great story.”

That's some good news for fans being reported via Collider. Personally, I had no idea the film was that much of a success, but I am glad to hear the prospect of a sequel is not dead! Are you excited to see another installment of this film?
