When Cage meets the general in charge of that part of the world's forces, he's told he's being sent right into this movie's version of D-Day and is to report for duty immediately. The landscapes evoke color newsreel footage from World War II, and much of the combat seems lifted from that era as well. Whole cities have been reduced to ash heaps.

The rest of the movie may not be his dream per se, but at various points it sure feels as though it is.
The film begins with Cage en route to European command headquarters in London, waking up in the belly of a transport chopper. He's never seen combat yet inexplicably finds himself thrown into the middle of a ferocious battle that will decide the outcome of the war.
Cage is a surprising choice for the role of hero. The canvas is so much bigger than any one person.” And considering how many writers have already worked on the project, that is very apparent.Tom Cruise, who seems to be spending his fifties saving humanity, plays Major William Cage, an Army public relations officer. “It’s not Locked Down where it’s one writer’s singular vision and you want to shoot that exact story with that intimacy. Tom and I often laugh about this, that during prep on that movie we’d say to ourselves, ‘There’s nothing like a looming start date for the shoot to put pressure down to get the script right.’ And then while we were shooting the movie, we’d say to ourselves, ‘There’s nothing like a looming wrap date to really put pressure down to getting the script done.’ Then when while we’re editing the movie, we’re like, ‘There’s nothing like a looming release date to force you to get the script right.’ These are really big, imaginative movies,” Liman said. “For Live Die Repeat, the script wasn’t there when we started shooting. Although Liman says this fact isn’t “really an impediment.” In fact, that’s more or less how they made the first movie.

We should probably pause here and say that Liman says that the script (which was being worked on, at various points, by Cruise’s chief collaborator and the original film’s co-writer Christopher McQuarrie, the team of Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, plus later rewrites being by original writer co-writer Jez Butterworth and most recently Matthew Robinson) still isn’t totally there yet. If you can get Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt to commit to the movie, it’s going to happen.” “It’s one of these things where if Tom, Emily and I were to say, ‘we’re ready to pull the trigger on this script,’ it’s Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, the film gets made,” Liman said. I get sometimes the sequel just has to have more firepower or more explosions but no visual effect is going to top what you’re going to get from a great scene performed by Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt.” And it’s Blunt and Cruise’s availability that could get the Edge of Tomorrow (sorry, Live Die Repeat) sequel off the ground.
That’s been my approach when developing the sequel and because Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are such phenomenal actors. “I’ve always been interested in the idea of a sequel being more character-driven than the first film, because that’s not how things are normally done. Should the sequel go forward, it’s the filmmaker’s idea that the movie would actually be smaller.
