Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's 2004 book, the story follows a new recruit sent out to fight off an alien invasion and finding himself dying on the battlefield and being reborn each day. Five months into this cycle though, he notices something different than the previous versions - a female soldier who may be the key to his escape.
Tom Cruise stars in the film as does Rapper T.I.
Dante Harper wrote the adapted script which Joby Harold has re-written.
Jason Hoffs Tom Lassally, Jeffrey Silver and Erwin Stoff will produce the film.
Production will take place soon after Cruise wraps work on Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi epic "Oblivion"
Blunt is also still in the running, with Emma Stone and Kristen Wiig to play Nora Charles in Rob Marshall's remake of the classic detective comedy "The Thin Man" according to Variety.
The 1934 film starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, based on Dashiell Hammett's book, follows an alcoholic former P.I. named Nick Charles and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who investigate a murder that involves an eccentric inventor and his bizarre family.
These polished and sophisticated society types spend as much time engaging in witty banter with each other as they do investigating the crime.
Five sequels were produced.
David Niven and Maggie Smith's memorable roles in 1976 comedy classic "Murder By Death" were directly inspired by the series.
It's expected that the novel will be used as a starting point. The story follows an alcoholic former P.I. named Nick Charles and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who investigate a murder that involves an eccentric inventor and his bizarre family.
Johnny Depp plays Nick.
Shattered Glass writer Billy Ray has been charged to pen the script taking over for David Koepp who himself replaced Permanent Midnight: author and screenwriter Jerry Stahl ("Bad Boys 2") who was previously attached to write the script but apparently never got going
Depp, Marshall, John DeLuca,Christi Dembrowski and Kevin McCormick are producing the pic.
