Cruise Lands a Blunt Kill

Emily Blunt is currently in negotiations to star opposite Tom Cruise in his upcoming sci-fi pic All You Need Is Kill.

The Hollywood Reporter says the film stars Cruise as a "raw recruit who gets killed in action but, in Groundhog Day fashion, is reborn each day to fight, and die, again and again. He begins trying to train himself to be a better soldier in hope of changing his fate."

Blunt would play Valkyrie One, one of humanity's greatest soldiers.

The project will be helmed by The Bourne Identity's Doug Liman and distributed by Warner Bros. Blunt will next be seen in Nicholas Stoller's The Five-Year Engagement, which opens on April 27.
