Surprise but true, apparently Warner Bros has bought a script based on an original novel from Japan. The title question to Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need Is Kill, which was first published in 2004 was indeed a breakthrough science-fiction that garnered a lot of praises.The story is told from the first person point of view of the protagonist Keiji Kiriya. Keiji is a new recruit in the United Defense Force, fighting against the mysterious creatures called 'Mimics' which have laid siege to Earth. Keiji is killed on his first sortie, but through some inexplicable phenomenon wakes up having returned to the day before the battle, only to find himself caught in a time loop as his death and resurrection repeats time and time again. Keiji's skills as a soldier grows as he passes through the time loops trying to change his fate.
It sounded like Groundhog Day but in sci-fi manner. Writer Dante Harper was brought in to write the script since last year The movie is now ready to shoot and the only thing missing are director and cast.
