Edge of Tomorrow trailer, Jason Clarke is John Connor and posters for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Oblivion, Jack Reacher, Rock of Ages, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Knight and Day are just some of the many Tom Cruise starring films that have fell flat of decent critical reception recently. We’d have to think back to Valkyrie and War of the Worlds (both made by hugely talented directors (Bryan Singer and Steven Spielberg)) for a positively received film with Cruise in the lead role. Edge of the Tomorrow has a good concept (Groundhog Day meets Starship Troopers), director (The Bourne Identity’s Doug Liman) and supporting cast (Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton) and so could bring Cruise back into the favour of the critics.

The first trailer for Edge of Tomorrow has come in for your own entertainment. It promises cracking action as well as some truly original plots

We’ve got the very first posters for the new sequel/prequel to a legendary fantasy series that isn’t The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It’s of coarse Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Matt Reeves (Let Me In and Cloverfield director) is calling the shots while Gary Oldman, Andy Serkis, Judy Greer, Kodi Smit McPhee and Keri Russell all star as well as Jason Clarke who’s now entering talks to play John Connor, confirming that Christian Bale won’t feature. He could be alongside either Brie Larson, Emilia Clarke or Margot Robbie who have all confirmed to have auditioned for the role of Sarah Connor, John’s mother, for the new director Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World). Arnold Schwarzenegger is still set to return.
