Two new clips from from the time loop anime feature All You Need Is Kill are playing below.
The first video shows the deadly impact of the alien invasion, but our hero Rita fights back against the monstrous creatures in the second clip.
Based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka‘s 2004 Japanese light novel, the film opens in theaters tomorrow, January 16, via GKIDS.
It follows Rita, a resourceful but isolated young woman volunteering to help rebuild Japan after the mysterious appearance of a massive alien flower known as Darol.
When Darol unexpectedly erupts in a deadly event, unleashing monstrous creatures that decimate the population, Rita is caught in the destruction — and killed. But then she wakes up again. And again.
Caught in an endless time loop, Rita must navigate the trauma and repetition of death until she crosses paths with Keiji, a shy young man trapped in the same cycle. Together, they fight to break free from the loop and find meaning in the chaos around them.
Ken’ichirô Akimoto directs with Yukinori Nakamura serving as co-director from a script by Yûichirô Kido (“Star Wars: Visions”).
Studio 4°C (The Animatrix, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox) is the animation studio behind the project, with Warner Bros. Japan producing.
All You Need Is Kill is rated R for “some violence/bloody images.”
Sakurazaka’s book was previously adapted into the 2014 Tom Cruise vehicle Edge of Tomorrow.
