New ALL YOU NEED IS KILL Set Photos Feature Tom Cruise In His Military Dress Uniform
Tom Cruise and a whole slew of extras dress in military attire were spotted today in Trafalgar Square, London filming scenes for Doug Liman's science-fiction, action film, All You Need Is Kill.
Tom Cruise and the rest of the crew from Doug Liman's All You Need Is Kill invaded London's Trafalgar Square. A tourist hotspot that features some of the country's most iconic landmarks, like Nelson's Column. Photographers were able to nab images of Tom in military dress, sporting Top Gun-like aviator-style sunglasses. He was joined on set by a large group of extras dressed in military battle gear, that was covered at times with ponchos.
The scenes that were filmed involved a chopper hovering over Trafalgar Square with Tom inside and then touching down. Tom Cruise's character then proceeds to disembark the chopper, greeting a contingent of military official. That's about it, nothing too exciting. No aliens (shrugs).

The story unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. No army in the world can match the speed, brutality or seeming prescience of the weaponized Mimic fighters or their telepathic commanders. But now the world’s armies have joined forces for a last stand offensive against the alien horde, with no second chances.
Lt. Col. Bill Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously demoted and then dropped—untrained and ill-equipped—into what amounts to little more than a suicide mission. Cage is killed within minutes, managing to take an Alpha down with him. But, impossibly, he awakens back at the beginning of the same hellish day, and is forced to fight and die again…and again. Direct physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop—dooming him to live out the same brutal combat over and over.
But with each pass, Cage becomes tougher, smarter, and able to engage the Mimics with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt), who has lain waste to more Mimics than anyone on Earth. As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated battle becomes an opportunity to find the key to annihilating the alien invaders and saving the Earth.
ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is being directed by Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) from a screenplay written by Dante Harper, Christopher McQuarrie and Joby Harold, based on the acclaimed novel "All You Need Is Kill" by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. The film stars: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Jonas Armstrong (BBC TV’s “Robin Hood”), Tony Way, Kick Gurry, Franz Drameh, and Charlotte Riley. The film will hit theaters March 7th, 2014
