Blunt to star opposite Cruise?

London: Actress Emily Blunt is in negotiations to join the cast of sci-fiction film ‘All You Need is Kill’, opposite Tom Cruise.

Produced by Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally and Jason Hoffs, ‘All You Need is Kill’ follows the story of a soldier in a war against aliens. He is is forced to re-live his last day again and again after he is killed. If Blunt joins the cast, she would play another soldier who fights alongside him, reports a website. The actress has previously said she was looking for a role in a sci-fiction or superhero film where the female character has substance. "Usually the female parts in a superhero film feel thankless. She`s the pill girlfriend while the guys are whizzing around saving the world," said Blunt. "I didn`t do the other ones because the part wasn`t very good or the timing wasn`t right, but I`m open to any kind of genre if the part is great and fun and different and a challenge in some way," she added. She also wants to do other films, especially "a comic-book movie or a science-fiction film." IANS
