This time, the story will be rebuilt from a new perspective, unlike the original novel and the live-action adaptation. The focus will be on the inner journey of Rita, a lonely woman, exploring her loneliness, her struggles and her emotional growth.
Synopsis All You Need Is Kill:
Rita is trapped in a temporal loop, reliving the same day repeatedly after the invasion of extraterrestrial life forms. With her memories and experiences accumulated as weapons, she continues to fight. However, without being understood by anyone and without seeing the battle, his mind begins to wear out. It was then that Keiji appeared in his life. “I also… I've been repeating this day,” he says. Two destinations intersect. Can this meeting bring hope to an endless battlefield?
Therefore, All You Need Is Kill of Hiroshi Sakurazaka, known for his revolutionary concept of temporal loops and his powerful growth narrative, played a crucial role in the phenomenon of science fiction with time travel.
Finally, this iconic novel, which later won a movie with Tom Cruise (at the limit of tomorrow), became a worldwide success.
