LONDON \u2014 Three premieres in three cities on one day. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt are pushing their own limits to promote their latest movie “Edge of Tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

The tour starts Wednesday with an early London premiere, moving on to Paris and ending in New York.<\/p>\n

Film stars are used to jetting around to launch their projects but not usually on the same day. Blunt, the 31-year-old British actress known from “The Devil Wears Prada,” says it’s typical of her co-star.<\/p>\n

“When I heard about the premiere idea of three in one day, I just said ‘that’s Tom’s idea,'” she said.<\/p>\n

“Edge of Tomorrow,” directed by Doug Liman, is an action thriller, a science-fiction tale, a war movie and a love story all rolled into one.<\/p>\n

Cruise, 51, plays military PR man Maj. William Cage, a quick-talking coward who is forced to fight for humanity against an alien invasion. Blunt is the poster girl for the army, a highly-trained warrior and the only person who can help Cage when he starts living the same day over and over again, never reaching the tomorrow of the title.<\/p>\n

Shot in the U.K. at Warner Brothers’ Leavesden Studios, the director says three premieres in twenty-four hours is nothing compared to what they achieved on the set.<\/p>\n

“‘Edge of Tomorrow’ was an impossible movie to make \u2014 harder than anything I’ve ever done before.<\/p>\n

So having a premiere day that starts off sounding impossible really seemed like it would be a great way to finish,” Liman said.<\/p>\n

Cruise and Blunt joked about who will have more stamina on the day.<\/p>\n

“Because I have a baby, I’m not sleeping as much anyway,” Blunt noted.<\/p>\n

“You’ll be like, unconscious. But I’ll be there,” Cruise countered.<\/p>\n

Cruise and Blunt were talking on the rooftop of a London hotel overlooking the opening location of the movie, where the main character is flown in to Trafalgar Square. It was the first time a helicopter has ever landed in between the famous fountains, next to Nelson’s Column \u2014 something Cruise still gets excited talking about.<\/p>\n

Despite shooting around the clock, the stars took time out when Blunt invited Cruise to a trendy London sex club to celebrate Matt Damon’s birthday \u2014 a story she revealed on Jimmy Kimmel’s U.S. chat show.<\/p>\n

“He thought it was going to be a more civilized night,” Blunt says.<\/p>\n

“But it was fun.”<\/p>\n

“Edge of Tomorrow” is in U.K. cinemas on Friday and opens in the U.S. on June 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
