Warner Brothers has grabbed the rights to produce a live-action, big-screen adaptation of the Japanese novel “All You Need Is Kill”.

Dante Harper wrote the adaptation from Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s original novel, which was published in 2004. It came to the US in 2009.

VIZ Media describes the book as;

“There’s one thing worse than dying. It’s coming back to do it again and again… When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different, something out of place: the female soldier known as the B*tch of War. Is the B*tch the key to Keiji’s escape, or to his final death?”
