Doug Liman prepping for the 'Kill'

By Adnan Tezer Aug 25, 2010, 1:07 GMT

Doug Liman will direct Warner Bros.’ time-travel action film "All You Need Is Kill."

According to Variety, the film is based on the 2004 Japanese novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, with Dante Harper adapting the screenplay.

Erwin Stoff, Tom Lassally and Jason Hoffs are producing.

The film centers on a new recruit in a war against aliens who finds himself caught in a time loop in which he wakes up in the past after having been killed on the battlefield. As his death and resurrection repeat, he tries to change his fate.

Liman had signed in May to direct Warners' adaptation of "The Three Musketeers," but that project's been put on hold as Paul W.S. Anderson’s rival 3D version of the tale has gone into production.

Liman directed and produced "Fair Game," starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, which Summit opens Nov. 5.

His previous directing credits include "The Bourne Identity," "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and "Jumper."
