Pose, Smile, Repeat: Tom Cruise beams against the Rome skyline ahead of epic three cities, one day photo call for Edge of Tomorrow 

By Daily Mail Reporter

The tagline for his forthcoming film is Live, Die, Repeat.

So it seemed Tom Cruise was keen to keep to the theme of his new film Edge of Tomorrow as he kicked off his ambitious photo call in Rome, which will see him visit three countries in one day on Wednesday. 

The 51-year-old actor looked happy to pose against landmarks of the Italian skyline on Tuesday, taking in the scenery before the blockbusters epic promotional tour.

The tour starts on Wednesday with an early London premiere, moving on to Paris and ending in New York.

Edge of Tomorrow is a combination of action, science-fiction, a war movie and a love story, directed by Doug Liman.

Cruise, 51, plays military PR man Major William Cage, a quick-talking coward who is forced to fight for humanity against an alien invasion.

Emily Blunt co-stars as the poster girl for the army, a highly-trained warrior and the only person who can help him when he starts living the same day over and over again, never reaching the tomorrow of the title.

Shot in the U.K. at Warner Brothers Leavesden Studios, director Doug Liman says three premieres in twenty-four hours is nothing compared to what they achieved on set.

Edge of Tomorrow is in U.K. cinemas on Friday and opens in the U.S. on June 6.

Used to have major respect for him due to the amount of time he spent on the red carpet with fans. However now I just find him completely cringe
