EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014) - Rita Vrataski's EXO Suit
Rita Vrataski’s EXO suit from the sci-fi action film Edge of Tomorrow, directed by Doug Liman. Rita Vrataski (Emily Blunt), the ‘Angel of Verdun’, wore her combat armour for the repeated time-looping Normandy beach landings where she died repeatedly in front of deserter-turned-hero Major William Cage(Tom Cruise). This particular EXO suit was worn by stunt performers in the film’s frenetic battle scenes. The EXO suit was designed to be lightweight, while still possessing the hulking movements of military hardware. The costume is made primarily of foam rubber, with sections of armour adorned throughout. The suit is secured to the wearer via an array of Velcro and clip-fastening straps. Hinged joints are fitted at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees to assist in mobility during use. Short cannon barrels are integrated into the left arm. Additional hoses have been dressed to give the appearance of a hydraulics system throughout the suit. The entire suit is finished in a distinctive black and red paint finish, with a grey Union flag painted on the right arm. Orange tracking markers are present on the backpack to facilitate the visual-effects addition of Vrataski’s shoulder cannons. Worn under the EXO armour is a full UDF uniform consisting of a dark grey jacket (marked ‘Liang Yang’)with integrated elbow pads and Union flag and unit patches on the arms; a set of plate armour made of foam with Velcro fastenings and web strapping; a pair of custom camouflage combat trousers (marked ‘Liang Yang’) with webbing belt; a pair of Dr. Martin combat boots with heel and toe cap dressing (UK size5); a pair of fingerless gloves; a black neck comforter and a pair of knee pads (marked ‘Rita’ and ‘Liang’). Both the armour and uniform are heavily distressed for use, with mud spatters, stains, scratches and grime applied to provide a combat-worn appearance. Some additional wear and small tears are present to the foam components from use and age. This lot is supplied with a Warner Bros. certificate of authenticity in place of a Prop Store certificate.
