Currently Browsing: "Valkyrie"

From production issues, legal troubles, and release date changes to the blind bashing against anything with Tom Cruise’s name attached to it… the buzz on Valkyrie has been non-existent. United Artists hopes to change that with the release of a new, action-packed and more stylized trailer.

The film’s journey to theaters has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride and it seems now that, finally, equilibrium has been restored. After some positive test screenings, MGM has decided to give the film a December 26 release date. However, the jury is still out on whether or not the film will be a shiny new bike or a lump of coal.

Valkyrie has been delayed twice, which is never a good sign. Add to this the fact that audiences pretty much laugh at the lead Nazi conspirator sounding like he comes from Syracuse rather than Germany, and the movie is looking to be a disaster.

Tom Cruise, who was most recently seen giving Adam Sandler a hysterical into at the MTV Movie Awards, is engaged in some reshoots for his forthcoming Nazi assassination flick Valkyrie.

Tom Cruise’s next flop has been taken off the schedule. It was first postponed from this summer to next autumn. Now it’s not expected to open until 2009. Or perhaps not at all.

Seeing Lions for Lambs this weekend? If so, you will catch this trailer. If not, you can just see it here. Is it just me or shouldn’t they all be speaking German?
