Thanks to Showtime for the Hi-Res pic:

damn he looks good. looking forward to this film.
 
i know he might be a bit loony behind the camera... but people tend to judge him as an actor because of that.
i dont.. i like his movies.

people do that with a lot of celebrities. they look at their private life to judge their acting ability. if they seem nutty or loony, it equals bad acting on screen:huh:

hello look at courtney love...***** is crazy...but she can act.
 
Nice pics, thanks for posting them.:up: I noticed a new name in the press release - Terrence Stamp. Wonder who he's playing?

Shooting is expected to last for 70 days according to Variety. On a rumored budget of 80 million euros.
Love pics, but where is Singer? :confused:
I'm sure he's there but Singer is not interesting enough for the paparazzi that took those photos.They're there for Cruise.
 
Cool pics, Retro. I love seeing old planes. How much is 80 million euros in American money?
 
Off the top of my head, it's about $110 million, isn't it?
 
wow 110 million dollars into this "small" Usual Suspects type film? Singer is so bloody wasteful with money... i'm looking forward to this film big time but jeez... he really doesn't know how to manage this money well... unless there are some massive action scenes in this which I doubt I just don't see why this should cost anything more than 50 million given it's meant to be one of his "smaller films"

Isn't it filming overseas? Thats gotta cost a ton....
 
Not to mention the cost of all the planes and everything else being done practically.
 
Here we go again. Singer can't spend his budget , yadayadayada.

This movie is being set in WW 2 germany. It's expensive to shoot historical flicks considering that you have to built everything from the ground up , make everything historically accurate. Clothes , cars , buildings , sets.
Have any of you seen "The Good Sheperd". A good part of that movie takes place in WW2 germany . It doesn't feature epic shots of planes attacking buildings or whatnot. It's mostly talking yet the movie still cost 85 million according to IMDB.
Not to mention that Cruise's 20 million payday also is worked into the budget or not.
And lets' not forget an all star cast of Kenneth Branagh , Bill Nighy , Eddie Izzard , Terrance Stamp etc.

And according to Variety , this movie is budgeted at 80 million dollars and has gotten a 6.5 subsidy from the german goverment.

The United Artists film, which focuses on German military hero Col. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, will receive E4.8 million ($6.5 million) from the government's new $80 million a year German Federal Film Fund (DFFF).

"Valkyrie" is reportedly budgeted at $80 million, two-thirds of which will be spent in Germany.

The DFFF grant, which exceeds the total cost of most German features, is the latest government money provided to a major U.S. production in recent months.

I am curious as to where you get this claim of Singer being wasteful of money. If you're referring to SR, we all know a lot of that was all of the false starts and pay or play options associated with that film. And all his films have made their money back.
 
Also isn't the producer the one who is always involved with the finances :huh: .
I may be mistaken but the producer is the one who sets up all the money and everything so that the director can work. He's also the one headbutting with director when the director comes up with sequences that cost alot of money.
So to say that SInger is wasteful isn't really correct . It's Cruise who allowed the movie to be greenlit with the budget

Is Cruise getting a 20 million payday on this one? I doubt it, he seems to roll with a cut of the film's gross nowaday.

That's why i said "or not" :cwink:
I dunno if Cruise is getting his 20 million payday for this flick. Generally when he's really going for the OScars , he doesn't take the 20 million up front.
Same thing here i guess. Probably also the fact that they don't want to spend too much on this movie because it's already an expensive production. And this isn't a popcorn movie a la M:I or WOTW where the cash keeps coming in.
 
the lack of a real explanation is pretty confusing

What is there to explain? I don't like watching Tom Cruise. I don't like his acting style. I think everything about him is annoying. And it doesn't have anything to do with his ridiculous public appearances.



And that is sad, because with a different leading man I would look forward to this film.

A little off topic but darkdonnie is your avvy from Heroes?

Good points MG.:up: And lets not forget how much trouble they've had endured pre-production when they were denied access to some historical sites.
It said £40M in my paper

That's considerably less than the original rumored amount and it's totally reasonable IMO.
 
Always trust the man from the Netherlands!:yay:

I doubt Cruise is getting much from the production. He owns United Artist so it would be stupid to sky rocket his own companies' production budget.
 
Really nice updates, and the set pics look great. :up:
