Not to mention i remember your Ernest Borgnine post a few weeks ago

Oh, ofcourse you do. Borgnine rules.

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.

The amount is more around 50+ million euros not the rumored 80 million euros going by the Variety article.

Its from Entourage on HBO, the fake movie there making Medeillan about Pablo Escobar

Thanks. It looked an awful lot like something that could come from Heroes.

Potsdam, Germany - Germany's Stauffenberg family has broken ranks over a controversial true-life movie in which Tom Cruise is to depict their ancestor who tried to kill Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, with a family member playing a role in the film.

The production company said Friday that Philipp von Schulthess, who is a grandson of Count Claus von Stauffenberg, would play the role of a 1944 German Army adjutant in the film Valkyrie, which began shooting this week.

Last month, the late hero's son Berthold von Stauffenberg forecast the film would be 'rubbish' and said it was 'not nice' that a 'practicing Scientologist,' - Cruise - was playing the part of his father.

German politicians have continued to assail Cruise's philosophy of life as harmful, outraging US commentators who said he was being victimized on account of his creed.

The film, directed by Bryan Singer, 41, is a joint production by US and German studios and has qualified for 4.8 million euros (6.6 million dollars) in grants from Germany's film industry board.

It was not known Friday how Schulthess came to be in the cast, but it appeared he had attended an audition.

Studio Babelsberg also disclosed that Hitler would be played by British actor David Bamber, who played a Bob Geldof look-alike in the movie I Am Bob earlier this year.

The production company said Cruise was present during the second day of filming.

On Friday, the 63rd anniversary of the July 20 coup attempt, German newspapers reviewed other reasons why Cruise, 45, might make a poor plotter such as the age difference: Stauffenberg was 36.

The mass-circulation Bild noted that Stauffenberg was about 1.85 metres tall and Cruise less than 1.70.

Officials deny that Scientology was the reason rules were not relaxed to allow location shooting in a government office building where Colonel Stauffenberg had his office and was summarily shot by the Nazis.

Germany, which bans anti-democracy groups and monitors neo-Nazis, keeps Scientology under surveillance.

Junior politicians have continued to attack Cruise.

Rudolf Koeberle, state secretary for interior issues in Baden- Wuerttemberg state, said, 'Stauffenberg risked his life for freedom. It sullies his heritage to have a Scientology adherent act him.'

Germans have been criticizing Cruise since 1996 when the actor played in Mission Impossible.

Interesting casting...good to see they went with a unfamiliar face....I didn't want someone who was "known"

 

[green]

good casting. Thanks for that Retro.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Lets start a fanclub!

You can call it Scientology!

 

[Cinemaman]

I still hope we won't see much of Hitler, it would make movie looking even greater

 

[Sebastos]

Thanks for the information Retro.

 

[TheVileOne]

I heard they are changing the name of the movie to RUBICON now.

 

[Sebastos]

Where'd you hear that?

 

[Mr. Socko]

I heard they are changing the name of the movie to RUBICON now.

I've heard this as well and that's what it's listed as on IMDB. But I don't think it's confirmed

 

[TheVileOne]

It's listed on IMDB as Rubicon now.

I wonder what it's like for Germans to see the swastika all over the place like that.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Great pics.

It has to be a little weird, discomforting to see all those flags and symbols reminding people about the past.

 

[Dark Donnie]

I was just going to say that.....can't seem to shake that moment of history.

 

[Sava]

and the never should be able to shake that moment
