Loved all shots with Cruise!!! It reminded me the first footage of The Prestige

Seriously, I can't think of anything worse than Tom Cruise doing another "historical" movie.

Did that clip say June 27? I'm hoping they go in the other direction. Hopefully, if Lions for Lambs does well it prove that Cruise is bankable outside of the summer box office. The subject matter isn't summer material. It'll sink like A Mighty Heart did this year.

Cruise finishes shooting war movie in Germany; Robert Redford due


Berlin (dpa) - Tom Cruise has finished his shooting in Germany for a war movie about a plot to kill Hitler, his production company said on Wednesday.

The Hollywood star plays German resistance hero Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie.

Work on the movie began in July and will be wrapped up by the end of the month after scenes in which Cruise is not involved are finished, the spokesman said.

Valkyrie portrays the true-life plot to assassinate the Nazi dictator with a bomb on July 20, 1944 at his Wolf's Lair headquarters in what is now Poland.

Filming was dogged by problems involving location issues, injuries to extras on set and objections to Cruise playing a German hero.

German authorities initially refused permission for filming at the Berlin site where Stauffenberg was executed, but later agreed on condition due respect was shown to the resistance leader.

After filming at the Bendler Block was finished, it was discovered that some of the negatives were ruined in development by the chemicals and the scenes had to be re-shot two weeks' later.

Colonel Stauffenberg and three other plotters were summarily shot at the site when Hitler survived the blast and the Nazis raced to suppress the plot before it spread.

Extras playing Wehrmacht soldiers were hurt last month when they fell off a vintage truck after the wooden side fell down as it rounded a bend on a Berlin street.

There were strong objections from some in Germany at the outset to the idea that Cruise should play a German hero, mainly because Cruise is a Scientology devotee and did not look like Stauffenberg, a Catholic.

Cruise is due to appear with Robert Redford in the German capital on October 24 at a special screening of Lions for Lambs, a political thriller about the Afghan war in which they both star.

Afterwards, the two actors will take part in a discussion with the audience about the film, which is due to be released in cinemas in Germany on November 8.

The movie digs behind the news, the politics and a nation divided to explore the human consequences of a complicated war, according to pre-release publicity.

Thanks.

This film is shaping up rather nicely. A fantastic cast, and a good pairing of director/writer. It's story alone makes it promising.

The only way I could see this failing is if Cruise does a bad job.

Awesome pics, it looks like a real massive war drama project that I have been looking forward to for a long time

 

[Mr. Socko]

I agree, fantastic pictures.


Is Guy Hendrix doing the production design and will Ottman be scoring?

 

[Sebastos]

Great pics.

Guy Hendrix Dyas is not doing the production design
He's been working on Indy 4
Dont know about Ottman yet.

I love Hendrix's work(best thing about SR), I knew he was on Indy 4 but I was thinking he may have been doing this one as well. Ah damn. As for Ottman, I hope he scores this and comes up with something great like he does with his superhero work. You see, I think Singer can put together one hell of a team and I believe this movie will turn out good. I hope he continues to work with Chris McQ as his writer, no Dougherty and Harris

Ottman is editing Valkyrie for Singer and is listed as composer.
Lilly Kilvert is listed as Production designer and looking at her credits she has a long list of historical films.
I wish Singer would get McQuarrie to right a Superman sequel.
I agree about Dyas, he does awesome work...his stuff for Elizabeth TGA is amazing.

Has a trailer for Valkyrie been mentioned anywhere yet?

Not yet but i'd definitely expect one before the end of the year.

Agreed. Maybe this movie will put him back into people's minds as a damn good filmmaker and NOT just the director of that weird Superman movie that came out not too long ago. I hope he realizes how bad those two hack writers dragged him down and he gets him a new writer to make a damn fine SR sequel.

 

[Retroman]

Louise Mingenbach is not working on this either.She's done all of Singer's movies (incl. the pilot of House) but she's been tied up with the Will Smith/Charlize Theron superhero flick Hancock.

Just do what it says Retro.

All right.t:

 

[블라스]

I am flabbergasted by the awesomeness of this movie

I thought maybe we'd get it this week with Lions for Lambs.
