Tom Cruise Gets the German Green Light
A solo Tom Cruise catches a helicopter flight in Berlin, Germany en route to the set of his latest historical thriller, Valkyrie.
Tom, who is also one of the film’s producers, recently received permission to shoot at Tempelhof Airport’s Columbia Haus, site of a former Nazi prison for political detainees. in Berlin.
Before this, Tom, 45, was turned away multiple times from filming at a number of key locations in the German capital. In the film, he portrays German resistance hero Claus von Stauffenberg.
Valkyrie is set for a Aug. 8, 2008 release.

I knew he would get permission, he’s Tom Cruise. LOl
well he has the proper nazi-haircut alright.
He looks great!!!
He’s so insufferable. I hope his new movies bomb. He could use a dose of humility.
His hair actually looks better like that.
At least he has on jeans.. and looks comfortable, instead of that stupid three piece suit he always wears. maybe Katie is loosening him up a bit!
i don’t know why people give tom such a hard time….his movies are great, he is devoted to his religion, he always looks happy with his wife and children, he supports charity…seriously, wtf is there to hate about him?? i would watch any movie he comes out with because i know it will be good!
Damm, my day is ruined now! The Germans were my heroes. Loved how they were banning his crazy ass. They’ve got some big balls over there. Tomtom’s such a little dork!
Whats the matter Tom? Why aren’t you smiling for the cameras? Oohhhhh..wait.. I know! It wasn’t a prearranged photo op, there were no fans around, no one was seeking an autograph and so there was no need to put on your pony show. What a Loser!
I have never dislike a celebrity as much as I dislike this gay controlling, egomaniac, bi-polar dwarf.
Wow, he looks hot! love his hair
I don’t care for him but I want at least this movie to succeed.
HE LOOKS GREAT!!!
You mean he rides in a airplane?..and not in a space ship -then gets beam to his chosen location?..The German son says he dislikes Tom and his wacko alien cult religion, an does not agree with old man Tom ‘the cult leader’ playing the role of his father.
It was a disgrace he says.
Was ET visiting Tom in Germany?
Since Tom is the cult leader, is John Travolta the 2nd in command.
Wierdo’s..Freaks. German Government does not recognize the alien religion ‘Scientology’.
Who would, they believe aliens are a Gawd.
TinyTommy sucks. I hope nobody goes to see his movies from now on after his comments about Post Natal Depression. His cult screwed him right out of a career. I also can’t stand his fake ass marriage.
people are so ignorant when it comes to religion….at least tom has the balls to stick by what he believes in whether people like it or not…religous tolerance anyone? geez…hasn’t the world learned yet that it is stupid to hate someone because of their religion? and how come people rag on tom for scientology’s beliefs when there are all those christian pedophile priests out there?????
He’s lost weight. I swear he was super chubb there for a while.
atleast they finally let him in this one location, it’s the least they can do after refusing him all the key/important locations i’m sure it was the last option on the card and he had no choice but it’s either he takes it or lump it and #16(boss) how much were you paid to post on sites for him
He’s my man!!!
I laugh how gossip takes over the facts. Those Germany banning crap is not true. Germany even gave TC 6 million as their love gift and
Nazi planes have been flying overhead already for filming and the locals are aware of the production.
Read Variety and other real entertainment news people not trash bloggers.
WTG TOM!
Im dying to watch this movie. He is hot unlike other actors so ugly for their age and young actors looking so trashy and old.
Scientology is NOT a religion, it’s a brain-washing business.
We Germans had enough problems with brain-washing ideolgies in the past.
VALKYRIE IS GOING TO BE A GREAT MOVIE
Im not familiar with all this but thanks to Tom Cruise and the free publicity the press gives him Im very curious about this movie now.
He looks handsome and I love his appearance and clean cut professional look.
WooooHoooo Tom is back. I miss him.
Why is JustJared behind with the Valkyrie news and telling the banning juice that’s not even true.
This is my 2008 movie along with Indy 4,TDK,Iron Man ,Bond 22 and Katie’s movie.
Very hot and still among the best American actor of our time. Love him and Depp. I respect him more that he is a family man at heart, he is so good to his fans and the paparazzis.
4, unlike certain other actors and actresses, Tom’s movies dont bomb.
So many films of actresses and actors fail at the box office but you dont hear a beep about it but everything Tom Cruise does is analyzed 24/7. I am so there for this movie.
Congrats to Tom that Museum of Movie Image will honor him and on the New York Times Germany gives Tom a generous Gift.
Wow Tom is looking kinda hot again.
loooove him,Katie and his children.
Im Jewish but it didnt stop me from watching Passion of the Christ or that Tom Hanks Da Vinci Code. Cruise is a versatile actor and this movie Valkyrie is already stirring up lots of interest among my Jewish friends in Israel and even here Stateside.
He’s an inspiring actor and a hunk. Hard to believe he’s already in his 40’s.
Now that’s the Tom I crushed on as a child. I like him a lot better with the hair cut and the craziness isn’t as all encompassing as it usually is. Wow a wee bit of less crazy suits Tom quite nicely.
Im a Tom Cruise bandwagon and I make no bones about it.
no way an American white boy can play a Samurai hero but now Japan has a National Day for Tom Cruise not sure if its Oct. 6,9 or 12.
Hollywood filmmakers and German directors are correct that if any actor just played this role the public and media wont care.
This movie will just fade and Germany’s so called hero unheard of.
With Tom Cruise it is giving the movie,the history and Germany a lot of attention. His presence and talent is undeniable.
*****He is yummy**
Oh my, Tom is looking very HOT! I love his haircut. I’m looking forward to this movie and its going to be a big success but importantly its going to be a great movie with all the talented cast. I just hope he would start doing more than one movie a year….this year has been so boring without Cruise movie.
He is looking like his old self. Is it just me or this guy just gets younger and younger?
A great man and actor. His wife Katie is so beautiful and likable.
HE LOOKS HOT IN THE PICS
The only thing that Cruise is known for now a days, is being an arrogant, ignorant, medicinal ranting, wife auditioning, big nosed, weirdo.
My German friends are debating because some revere Stauffenberg while others hate him because he’s a Nazi top ranking officer with Hitler. They’re curious about this film and curiosity got the best of me too. They cant do wrong with the caliber of Tom Cruise.
Finally we have a picture of Tom Cruise! I’ve missed seeing him, even though I’m just as happy seeing Katie and Suri but I just felt like a void when I didn’t see him for a while. Thank you JJ.
He’s so hot!~
He needs to save his career and image by getting rid of Katie Holmes.
She is a bimbo. He can do SO MUCH BETTER!!!! At least he’s two for three with Mimi and Nicole.
Looks like Tom has found the fountain of youth.
I’m looking forward to this movie and I’ve already started reading a book about Stauffenberg, all thanks to Tom.
JJ you should get your facts straight about the banning and like someone suggested instead of getting your info from Fox news, you should try variety or Hollywood reporter.

He looks better when he is away from Katie Holmes…..Here he looks like the old Tom that everybody LOVED.
He is looking great. So this is what he is going to look like for the movie “VALKYRIE”?!…looking forward to it.

He is happy so who bloody cares about his career. Actors just like every other person should put their happiness and themselves before their career and obviously Tom wants her more than his bloody career!

Obviously he doesn’t care enough to think he needs to safe his career by “getting rid of his wife” that is just a nasty thing to say. He is just doing fine as he is, after all he is still working. This is a man who people think he need to safe his career but after all the PR problem he had he is in much better place than some of his peers.
He is a great actor, a decent person and is very lucky to be with the beautiful Katie. She’s just the girl we all dream of!
Im a Tom fan and always will be. Some will get jealous because he has it all from a successful career but most of all a happy family.
And ughhh what a lovely looking family.
WELCOME BACK TOM….WE, your fans have missed you…and have been there for you. The ugly press is ridiculous…and we are eager to have you on film again.
you look great…your daughter is adorable…and we wish you the very best.
I LOVE HIM. He is a great guy and for those who think his movie can bomb, think again, he is the great Tom Cruise even the german asses have realised that. He looks really good in these photos.
Love him
You may hate him but some how I doubt a Tom Cruise movie can bomb at the box office. Nope
can I save this picture for prosperity, he looks hot again.
Love him : for sure he is a great actor . Who cares if he is a Scientologist ??? He can act !!!
He is still attractive !!! I’d F.U.C.K. him !!!!!!!!!!!
Tom looks awesome in these pics. Love the new cut. And that’s the thing, Tom Cruise was always known for his wonderful hair. What he’s done in the past few years, I cannot explain. LOL. This is much more Tom. It’s his (handsome) face!!
I still love you Tom.
SWEET, I LOVE that he got turned away, the arrogant f^cker. Maybe for his next project he could get someone from the KKK to reprise Hattie McDaniels role in Gone With The Wind
Tom is 45 years old , isn’t it? At 45 he looks AMAZING ! I’m in love with him and his beautiful family !
Here comes the short-legged big-assed loony! He should leave German actors to play a German hero. He should play Robert Kennedy or some American character. I hope his movie bombs! Now it’s called “Rubicon”, oh well, WTF?
To poster #1, yea, and I knew he’d get banned cuz he’s Tom Cruise
so………..that snout on him, jesus christ, it’s like pinnochio. I guess it grows everytime he says he’s straight
No matter what people say, Tom Cruise is still and always be the Greatest Actor in the world!!! We are here in Indonesia LOVE YOU TOM, Keep up the good work, good act! You’re so handsome, and just become more & more handsome every year!!! We’re waiting for yr movies, we’ll watch them for sure!!! TOM CRUISE IS OUR IDOL!!!
Bahaha what a tosserrr
I won’t be watching his movies. First picture I’ve seen of him where he’s not devouring the camera.
I want to give all my support to Tom. I admire his strenghts while some nasty people are trying to put him down and to encourage boycott on his person.
Jealousy. Tom never had a flop, he always been on top, admire by Hollywood directors, the legends, and actors from every generations.
He is absolutly gorgeous and don’t need botox like Pitt or Seagal.
Tom don’t need to do commercials like clooney, kidman, pitt, dicaprio etc
He is the only real movie star in te world right now. Be happy you’re living this time with him. You’re nothing, bashers. While Tom…
love my Tommy.
he’s first fav hollywoodstar!
he’s hootttt
he’s great!
I will watch this movie and that of Holmes.
I got caught in his cult ‘Scientolgy’ while being underage, and their methods of extortion are insane. With psychological torture they tried to squeeze everything we own out of me and my whole family.
Only with the help of half a dozen of lawyers and a police squad they would let go.
d^mn!!! you’re lucky you got out!! I heard cruise wanted to leave back in the 90’s but they’ve got him by the balls because of his auditing sessions when he confessed to being a big ol homo
If Tom Cruise had wanted out then, he certainly would not have got his robot, I mean “wife” (they’re probably not even married), in it as well.
You may hate him but some how I doubt a Tom Cruise movie can bomb at the box office. Nope

Mission Impossible III did. That’s one of the reasons Paramount dumped him.
he’s sooo creepy and i love it! haj.
New York Times German Times? WTF
he’s hot as usual!!!
Tom is one of the most diversified actors of our time. His work in Samurai, Collateral, and the fun and thrilling Mission Impossible series is a testament to his talent. Additionally, he is gorgeous, hot, cute and a wonderful citizen: generous, a great friend, and a wonderful husband and father. His personal life and choices are no ones business but his own. There have been many times in history where religion has created wars, and murdered the innocent. Scientology is for individuals who find it to be rewarding and helpful. Be loving and kind AND enjoy the pleasure that Tom brings to the screen. I do……..plus a note to all you short people…..he ain’t so short! My guy is 5′4″ and what a hunk! Married to him 50 years and still ticking. MMMm
