The Valkyrie Trailer — Starring Tom Cruise

With the dutch actress Carice van Houten!!:)

i got bored watching the trailer but KENNETH B—YUM!!! TOM WILKINSON - SOLID. Maybe they will save it.

I must say Tom has a creepy look, and he pulled off the cold Nazi character pretty well. I don’t necessarily idolize Tom, but this movie look good.

Count me in for this movie. Kicks ass!!!!!!

Thanks Jared. What an amazing film and I love the music in the background. The cast are superb, the directing and writing too.

Being German mysel I had a bit of a laugh, though not on Tom Cruise: True story of an unknown hero? Stauffenberg is very much of a hero in Germany - not only since brilliant Sebastian Koch (who also was in Oscar winning The Lives of Others) portrayed him in a TV flick a few years ago ;)

At the beginning most Germans were concerned that Stauffenberg will be played by Cruise since Scientology is nothing but a sect here - but Cruise was a nice guest to our country (also visiting dying actor Ulrich Mühe a few days before his death) and I do really hope that his movie will show that not all Germans are or were Nazis in the sense everyone has in mind. I am really proud that there were couragous heroes as Stauffenberg and his followers. Can’t wait til it starts.

unfortunately Tess, many dont know this hero. But this movie and thanks to Tom Cruise presence that will change. People nowadays know more about Paris Hilton than what’s going on in the world.
So many dont even know their own U.S. history let alone world history. Its laughable that youngsters really belive the version of the Titanic by Leo DiCaprio and the Pearl Harbor version of Ben Affleck.

LOL!

@Mona
LOL! Yeah, I guess that’s true. I’ve been asked recently what’s it like to live in a state ruled by Hitler ;) Quite a lot of people believe that everything told in movies is true.

I grew up with tom cruise on the screen… the past few years have been difficult but as the granddaughter of someone who entered into Berlin in 1945, this is a important film for people to see.. it will encourage younger generations to dive into history and really look for the truths of our past. What did we have so much to lose for… my grandfather refused to speak of those years of his life - entering Berlin and dealing with Germans, of his own blood probably, who may or may have not supported Hitler. This I think, is not a movie to judge celebrity as one might, but to open minds to other alterntives that are available to us as a country, and as a planet.

They dont speak German?

Anyone recall Shindler’s list the German characters sound British.
Enemy at the Gates have Russian characters but their accents like Jude Law,Weisz and Ed Harris are nowhere to be found.
Black Hawk Down some American soldiers sound Australian and British.
Gladiator its supposedly Rome but the accents are all juggled up same with Munich. 3:10 to Yuma a Western with Aussie accent same in American Gangster an FBI that sounds Australian.

Some dont know there are German actors in Valkyrie but they dont sound German do they. I wonder which one is Stauffenberg’s relative in the trailer?

Hollywood is noticing this time that war and political films are drying out at the box office. The decline started after 9-11 and even got worst this fall movie line up of war films starting with the Kingdom,Valley of Elah,Rendition and now Lions for Lambs. Im surprise that Brad and Angelina are going for another Middle East arc when Might Heart failed too.

I saw on CNN many films on war will be cut down by Hollywood. What ticks me off is that real historical pieces and amazing movies like We Were Soldiers,Flags of our Fathers by Clint Eastwood are ignored but movies that are just lies by Michael Moore the public flock to it.

Sad for war fans that some war projects like Spielberg and Ridley Scott might not happen anymore. At least my Blackwater movie is still a go but films like Operation Anaconda and other Afghanistan and Iraq action war films will be denied.

I’m out on this one. The topic sounds interesting, but the guy totally turns me off. Don’t think I could sit through it.

Why cant this weirdo just do a documentary of his weird strange life. That would be more interesting,you know, like,wife contracts,baby aint his, the gay lover he’s hiding, wanting to be a monk still, his company space ship gets washed on Tuesdays,,and his alien cult..oh yeah and how aliens created the world..

a bonus would be how RON L. HUBBARD made all this cra.p up, and was a NUT!!!people and money would flow..people love seeing frea.ks!

You’re so FUNNY and so RIGHT!!!! Tom’s got it all at his fingertips if he’ll just do a TRUE autobiography and follow-up with the movie. Love it!
