Picture of the Cast from Bryan Singer’s “Valkyrie”
Valkyrie is the official working title for an upcoming film currently in production that will be directed by Bryan Singer and will star Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Izzard, Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Terrence Stamp. The film is based on the July Plot of German officials to assassinate Hitler. See the cast photo below:

In June 2007, prior to production, Germany’s Defense Ministry spokesperson Harald Kammerbauer said that filming of Valkyrie would not be allowed to take place on the country’s military sites if the protagonist Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was portrayed by Tom Cruise, a follower of Scientology, considered a masquerade of religion by Germany. Kammerbauer also said that the ministry had not received official filming requests from the film’s producers. Later in the month, the ministry reneged its stance and welcomed production of Valkyrie.
I have high hopes for this film, even if it stars douche bag supreme Tom Cruise. The cast is remarkable and the plot is suspenseful and action packed. This is the same formula that helped “The Bourned Ultimatum” when it was released around the same time this summer.
