		<description><![CDATA[

It would seem that Tom Cruise's career is destined to be haunted by the spectre of his personal life for the rest of its duraton- already widely castigated for his infamously ill-advised comments and odd public behaviour, Cruise is creeping towards becoming a caricature of himself and has already had to "relaunch" his career even at his relatively young age. Valkyrie was billed as just that relaunch (his cameo in Tropic Thunder was vaguely enjoyable, though he was overused, and doesnt count as a proper step towards the relaunch, though it did suggest a self-awareness that had seemed obviously absent prior to it), but even that was in danger of falling foul of his personal life. Indeed it was Cruise's near-legendary affiliation with Scientology that almost put the nail in the coffin of Singer's on-location German shooting schedule: the real Colonel von Stauffenberg's son's reaction to the actor's attachment to his father's personal story says it all: “Scientology is a totalitarian religion. The fact that an avowed Scientologist like Mr. Cruise is supposed to play the victim of a totalitarian regime is purely sick.”

But it seems that just as with his infamous couch-prancing activities and comments about psychiatry being a "Nazi ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Released to coincide with the cinema bow of Brian Singer’s VALKYRIE, writer/Director Jan-Pierre Isbouts’ OPERATION VALKYRIE: THE STAUFFENBERG PLOT TO KILL HITLER arrives on DVD- no doubt seeking to bask in the reflected glory of Tom Cruise and Co. The documentary is a composite of re-enactments, computer animation, personal footage, current interviews and archive footage to tell the story of the infamous conspiracy to kill Hitler.



I thought it prudent to go and see Singer’s filmic account before embarking on what initially looked an exciting documentary telling the same, now familiar story of Colonel Von Stauffenberg’s failed attempt to kill Hitler. I’m fully aware now that only a small minority of people don’t know the story- considering the renewed media attention afforded it, so I wont bore you with the sordid details.

Now, as much as I enjoyed Singer’s attempt (and 1994’s superior STAUFFENBERG) there is part of me that will always be attracted to my Sunday morning History Channel fix. Documentaries really do fire my engine: the twin sisters of pathos and Hollywood stylistics often sour the facts, so whenever a factual account becomes available I feel immediately compelled to seek it out.

It’s a shame then that OPERATION VALKYRIE attempts to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The UK release of VALKYRIE is imminent, so here at OWF we decided to catch up with Christopher McQuarrie [CM] and Nathan Alexander [NA] to get some behind the scenes gossip on this huge release. Enjoy!

The film was a bit like those old classics you now see on TV at the holiday season like WHERE EAGLES DARE, THE GUNS OF NAVARONE...
CM: Yup. That was our inspiration. We really liked THE GREAT ESCAPE and WHERE EAGLES DARE. In fact, in the earlier cut when a character walked into the room there would be the titles under them. Unfortunately a contemporary American audience couldn't take that. When we tested it they kept saying 'there's so many characters to keep track of!' and we were just thinking that there aren't a lot of characters in this movie. But when we pulled that out it kind of went away. They must've been thinking that because they were reading it they'd have to remember who that person is!
In some ways the movie sound like the set-up for a bad joke doesn't it? You've got a one-armed assassin, with one eye, and the good hand is missing fingers.
CM: That was our gag on the set, you'd ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's a happy day for the global community when Hollywood stereotypes are shed. Gone are the days when Germans were the uniformed baddies chasing all-American heroes, blindly following the orders of evil, we have now entered a new era. Now the Germans ARE all-American heroes. That's right, Tom "You can't handle the truth" Cruise plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg - a German nobleman who led an audacious attempt to assassinate Hitler.

In some ways, bringing in Bryan Singer as director and Tom Cruise as the lead was an ingenious move. It has the obvious benefit of attracting people to a historical drama, a genre not noted for its popularity. It also means the production benefits from two giants of Hollywood action movies, and thus can draw on an illustrious history of blockbusters to make this one a success. More than this though, it offers a route into the spirit of the times through the side door. For you see German military types, particularly those of the nobility who were very proud of their nation, tended to be incredibly bombastic, forthright and generally pretty gung-ho. These attributes tie in perfectly with the kind of all-American action heroes associated with Cruise, and with ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw the trailer for VALKYRIE this week on the big screen for the first time and I have to say, it just heightens my previous fears that Tom Cruise is so not right for this World War II picture. He is bringing his intense acting gig, which of course we expect from him and he's perfected it down the years but in this environment it makes him look camp and ridiculous.

Maybe it's that damn eye patch, the stiffness of his line delivery, the decision not to use an accent or the uniform. I don't know what it is but none of Cruise works in this film.

He brings far too much attention to himself. It's a Tom Cruise vehicle, that shouldn't be a Tom Cruise vehicle. He is the odd American coming to a fully packed dinner of established and distinguished Brits but the sad thing is, he is suppose to be the German. It's an awful casting and career choice quite frankly and that's coming from a huge Cruise fan.



I think we have become more sophisticated with our World War II pictures in this decade to allow Hollywood to get away with productions like this. We want to see ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm a little burned out now with VALKYRIE. Today marks the release of the final trailer for Bryan Singer's new movie which again promotes the film in a different way to the previously cut trailers.

This time United Artists have gone for the summer tentpole feel, adding the musical score from the SAW movies to crank up the tension. Who knew that the Jigsaw killer is actually Adolf Hitler?


CLICK HERE TO SEE THE TRAILER

With DOWNFALL and BLACK BOOK, in recent years the bar has been heavily raised by foreign studio productions for movies involving Hitler's Nazi Germany. Sadly when watching this trailer, you can't help but feel Hollywood is still slugging behind.

Not that the movie looks bad, I just don't think it can match up. Still love the talent involved here... some great British characters actors who usually I'm delighted to see just ONE of in a movie.

VALKYRIE opens Dec. 26th in the U.S. and January 30th in the U.K. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hot on the heels of the first poster artwork for VALKYRIE comes a confidently cut and intense trailer which just goes to show how movies can live and die by their commercial reels.

The one we saw nearly a year ago virtually killed the movie and indeed it was so bad, United Artists kept changing their release and had to come up with a whole new marketing campaign for the movie. It's been a long time in coming but their movie will perform much stronger on the case of this evidence.



SEE THE TRAILER IN HD HERE

This is much more like the Bryan Singer of X-MEN and THE USUAL SUSPECTS, interesting and inventive camera angles and a reliance on character to create atmosphere.

I enjoyed the glimpse at the desert war fare, a scene which I would guess may have been part of the extra re-shoots to amp up the action. That looked fun, the ticking time bomb score makes for an intense trailer but it would be a brave thing to have that in the movie itself.

I do wish though the movie wasn't so heavily promoted as a Tom Cruise vehicle.

VALKYRIE opens December 26th. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Artists and actor/producer/studio head Tom Cruise have released the first poster for the Christmas release VALKYRIE which doesn't fail in catching the eye.

I like the poster quite a bit, it's different to the usual WW-II story and hopefully gets across the message that this is a big ensemble piece.



Based on an actual group of men led by Col. Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) the film will depict Operation Valkyrie, the attempt by British and German officers to assassinate Hitler during the height of his Nazi power.

David Bamber plays Hitler. Tom Wilkinson, Eddie Izzard, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Terrence Stamp, Carice Van Houten, Kevin McNally and Thomas Kretschmann support what is a fine ensemble cast.

The film, given a PG-13, is Bryan Singer's first non superhero film since his movie about an aging Nazi war criminal in APT PUPIL ten years ago.

		<description><![CDATA[After very positive test screenings, Bryan Singer's first non superhero movie in ten years, his Adolf Hitler WW-II assassination movie Valkyrie is back to being a 2008 release.

MGM are releasing the film on Boxing Day (December 26th 2008) and it will be heavily promoted as an awards candidate.


Originally, Valkyrie had been setup as a late Summer 08 release before bad buzz and some re-shoots pushed back the film to a quiet and strange February open, to late for any awards chance. But now it's back as an 08 release and for the first time in many months we have some positive news on the film.

Based on an actual group of men led by Col. Claus von Sauffenberg (Tom Cruise) the film will depict Operation Valkyrie, the attempt by British and German officers to kill Hitler during the height of his power.

David Bamber plays Hitler. Tom Wilkinson, Eddie Izzard, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Terrence Stamp, Carice Van Houten, Kevin McNally and Thomas Kretschmann support what is a fine ensemble cast.

You can see the rather odd and almost camp trailer for the film HERE.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks guys for all your responses towards the Valkyrie trailer which I erroneously stated on Sunday was brand new. It would appear miraculously that it passed me by even though I'm normally a mad man in this war room I call my office, keeping up with the latest tactical developments in the movie world.





It would appear that the negative reaction which I always found a slight mystery originally stemmed from the bad word of mouth from said trailer and I can really see why. It's clear that U.A. are formulating a plan for a better advertising campaign this time around.

I was informed today by a P.R. company working on Valkyrie that we can expect a new trailer for the movie very soon. Let's hope the new cutting and the re-shoots that we know definitely have taken place have sparked new life into what at one point was looking like a potential "film of the year" candidate.

This one is not a lost cause yet. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the writing and directing team that brought us The Usual Suspects, this WW-II Tom Cruise vehicle has been the subject of much discussion over the last 18 months and I've had a general sense of feeling from the web that most people are already saying the film was a failure.

I know that can't be possible as it's not out until February but with all the problems the film has endured during production and the negative press over Cruise playing a Nazi including his problems over shooting at German historical sites because of his religion, any mention of this film has left a sour taste in people's mouths.

Now comes the trailer, courtesy of Variety and we can now officially start to have an opinion over what the film will be like.

There is a very slight sense of campness about the trailer but I think that is possibly heightened more by the awful music and the quick cutting together of scenes. I'm sure the final product will carry a far more serious tone, as The Usual Suspects did.



Tom Cruise mis-cast? That's been at the heart of the pre-trailer discussion and I have to say they may have been right - or ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Filming began over a year ago on Bryan Singer's next movie, his WW-II thriller Valkyrie but he hasn't finished shooting everything he wanted just yet.

Variety's Peter Bart has informed us on his blog that Tom Cruise has donned his eye patch once more and returned to film three extra days of shooting. No word on why there was a delay...
Cruise will be shooting three scenes in North Africa within the next three weeks. In one, his character, Col. Claus Von Stauffenberg, is badly injured but survives, a key moment in the film’s first act.
Bart goes on to tell us that people he trusts who have seen Valkyrie in it's current form claim it's "a superb thriller".

He also notes that Cruise is adamant on releasing the movie through his U.A. on Friday 13th February 2009. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smart, smart move from the Weinsteins - and how often have I been able to say that for the past couple of years?

As Bryan Singer keeps pushing back his World War II ensemble drama Valkyrie, those two prolific studio execs have been scouring the back catalogue of foreign cinema and recently picked up the distribution rights to a 2004 German movie titled Operation Valkyrie.

The movie tells the exact same detailed plot about the failed assassination attempt on the life of Adolf Hitler during the height of his reign as next year's Hollywood version starring Tom Cruise.

The German version stars Sebastian Koch who you will recognise from two movies that have already made it to English language shores Black Book and The Lives of Others and was actually developed as a made for t.v. feature.

With the right marketing campaign... this could put a small dent in Singer's movie but let's not lose our heads, it probably won't effect it at all. Extremely rarely does the second film dealing with the exact same subject fare well at the box office because most people aren't interested in seeing the same film twice, just with different actors in the same roles HOWEVER this is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In what is claimed to be purely a tactical move, the much hyped second big film from the newly reformed United Artists - the WWII thriller Valkyire - will now open on February 13th next year, attempting to take advantage of the President's Day Weekend. The film was previously slotted for an October 08 release.

Universal's remake of The Wolf Man was originally set to open on that February weekend but has also been pushed back, probably because of that brief delay they had with finding a replacement director after Mark Romanek's sudden departure. All being well that film should now open April 3rd 2009.

While I'm at it, news leaked a few days ago that the much anticipated adaptation of The Time Traveler's Wife has moved from a June release - to a November opening. The only reason I can think of is due to the recent sale of New Line to Warner Bros. who might want to change it's marketing campaign for the film.

Valkyrie will now play opposite the Isla Fischer chick flick Confessions of a Shopaholic and the new Friday the 13th redo.
"MGM is proud and excited to be presenting 'Valkyrie,' and because of that we want to give ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a small treat from the new Empire Magazine which hits the stands tomorrow (Friday) in the U.K...

It's a shot of Bryan Singer working with some of the actors on the set of the now completed Valkyrie (shooting wise at least) and shows two of the main actors from the movie, vets Tom Cruise (after well over two decades, can we call him a vet now?) and Bill Nighy. At least I think that's Bill Nighy in the photo!

Don't think I need to tell you the plot of Valkyrie once again at this point, you should all know it by now. And if you don't, then get the hell off my site damnit. You don't deserve to lurk these paths!

One of the best cast movies of 2008 for my money and one of the coolest plots too. I really hope this is Singer getting back into the groove and with this being an October release, there is every chance it will be jostling out for the Oscars next year.

Speaking of movies I can't wait for, said issue of Empire are devoting much of this month's issue towards the new Indiana Jones flick. Which reminds me... where is that damn second ...]]></description>
