So Valkyrie (which some news outlets now believe to be called Rubicon, ew!) has now begun principal photography in Berlin and a press release has turned up online with the some official stills of Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the man who led the assassination attempt on Hitler for ‘Operation Valkyrie’.
Above is an image which shows the resemblance of Cruise to Stauffenberg and below is a full shot image of Cruise in his German military attire, sporting an eye patch at the same time.
Really looking forward to seeing this. Bryan Singer back to shooting a full on serious film from his Usual Suspects scribe Christopher McQuarrie and with the likes of Tom Cruise, Carice Van Houten, Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard involved… how can you possibly not be?
Thanks to Rope of Silicon for the heads-up!

I’m excited now!
Just saw Valkyrie..phenomenal. Repudiates all the anti German films filling the air. Stauffenberg is a true German patriot who wanted to do the right thing. for his country. The film depicts him in a good light and all those Germans who wanted to stop the madness by killing the monster. nine months later, he did German, and all of us of German descent a favor. Wonderful film, broadens the scope of the historical picture. About time.
