Black Book star joins cast of Valkyrie

By Matt Holmes /

Man, I'm so glad Bryan Singer is directing this WWII movie over Superman: The Man of Steel. This is exactly the type of project he needs to banish the memory of that disappointing superhero movie. And just look at this latest bit of casting. Carice van Houten! She was absolutely superb in the Paul Verhoeven movie Black Book, one of my favourite performances of the year actually and now the thought of her doing another WWII picture... makes me really happy! This will mark van Houten's first Hollywood movie (as Black Book was made in Holland but done in the English language) though she has been heavily rumored to be the next Bond Girl. In Valkyrie, she will be playing the role of Tom Cruise's wife. Interestingly the story from Coming Soon says that Patrick Wilson, Bill Nighy, Stephen Fry and Tom Wilkinson ARE all cast along with Kenneth Branagh so Latino Review got it 100% spot on once again. Shooting begins next month in Berlin. Can't wait for this. source - nu
