"You can serve Germany or the Fuhrer, not both!" - VALKYRIE trailer!

by Matt Holmes

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.
