VALYKRIE to be released December 26th!

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. source - aicn
