Valkyrie
Director:
Bryan Singer
Stars: Tom Cruise, Bill Nighy, Carice van Houten
Studio: United Artists
The Plot: Near the end of WWII, Claus von Stauffenberg (Cruise) leads to group of fellow German army colonels in an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler; the event would later be called the July 20 Plot of 1944.
With each release-date change, our interest in Valkyrie only increases. Will it become known as the title that topples the dissolved United Artists partnership between Tom Cruise and longtime producing partner Paula Wagner, or will it mark the successful reunion of director Bryan Singer and Usual Suspects writer Christopher McQuarrie, who haven’t worked together since they made one another famous? With the movie’s action/thriller angle slickly ratcheted up, we expect it to combat everything working against its potential success: myriad production woes (including a late-stage shooting delay that caused the release date to be pushed back from the July 4th holiday); the public’s disinterest in T.C.; said public’s recent indifference to war movies; holiday competition. Still, the look is right, insiders seem to want it to succeed, and T.C. is enjoying an Oscar push for his Tropic Thunder cameo; if the creative team here reaches its zenith, this is exactly the sort of fare that will get adults into the multiplex during the holidays.
