First Valkyrie Pic Revealed

Show me your photos!

The release date's still a ways off, but the first image of Tom Cruise in Valkyrie has already made its way onto the interwebs.

Starring Cruise as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg and with direction by Bryan Singer from a Christopher McQuarrie script, Valkyrie follows Stauffenberg as a turncoat within the Nazi empire.  Shooting began today in Germany, and this photo depicts Cruise with (presumably) the briefcase bomb intended for Hitler.

Valkyrie will be out August 8, 2008. But, for now, let us behold Nazi Tom with eye patch.
 

By the way, how many have noticed IMDb currently listing Valkyrie as Rubicon?

I just think he looks a little silly in this particular picture, however I have complete confidence in the movie.

If executed properly (pun intended) this will be a great film...Tom doesnt look silly per se...its just those campy uniforms

Tom is a very talented actor, and if you check his movies on rotten tomatoes, most are certified fresh, reiterating the fact, that most often than not, his movies are good too.

Looks like a still shot from some gay Nazi WWII porno film. Is the eyepatch covering up that lazy eye working overtime in A FEW GOOD MEN. Seriously though, Cruise is no longer a revelant actor. His public flaunting of percieved importance shows that the man is nothing more than a by-product of Hollywood.

So in other words, gratefuldawg, your not a fan of film... Just the persons life outside it defines their work. I see, so let me get this straight. A film is supposed to take us to another place, being a different genre is a different place; it allows us to escape reality for that very moment when all is down. Yet, a persons real character out side their work is supposed to effect the escapism that film lets us have? I'm a bit confused here.

So you would be quite happy watching a paedophile portray someone else on the big screen as long as YOU were immersing yourself into the fantasy of film!!!
I know he isn't a paedophile, I am making a point and that point is that your logic is flawed :)

Actually your logic is flawed because Cruise who we're referencing hasn't done anything criminal. Being odd is still not a crime in most countries of the world. As long as he makes entertaining movies he can be as weird as he wants to be off it within criminal limits of course.

Actually if you had read my post properly you would have understood that I was linking the relevance between an actors real life personality and how it can affects his movie persona in the eyes of movie-goers.

To reply to your statemtent, I absolutley love film, if not I would've plunked down $20 to see CHUCK&LARRY. But film though it provides escapism is also art. To discredit film as less is truly illogical and would point the finger of "film hater" towards yourself. True art is considered in the eye of the beholder, but there's a reasons why velvet Elvis and Clown paintings aren't hanging next to Whistlers Mother. Im merely pointing out like other's that Cruise among a few of todays top actor's; aren't actors. Their a product or "Movie Star", call it Hilton Phenom or what have you, being hyped upon the public, unfortunately people buy into the fantasy and allow for ****ty careers to prosper.

Nevermind that Tom Cruise is starring in this movie (which who I think is a terrific actor), but this movie also marks a long-awaited reunion for "Usual Suspects" director and writer, Singer and McQuarrie. Doesn't come out for awhile, but looks fairly decent so far.

Cruise is one of the best actors in Hollywood today. Hopefully he'll get the accent right.

"Hopefully he'll get the accent right"

What are you talking about? All Germans in this movie will of course speak English, so there won't be any accents. Why would he have a German accent speaking English?

Also if Hollywood has taught us nothing it's that nazi's and all other evil doers speak with a British accent :)

Cruise just really annoys me when i see him, but he was great in south park ;)

"a terrific actor" in my opinion, is someone who is versatile and has the ability to really disappear into their role and actually "become" their character. gary oldman is the first example that comes to my mind, but of course there are many others. whenever i watch a tom cruise movie, i immediately know i'm watching tom cruise. don't get me wrong, he's been in plenty of good movies, i just feel he has very little range and is more of a "movie star" than an actor.

HaaHaa! He looks like Fearless Leader from Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Great actor, despite his crazy personal life. All the offscreen attention given to him is just a product of this tabloid, over-exposed bull***** society. Twenty years ago, he'd just be another excellent (no not Oldman level) actor who's been married a couple of times with kids.
Movies are escapism, get over it. If you are sitting there watching this movie and still thinking of his couch jumping, then you are a shallow moron.

That still does not excuse MI:2 or Vanilla Sky.

Bah, Vanilla Sky was great.
