Although Superman hasn't returned ... yet, director Bryan Singer has been hard at work on a film that's temporarily removed him from the comic book world and placed him right smack in the middle of World War II. The Daily Mail has published the first photo featuring the seven men who plotted out a mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler on July 20, 1944. In front of the men -- and printed off Google Maps -- is their ill-fated plan. Is it just me, or do these guys look like they mean business? Pictured from left are actors Kevin McNally, Christian Berkel, Bill Nighy, Tom Cruise, Terrence Stamp, David Schofield and Kenneth Branagh.
Apart from the photo, The Daily Mail also provides a brief bio for each of the men. Unfortunately for each of the seven, since this was such a dangerous plot, if they were to fail it would most likely cost them their lives. And, as we all should know -- spoiler alert -- they were not able to kill Hitler. Thus, reading the ways in which each man perished was rather, um, depressing. With a screenplay from Nathan Alexander and Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects), Valkyrie is set to arrive in theaters on June 27, 2008.

Too bad about Branagh as even his greatness won't get me to this turd. Cruise and hack director-McG-ish Bryan Singer making a film together...I'd rather eat glass and poop railroad cars.

The movie looks powerful from that picture. So looking forward to see it.

Branagh has already played a really bad Nazi (Eichman's boss and architect of the "Final Solution) and now he's playing a "good" one.
And yes, historically based movies like Titanic have to try extra hard when everyone knows that they'll end in pain and tragedy (meat hooks and piano wire).

What? This has Tom Cruise in it? No thanks. I don't want him getting anymore of my money.

Looks good to me. Didn't know Stamp (General Zod!) and Kevin McNally (Mr. Tibbs). As for the Cruise and Singer haters, skip this if you wish, but you'll be the ones missing out--and find something better to do than trash them while you're at it. Tom's proven himself to be a good actor (Born on the 4th of July, Magnolia, Rain Man) and Bryan Singer convinced me with X-Men and X2 that superhero movies could be intelligent and enjoyable.

Whoops! Meant to say that I didn't know that McNally and Stamp were going to be in this (I do indeed know of them!).

I always go to Cruise movie. he's such a great actor, very powerful and charismatic; the looks help, but hell! in Eyes Wide Shut, he BLOW ME AWAY. HE IS HUGE AND DESERVE THREE OSCARS ALREADY. WILL GET IT.
Please Cruise pussy haters, stay away from Cruise's terrific movies, we don't want you to whine and cry in the theaters. Stupid media drones!
