BLACKBOOK hottie Carice Van Houten has joined the Bryan Singer, Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise WW2 flick VALKYRIE!!!

Published at:  Jun 13, 2007 5:45:24 PM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. This project sounds great. A men on a mission WW2 flick written by Christopher McQuarrie, directed by Bryan Singer and starring Tom Cruise, Kenneth Branagh and now the gorgeous Carice Van Houten. Rumor has it she's playing Cruise's character's wife. Remember, she's also supposed to be the next Bond girl as well.

The story originated here... in Dutch!!!

This project keeps looking better and better. And more Carice Van Houten is always good news.

    Which WWII theater?

    by keblar

    I wonder where this'll take place. Everyone always wants to make WWII films about Europe where the US kicked ass. Why does the Bloody Pacific get ignored so much? Is it because we got our ass kicked back so much there?
    ------------------

    I Like Singer's work, but I don't think I want to see Tom Cruise bastardizing the image of G.I. Joe. Not that I was a fan before, but his run in War of the Worlds was so awful it made me want to ignore anything with his name attached. He's lucky he had Abrams to make him look good in MI:III. I'm sure getting to play off of Philip Seymour Hoffman didn't hurt either.

Seriously though, regardless of what you think about the whacked out little scientologist, anyone who can ride their cruise missle from Mimi Rogers to Nicole Kidman to Penelope Cruz to Katie Holmes aint *that* far gone...Anyway, really looking forward to this flick personally.

    b) Bryan Singer isn't insane like Paul Verhoeven and spends a whole day filming a sequence where Carice is covered in human shit.

    "Mmmmmmm" is right, Banned

    by georges garvaren

    This is defiantly a 'Mmmmmmmmmmm' type situation. On one hand: every Cruise film is more than acceptable as a piece of worthwhile cinema. In the other hand: we have Singer, who has some real poopers under his belt. If its an 'R' rating then I'm in like Flint. If its 'PG', then I'm going to strangle the homeless vagrant that sleeps in the park behind my house. Bry-Bry; if you screw another one up, murder and 'Superman Returns' will be on your hands. Keep that shit in mind, Sissy. TB'ers love movies more than you do. We are sick, sick beasts that should be shunned by all decent, Lord-fearing folk. Cheerfully, you're far from decent, so don't let us down! (And don't let Cruise put that Voodoo curse on you. He's 100% Alien Free, don't cha know?)

    That's not Dutch, it seems to be a combination of Dutch and German. I do get what he wants to say however, which in Dutch spells as 'de actrice Carice is erg lekker en ze maakt me hard in mijn broek': an immature remark about getting an erection from the hotness that is Carice.

    so one of the two directors in hollywood best known for being gay gets cruise for his next movie. anyone else think the scientologists are behind this?

    I've enjoyed many of Craig's movies. I even liked watching Casino Royale. I just feel they have nothing to do with James Bond as portrayed in all the other films excluding License To Kill, which had even less to do with James Bond than Casino Royale.

    by just pillow talk

    We knew it was coming, but it still sucks any sort of animal's balls.Spandau Belly...while I enjoyed the previous Bonds to varying levels, I much prefer Craig's Bond. Especially if the follow-up is in the same tone as the first. Once Craig's run is done, we can go back to gadget Bond if you want..

  • Jun 14, 2007 12:01:22 PM CDT

    Agreed, Pillow Talk

    by spandau belly

    I would actually love it if Craig's Bonds have a plan for a story that gets told over the course of his run as Bond. Surely the producers now know that Bond will be around forever but each generation will have a new take, so they should plan to have an arc the develops over four or five films planned for Craig and his successors.I don't think Craig has what it takes to pull off the humour and absurdity of the other non-Dalton Bonds, so I'd rather that they kept the tone the same as Casino Royale for the remainder of Craig's run. But as soon as that's over I want more absurdity like You Only Live Twice or Goldeneye.

    Carice van Houten is dating her "Black book" costar, Sebastian Koch, who played von Stauffenberg in a TV movie a couple of years ago and I highly doubt Cruise can equal him, at least he is German. So there is no chance of romance with Cruise.
