VALKYRIE is coming December 26th, 2008!!!
Hey folks, Harry here -- Just got off the phone with an official at MGM that called to let me know that VALKYRIE - which was once set for release on October 3rd, then moved to President's Day in February - well... it has again been moved. Due to the strength of their recent test screenings, they seem to feel the film is strong enough to play in the Holiday season. I'm hoping that MGM is going to push VALKYRIE as a possible Awards Film - by releasing it on December 26th of this year! That's right - KWANZAA is going to have some Hitler assassinating awesomeness!
Speaking of which, I recently picked up a fantastic CD of music that's related to all of this.
I love weird old music and when I saw this CD - I had to own it. Instantly. It has some crazy Woody Guthrie stuff, the classic DER FUEHRER'S FACE by Spike Jones and an amazing AMERICAN DEFENSE by Son House. My favorite piece though is "Round & Round Hitler's Grave" by The Almanac Singers. It's just so pleasant when you here a folk song about cutting Hitler's head off.
I know that has nothing to do with Singer's VALKYRIE, but I'm just thrilled to see a positive move on the release date - and the confidence to make it a contender in the Awards season! This is great news!

because of the kerfuffle at UA with Paula Wagner?
-
Was hoping the Captain Panaka spinoff movie was going to open on this day. Then we finally see the true reason why he was a such cynical, eye patched bastard.
-
Badly.
-
that was so good, they had to move up for awards consideration. uh-huh. right. i totally believe that. Question: was the test screening anywhere but the "we need good buzz" dept at MGM/UA? Didn't think so...
-
That's all I can say. I loved the script, and trust Singer and team implicitly.
-
Bring on the THUNdaaaaa!
-
can't wait to see this
-
Or maybe they're gonna pit him against Heath for the supporting category thanks to Tropic Thunder? Too bad I'll never see a Cruise film on theaters again, Chris McQuarrie reportedly made a good job. Shame.
-
Just in case anyone didn't know.
-
Before it got bumped to October?
-
They don't kill Hitler.
-
thanks for for the spoiler man geez!!
-
GIVE IN TO YOUR LUST!
-
Folk music is my favorite!!! I fucking love Woody Guthrie!!
-
Hope the word of mouth is as strong as they say
-
This is really great news. I've been waiting to see this film for sometime now, and on frequent occasions MGM has given this film dubious release dates, but I think a Christmas release date is perfect for this type of film. Hopefully it won't suck now, cause it's an awesome story.
-
but nevermind that - let's all bitch and moan about the accents...
-
that plagued xmen 1 and 2 and superman returns, hopefully singer will leave those things at home this time, the s&m outfits, the bulging crotch superunderwear at asscrack level, the leather cape, the "why wont society accept our ways" cryfests.
-
Saw a special on the Military Channel where they reenacted the bombing. Pretty interesting stuff. If Hilter had been standing fully upright or even a few feet one way he would have died.
-
But I'll be sitting this one out. Again, the only movie I will break my embargo on that has Tom Cruise is Tropic Thunder.
-
lol. Cruise's ego moves the release date for the fifth time. Nothing says Christmas Ho Ho Ho, like eye-patched, SoCal-accented Nazi dramas.
Fincher's Benjamin Button will be using Valkyrie as toilet. Ho Ho Ho. -
It's a fantastic novel.
-
Mustn't forget the paper part. Ho Ho Ho.
-
the sci-fi movie that the guy from BSG is writing?
-
Best Actor, Tom 4-Ever
-
...or moved back because it's shit and needs another dozen edits and a few pick-ups?
-
he was funny in Tropic Thunder... dancing was kinda stupid though. but his ass was owned by Matthew McCantspellhisname. his small part was the funniest in the movie for me. 'please don't fire me'
-
"Do you care when it's released?" "Hell, no--just get it over with." "Then release it the day after Christmas and tell everyone it's for award season" (winks) "Holy crap, that's a great idea."
-
...Film still reeks of crapness, but the feedback must have been positive for that kind of change. I'm an easy touch for war movies, so I'm still gonna see it, regardless of that dead weight Tom Cruise, and my growing belief that Bryan Singers entire career is actually Christopher McQuarries.

Does this have anything to do with Paula Wagner getting axed?
by the winged doucheman
UA needs a hit like a crackhead needs a hit.
-
Heil!!!
-
Fincher is the superior director, and the reviews are still out, but as it stands now, I'd rather pay to see a big-budget ensemble thriller about the assassination of Hitler than a 3-hour, depressing romance with Pitt and Blanchett.
-
Santa is an anagram for Satan.
-
that story needs to be told, and the origin of his pure alabama black snake.
-
Do you want a a fantasy romance adventure for Christmas, or a homoerotic misogynistic tale about Adolph Hitler acted with a bunch of dudes playing Germans with American accents? No fucking contest...

But that's for another movie. A better one, too, without a doubt.
-
The guy is an overrated hack!
Nuff said! -
And F-U to all the Superman Returns HATERS.
-
Where a bunch of them anonymous types wouldnt be out protesting it I guess.....the Xenu haters must be getting desperate, though I actually wonder why they hadnt come up with this before.Oh regardless this will suck more than a 10 cent HO and be the final nail in the midgets career.
-
A Brian Singer film? Hmm, that equals to 48 seconds of action, homoerotic angst, antiheroes shunned by society and beaten by thugs,and anticlimaxes featuring hospitals. Is MGM still releasing that Tom Cruise TOP SECRET! still - the one with the baggy pants and the patch?
-
Now Eichmann! now, Gobbels! now, Goring and Himmler!
On, Kaufmann! On, Mengele! on, Riefenstahl and Rudin!
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
Happy Christmas to all, and a smashing Third Reich! -
Pulled, yanked, torn, limps out of theatres by Jan 29, 2009. Trust.
-
and feel the need to explain that fact at every opportunity. They're the same self important douchebags who bleat on about their precious tax dollars and property values. No one cares.
-
"Valkyrie...is about to die."
-
I just want to punch Harry in the face.
-
Ja or Nein?! Ja or Nein?!?!
-
all we need ia another video game movie so we can kick ass.
-
I don't care about Tom Cruise in another Singer "I am out of place in this world" film. Does this film need to do well or flop to get him off Superman?
-
no retards!!!!

Tom: "Show me ... zee deutschmarks."

Its the main reason am hoping it belly flops like a fat man hitting a small puddle.Dont wants a Singer directed Superman.Oh and Harry is either having a laugh with the awards thing or hes deluded or or hes a plant.
-
red skinned black horned pitchfork and a pronged tipped tail. nothing even close to red and white fluffy chubby singing sleigh driving saint of christmas. one gives you gifts based on how good you were for the year. one trades fame and pussy for your soul. there are no similarities. how the hell dipshits like you fucking get them confused is beyond me. besides the fact that there's not even really a satan in the first place. what the fuck? did santa drop some coal in your stocking once? you shouldn't have blown your cousin then. don't do the crime if you aren't gonna deal with the coal in your stocking. it's not difficult. fucking liberals.

At Christmas time, the world sings praises to decorated pine trees. Few people realize that tree worship began in ancient heathen Babylon. Jeremiah 10:2 reads, "Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold..." The whole concept of decorating a tree at Christmas time is pagan in origin, not taught in the Word of God. Christmas is not taught in the Bible. In fact, God doesn't even tell us the date when Jesus was born. It's not an issue with God. The important message is that God sent His Son into the world to save sinners. The main message that we should recognize is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
-
Am I the only one who, despite his off camera insanity, still enjoys Tom Cruise as an actor?
-
If there was a test screening then where was it and when will we see a review here for it... a review that doesn't reek of leaves and bark!?
-
...I hope THE DARK KNIGHT gets some well-deserved love from the Academy. The music, the cinematography, performances, even the make up, and let's not forget the powerful directing. This film was a cinematic triumph.
-
...awful, with Cruise looking supremely ridiculous, eyepatched in a Nazi uniform. This is not going to be good.
-
There was a review here from a screening the other day. Do a little research.
-
reviewed here last week - who's got the link?
-
does he still have the only american accent in the film? the trailer seemed that way, which made it look hilarious....should we call it "Disaster Movie 2:Valkyrie"??
-
Agreed. Now that Singer has Cruise vs Hitler off his slate, maybe he can move forward with the next Superman installment. Move forward OR hand the reigns to someone else for godsake!!! Just get a damn move on!
-
Is "Blew up Hitler" this year's "Little Miss Nuked the Fridge"? Like, "That movie really Blew up Hitler, didn't it Bob?" "It sure did, Carl."
-
Christmas ITSELF was a pagan holiday. Take THAT to the bank.
-
Because he could not. How do I know ? Oh wait, he's done it before and it was SO WRONG on SO MANY LEVELS. New Superman movie please.

Panaka didn't have an eyepatch (Ep 1). In Ep 2 Typho was the similar dude with an eyepatch. Now please excuse me as I go shoot myself in the face for knowing that and posting.

with a great supporting cast... even with cuckoo Cruise - love him or hate him you have to admit that the man can do smoldering intensity. Cruise looks somewhat like the real guy to too (PhotoShopped picture or not). As for Singer, I think he is a solid director; The Usual Suspects and X Men 2 are stand outs in my mind. Even Superman Returns was well handled. And before everyone gets on my butt about this, let me explain: Singer had a very difficult job because he had to satisfy at least two distinct groups. There are the cinema fans of Donner's 78 classic and then there are comic book fans who understand the modern material that has progressed and the mythology rewritten at least twice since 78. What we got is a compromise... a film that was good (77% on Rotten Tomatoes) but not great because it tried to serve two masters. My hope is that now that SR serves as the link to the original franchise, the Man of Steel will give Singer the chance to update the story and make it new and fresh and use the mountains of comic book material that has been created since the late 70's. That's if The Man of Steel ever gets off the ground. Anyway, looking forward to a good WW2 thriller... I hope Valkyrie surprises people.
-
One of the worst movies ever made. Bryan Singer will never win a Best Director Oscar.
-
kwisatzhaderach..hand in your geek card.
-
what the Inglorius Tarantino soundtrack is gonna luck like.
-
Yup, they're all shocking directors. I still think Superman Returns is terrible though - a film where every creative decision went south.
-
In the immortal words of Mr Mortensen: "If I want your opinion, i'll give it to you."
-
Just to clarify, I didn't say it was the absolute worst movie ever made, just one of the worst ever made. In fact, i'm getting angry just thinking about the pain of sitting through it.
-
Would rock

Cool post. Undobtedly much of my dislike for Superman Returns stems from the fact that the original Superman was one of my formative cinema experiences and many elements of it, Chris Reeve, Hackman, Brando, Glenn Ford, the beautiful opening 40 minutes, Unsworth's photography, Williams music and the loving, epic treatment of the myth, have stayed with me over the years. SR is a well made film, in that it is competently designed and shot. The script, however, is appalling. The structure is all over the place, there's not one memorable line of dialogue. With a bad storyline and script there's nowhere for the film to go. The leads are bland (particularly Bosworth) and the relationships unbelievable. Spacey's Luthor is a pale imitation of Hackman's. Singer's action sequences are poor, he doesn't have the chops to pull off exciting action sequences. I could go on, but won't (the superkid). I agree that a Burton film would have been worse as his sensibilities seem to be diametrically opposed to what Superman is all about. In the end Superman Returns is a bad film and if I say its one of the worst films ever made it's probably a reflection of how much I was looking forward to the film and how badly I was let down.
-
If this was a negative piece about the film opening in the holiday season, would you have been made to pull it?
-
SR may not be the worst movie, but it's my most hated movie of all time.
-
Although given it's subject matter, the best they could hope for is to break even. But I hope Singer has realised his strengths and weaknesses. He's really quite an old fashioned director and I don't think he has the love for cgi that would be required to truly represent the scale of Superman's powers. Not just lifting and moving fast, but actually making enjoyable story points out of what can only be shown with computer graphics. Superman needs a director who loves visual effects laden stories and delights in the cgi rather than seeing it as another thing to worry about.
-
If they would have included footage of Valerie Perrine's yabbos.

This is the Studio's lame-ass present to the postman so they don't have to buy him a real gift.

I think Cruise has earned an Oscar on several occasions...
by danielkurland
Magnolia, Collateral, Eyes Wide Shut. I don't know, I think he's done a lot of good work.
-
...is currently involved in his most prolonged joke ever or has finally gone completely BOI-OI-OI-OI-OING...
-
But it's a given in the first place that all those movies you listed would be shit. Superman Returns had the potential to be good and blew it. I haven't seen Beowulf, Mummy 3 or the remake of The Hitcher, and never will. There wasn't one enticing image in any of the trailers for those films.
-
As every sensible person knows, the pagan trappings of Christmas were incorporated in order to make Christianity more acceptable to pagan peoples, not to cover up some sort of satanist plot. Hell, they even changed the date.
-
Add Born on the Fourth of July to that list.
-
Apologies, just assumed that last post was meant for me! haha
-
I have been looking forward to this movie for some time. What a wonderful ensemble cast this movie has! I also find Mr Cruise's inclusion in the proceedings to be of interest.And we must never forget that, despite his sons, this is the director of Usual Suspects. Let us not forget this!
-
My post was intended to read "despite his sins" although the mistake caused me to chuckle somewhat when I read it back.
-
And fuck all of you that have forgotten that Singer is DIRECTLY responsible for the new wave of excellent comic book adaptations. Seriously, every director that has decided to take the characters seriously and every producer who allowed the source material to have some dignity were reading the X-men (2000) playbook. And before The Dark Knight, X2 was the greatest comic book movie of the last twenty years(although I won't argue if you say that it's Spider-Man 2). Without Singer's version of X-Men there would have been no Spider-Man, no Batman Begins or TDK, and no Iron Man. And yes, SR was a piece of shit, but a) 1 bad film after four stellar ones, including one of the best crime thrillers of the 90s, ain't bad and b) who fucking cares, Superman is boring anyway and no one will ever outdo the 78 version. And to those complaining of the gay subtext: get over yourselves. Persecution and victimization are INTEGRAL to the themes of X-Men. Yeah, it was excessive in SR, but compare Singer's level of gay to Shumacher's.
-
Wasn't Titanic rumored to be a train wreck because of delayed release dates and/or re-shooting or whatever? Valkyrie could be a good historical based thriller. If it's anything like those Alistair MacClean thrillers I loved from the sixties, it could be cool. And those who can't seperate Cruise's personal life and beliefs, or Bryan Singer sexual persuasion, from their films, need to relax.

I wonder if it's the same song they used in the old English tv series 'Dad's Army'? It has the lyrics 'Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler? If you think old England's done' as sung by Bud Flannagan.
-
This movie will fail at the box office. Cruise' star has fallen, and rightfully so. He's a freaking nut case and now everybody knows it.
-
Did anyone REALLY have doubts about this film simply because of the date change? This isn't exactly like Darkness being left sitting on the shelf. And don't we all complain when movies are rushed through production, simply to meet a date?
film-file.blogspot.com -
It wasn't X-Men in 2000 that laid the ground work for the new waive of Comic Book movies that took their subjects seriously. It was Blade in the late 90's. The success of that film is what laid the groundwork for X-Men to finally be made. Look it up.
-
and superman returns will always be a bland one. Singer is still hit or miss for me and that's the reason I'm giving him another chance.
-
I mean, Valkyrie ! Woo Hoo! Tom might get an Oscar! Wow! Ok, for real though, Singer should be pretty steamed at himself for that debacle of Superman movie he produced Ruined the X-Men Trilogy by ditching it, and then ruined the Superman film by making it his own personal "I have a crush on Superman" Story. Sad sad sad. I mean, Superman deserves way better than he got with "Returns". Is Ridley Scott too busy?
-
Am I to burn my Pulp Fiction DVD? Blow Out is one of my favorite DePalma films..how do I live with the guilt and shame? Travolta's been in Scientology since at least the mid '70s. This don't support Scientology by going to see Tom Cruise movies is ridiculous.
-
This was posted yesterday to mgm.com, and about 15 websites picked it up and wrote about it 24 hours ago.
Unless you're telling me that MGM's list of 'people to call asap' is so long, that it takes 24 whole hours to get down to Harry Knowles on their list, then Im calling this update complete lying bullshit. -
I think Tom Cruise is gonna recieve a heep of good will for the Tropic Thunder performance, which is what the studio was hoping for before releasing VALKYRIE. Now the film can stand on it's own without the Tom Cruise ick factor, which has been following him through his last few film's. For me I can't wait to see this! Personal life aside the guy has made some great films & is good at what he does, & the trailer looks good. Good vibrations on this one messa thinks.
-
I guess the was my way of saying..."VALKYRIE GOTTA EAT!"
To this day, the GAUNTLET video game haunts me. Actually...a live action GAUNTLET movie would have me more interested than Tom's VALKYRIE! I'll wait till it hits HBO.
Can't wait to see him in Tropic tho...I hear he's great. -
Do yourself a favor, or don't, and skip the Sleuth remake. There's is surely talent in front of and behind the camera, its just a misguided take on a great original.Anyone recall the reincarnation thriller he directed, that costarred his then wife? I remember that fondly.

anyway some fat assed farmer two rows ahead gets a cell phone call and proceeds to chat in a normal "im alone in a room" voice for 5 minutes. Someone two rows further up turns around and shines a huge lantern flashlight directly into his face. The fat farmer guy says, "gotta go some jackass is shining a flashlight in my face." and when he hung up, dude with the flashlight turned it back off and turned around.
might have been my favorite moviegoing experience ever. So here's my advice: going to a movie? pack a little hi-power flashlight. -
You are talking about Dead Again, sir. It is a very good movie which I also remember with some degree of fondness although my eyes have not embraced it for some time.It also features the stellar Derek Jacobi amongst the cast who is always marvellous, no matter which role he portrays.

mid 80s or early 90s. It was an 'oversized' comic book almost as big as an unfolded newspaper. And while it had recurring stories, each issue seemed to have random stories in them. I remember one being about a time travelling assassin from the future where the world is dominated by Nazis and their flying robotic metal blimps. The story is told almost entirely via text boxes where the main character is telling us what is going on in a 3rd person monologue voice-over. It talks about having to go back in time to set things back to the right way - to stop someone from enabling Nazi Germany from winning WW2. In the final panes, the main character's sniper scope zooms in to Hitler making a public speech and you think, "aha she's gonna assassinate Hitler and stop Germany cold." but then the scope pans up and zeroes in on ANOTHER TIME TRAVELLING ASSASSIN who is there to shoot Hitler. And she shoots and kills him. In the epilogue, it says something to the effect of, "a living monster is less of a danger than a dead martyr." and then she blinks back out of the timeline.
It was a very very well paced and well done comic story where, despite the predictability of the synopsis, as a reader you don't really see the M.Night twist coming - my point? I'd rather watch that movie instead. -

Fine film. When Emma Thompson started to be freaked out by the random appearance of scissors my friend and I started to think of all the absurd ways the filmmakers could include scissors in every scene. The game finally ended when I suggested they have Kenneth Brannagh drive up in a car with scissors with wheels and bluntly state to Thompson about the car: "practical: no, but stylish: yes."

Here's a snippet from a current New York Observer article ... what it shows is that Obama is a true independent/outsider whose candidacy is a threat to the Rothschild-led Luciferian Zionist Illuminati stranglehold on our two-party dominated republic. In other words, he represents *true democracy* and not government by and for the Satanic elite:
Defiant Clinton Women Refuse To Support Obama
High-Class Hillraisers Still Irate About Barack: ‘She Will Be Nominee’
by Jason Horowitz | August 12, 2008 | Tags: PoliticsBarack ObamaHillary ClintonLynn Forester de Rothschild
This article was published in the August 18, 2008, edition of The New York Observer.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild doesn’t look like a radical.
Surrounded by bike paths, ponds and the Atlantic Ocean in her Martha’s Vineyard farmhouse, not far from where Bill and Hillary Clinton usually summer, the lifelong Democrat and Clinton fund-raiser opened a laptop to her “Together4Us” Web site, an online petition that features Hillary Clinton looking luminous above a series of demands made of Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
Ms. de Rothschild, 54, dressed in matching blue pants and sweater, blond hair tucked behind her ears, said she plans to send copies of the more than 6,000 signatures she has collected to superdelegates, Mr. Obama, his top officials, Howard Dean and officials at the Democratic National Committee, on Aug. 18—the Monday before the Democratic convention.
And she’ll be there, at the convention, to help press those demands, she said, especially including a dramatic overhaul of the nominating process by which Mr. Obama won the primary. She said she was well aware of Mrs. Clinton’s efforts to get Mr. Obama elected, as well as the efforts of the Obama campaign staffers, whom she said she liked, to appease Mrs. Clinton’s supporters. Despite it all, Ms. de Rothschild does not plan to vote for him.
“I think it’s difficult for him to fix it because of the judgments he’s made in the past and his lack of experience,” she said, adding that there was really nothing Mrs. Clinton could do about it. “If we are dissatisfied with Obama as a potential president, Hillary cannot be expected to change our minds.”

gothamburning.blogspot.comI wonder if all the hype surrounding this film will help. I mean, sure, the more we talk about it, the more curiousity will set in and raise the ticket sales. But the expectation for this thing not to be a complete turd will be enormous. Risky move for Tom Cruise, who has one foot in the industry grave since the Oprah mess. If this bombs, kiss Tommy C goodbye. He'll end up starring in his own autobiography on HBO

that people are calling Superman Returns one of the worst movies ever made. It was no classic for sure... But YEESH! have you seen Superman III or IV?! You can honestly say with a straight face that SR is worse than the Pryorific part III or the Nuclear Mantastic part IV? The series may never top Donner's original or even the mixed bag that was Part II (Donner's stuff was great/Lester's not so much), but SR is not even the worst Superman movie, never mind the worst film ever made.

was by itself more enjoyable than all of Superman Lifts.

Everyone is blasting this film.
You have not even seen this.
Maybe, just maybe SInger will make up for that big, fat, steamy, corn filled turd called Superman Returns. -
You know Tom's being very serious when he starts nodding during his dialogue. He means business, folks.

...Just so UA could avoid endless jokes about "Springtime For Hitler". Either way, it has TC-the-cult-nutter in it, so I'll wait for it as a weekly DVD rental instead.
