Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like we're in for a few big WW2 movies next year. We have VALKYRIE which Singer is doing with Tom Cruise and we also have this flick. Ed Zwick (GLORY, BLOOD DIAMOND) is knocking one out called DEFIANCE with Daniel Craig in the lead and the newly announced Liev Schreiber, Jamie Bell, Alexa Davalos and Tomas Arana will fill in the cast.

Craig, Schreiber and Bell will play three Jewish brothers living in Poland during the German occupation. They flee to the Belarussian Forest where they end up joining the Russian resistance. This group ends up building a village in this forest, saving over 1,000 Jews during the war. Tomas Arana (who you'll probably remember most from GLADIATOR) will play the leader of the resistance and Alexa Davalos will play a Polish refugee and love interest. Davalos was in CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK and you'll see her in a few months in Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST.

As Phil Hartman once said, "I think World War 2 was my favorite war..." I'm a sucker for a good WW2 movie. You?
