Things aren't looking so great for Tom Cruise's big new comeback movie Valkyrie. Apparently a big action film about a one-eyed Tom Cruise trying to batter Hitler to death with a suitcase isn't all that. Who knew? However, Tom Cruise isn't going down without a fight. It's been claimed that staff at a radio station were offered a free screening of Valkyrie - at Tom Cruise's actual house - but only on the proviso that they all said that Valkyrie was a masterpiece, that Tom Cruise was a sexy virtuoso of acting and that Katie Holmes' dungeon actually didn't look that uncomfortable really.
Say the name Tom Cruise and at least 3 out of 10 women will swoon right down to the floor. That's probably because both he and his soft velvety skin are considered 'handsome.' And we're not talking about just in lost African pygmy tribes either - we mean by western standards lots of chicks really dig him, man. Who wouldn't want to look like that? Production of Cruise's Valkyrie movie called for a publicity shot of Tommy-boy's profile smack dab next to one of the would-be German assassin - and you know what? The two look quite alike. Until German murmuring turned up the fact the one photo was altered quite a bit to look like the American star. The poor dead guy. That profile head-shot was probably all his kids had left.
Well this is a pisser - we're going to have to wait four months longer than we expected to see Tom Cruise running around dressed up a tiny, one-eyed Nazi.
Valkyrie, the movie where Tom Cruise inexplicably attempts to make his box office comeback as a kooky Nazi officer attempting to kill Hitler with some luggage, has seen its release date pushed back from October to February.
The signs are clear - by releasing Valkyrie so close to the Oscars, Tom Cruise has effectively admitted he doesn't stand a chance of winning an Oscar for it. A shame, since 2009 sees the launch of the Academy's inaugural Best One-Eyed Nazi Played By A Fading Egotist With Downright Odd Religious Beliefs trophy. Still, at least now Mel Gibson has a clear run at the prize with his upcoming role in The Fantastical Contraptions Of Professor Baron Von Cyclops.
