I am somewhat interested in this film. 

 

The Daily Mail has revealed a cast photo of the key actors in "Valkyrie," the Bryan Singer-directed WW2 thriller about a failed German conspiracy to assassinate Hitler.

 

Here's a look at the photo below.  From the left they are:

 

Kevin McNally as former Mayor Carl Goerdeler

Christian Berkel as Officer Albrecht Riter Merz von Quirnheim

Bill Nighy as General Friedrich Olbricht

Tom Cruise as Count Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg

Terence Stamp as General Ludwig Beck

David Schofield as Field Marshal Erwin von Witzleben

Kenneth Branagh as Henning von Tresckow

 

Tom Cruise looks so much like he thinks he's in a James Bond movie right there.

holy hell, that's Tom Cruise? didn't even recognize him

That's because he is standing on a box.

lol...

 

The costuming and set are good. I'd probably be interested to see this just for the visuals, based on this pic. And Kenneth Branagh. He's good.

Dude that picture gives me shivers. That is a stellar cast with some of the best brit actors around in it. Kenneth Brannagh was in a really interest tv movie called Conspiracy which was based (I believe) on transcripts of a meeting key Nazis held at Wannsee where they discussed the final solution. It was one of the most frightening things I have ever watched as these seemingly intelligent men discussed the most appalling ideas while they sat around a table eating and drinking.

i hope it is historicaly acurate... of course there is a lot that is still not known for shure about what happend there.  not to say we dont know a lot but the nazi propoganda machine did a good job of covering a lot of what relly happend up.  i wonder if they are going to say anything about rommle.
