Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie movie delayed again, until 2009
Tom Cruise’s German war drama Valkyrie has been delayed for a second time, with the film now pushed back to 2009.
The movie, the second from the United Artists studio, which Cruise runs with business partner Paula Wagner, was initially scheduled for a summer 2008 release but was bumped back to the end of the year after filming reportedly ran over. But the picture has been rescheduled again, moving from its October 3rd slot to February 13, 2009 to coincide with President’s Day celebrations. And studio bosses hope the holiday weekend release will give Valkyrie a major box office boost.
MGM distribution president Clark Woods says, “When an opening became available for President’s Day weekend, we seized the opportunity.”
In Valkyrie, Cruise plays a Nazi officer who is part of a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
