Valkyrie 2009 ENG XviD NoRar

Valkyrie is a 2008 historical thriller film. It is set in Nazi Germany during World War II and depicts the July 20, 1944

plot by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler. The United Artists film was directed by Bryan Singer and

written by Christopher McQuarrie. The film marked a re-teaming of Singer and frequent collaborator McQuarrie, who had

also made World War II home movies together as children. When Singer sought a smaller project after completing Superman

Returns in 2006, he learned of McQuarrie's script, which the screenwriter had begun after visiting Berlin and learning

of the plot in 2002.

Tom Cruise appears as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, one of the key plotters. Bill Nighy, Eddie Izzard, Terence Stamp

and Tom Wilkinson also feature. Cruise's casting caused controversy among German politicians and members of von

Stauffenberg's family because of the actor's practice of Scientology, which is considered a cult in the country. German

newspapers and filmmakers supported the film to spread global awareness of von Stauffenberg's plot. The filmmakers

initially had difficulty setting up filming locations in Germany due to the controversy, but they were later given

leeway to film in locations pertaining to the film's story, such as Berlin's historic Bendlerblock.

The film changed release dates several times, from as early as June 27, 2008 to as late as February 14, 2009. The

changing calendar and poor response to United Artists's initial marketing campaign drew criticism about the studio's

viability. After a positive test screening, Valkyrie's release in North America was ultimately changed to December 25,

2008. United Artists renewed its marketing campaign to reduce its focus on Cruise and to highlight Singer's credentials.

The film has received mixed reviews in the United States, where as of January 5 2009 it has grossed $61,831,659. German

critics met the film with "a measured and hospitable reception".[3] It will open commercially in Germany on

January 22, 2009.
