Many saw evil. They dared to stop it.
Academy Award-nominee Tom Cruise stars in Bryan Singer’s suspenseful WWII thriller based on the true story!
“VALKYRIE is a taut suspense flick for grown-ups…”
—Kyle Smith, New York Post“X-MEN director Bryan Singer and his USUAL SUSPECTS screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie will keep you in the game… It’s the palm-sweating suspense that counts.”
—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone“VALKYRIE is a meticulous thriller… The two best supporting performances are by Kenneth Branagh, and Tom Wilkinson, as a general who artfully plays both sides of the fence.”
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-TimesLos Angeles, CA — The remarkable yet seldom told true story of the German Resistance’s attempted coup and assassination of Adolf Hitler reveals itself when VALKYRIE is released on Blu-ray Disc and Special Edition DVD with Digital Copy on May 19th from MGM Home Entertainment. Set in Nazi Germany, VALKYRIE chronicles the daring and ingenious “July 20 plot” to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Oscar-nominee Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible, Minority Report) stars as the loyal German nationalist Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, the mastermind behind the plot to kill Hitler and overthrow his fascist regime.

Tom was on ‘The View’ this Friday. Here are videos of that entire show. I guess you only want to watch Tom but to be complete I’ve included all 5 parts of this Friday.
To only view Tom’s visit, view parts 3-5.
Parts 3-5 include Tom’s visit:

The 46-year-old actor will arrive with filmmaker Bryan Singer and stay for two days, appearing at a red carpet event, Jan. 17 and at a press conference at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, Jan. 18. According to 20th Century Fox Korea, Korea is the only Asian country the two figures will visit during their tour.

Based on a true story, “Valkyrie,’’ is set in Nazi Germany during World War II and tells the story of German officers scheming to assassinate Adolf Hitler.
Cruise plays Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, one of the key plotters in the film.
The star of hit movies “Mission Impossible’’ (1996) and “Jerry Maguire’’ (1996), Cruise has visited Korea three times to promote “Interview with the Vampire’’ (1994), “Mission Impossible 2’’ (2000) and “Vanilla Sky’’ (2001).
He recently received rave reviews for his comic performance in the film “Tropic Thunder,’’ which also gained him a Golden Globe nomination.
While Cruise will be meeting local fans for the fourth time, it is the first visit to Korea for Singer, who has a large fan base among science fiction and comic book fans for the hit movies “The Usual Suspects’’ (1995), “X-Men’’ (2000) and “Superman Returns’’ (2006).
Valkyrie will be in local theaters, Jan. 22.
Businesses at the nation’s shopping malls were probably grateful for the crowds of potential customers that anchor-tenant multiplexes attracted over the Christmas holiday weekend.
Attendance was reportedly up nearly 8 percent over the same weekend a year ago, as several of the top films exceeded analysts’ expectations — by a lot. “It’s a very strong finish to the year,” Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers, told the Associated Press.
Twentieth Century Fox’s Marley & Me led with an astonishing $51.7 million for the four-day holiday and $37.0 million between Friday and Sunday, according to studio estimates.
Paramount’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button came in second for the four-day weekend with about $39 million and $27.0 million for the three-day weekend.
Disney’s Bedtime Stories finished third with 38.6 million from Thursday to Sunday and $28.1 million from Friday to Sunday.
Yet another surprise was the solid ticket sales for MGM-UA’s Valkyrie starring Tom Cruise, which several analysts had predicted would bomb. Instead it raked in $30.0 million for the holiday and $21.5 million for the weekend.
LOS ANGELES — An unusual alignment of top stars brightened Hollywood’s holiday box office as Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Adam Sandler, as well as Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson and a dog, pushed new movies to strong openings. (…)
Still, the weekend’s most significant victory may have been scored by Tom Cruise, the director Bryan Singer and the distributor MGM with their “Valkyrie,†which for the last year has been chewed over as one of the most difficult bets in the movie marketplace.
The film, in which Mr. Cruise plays a German officer who tried to kill Hitler, placed fourth for the holiday with $21.5 million in sales for the three days and about $30 million since opening on Christmas.
“We’re really happy here,†said Erik Lomis, who oversees worldwide film distribution for MGM. Mr. Lomis said the film, currently playing in about 2,700 theaters, will probably add locations this week as it capitalizes on strength in midsize markets where Mr. Cruise’s star power is helping it keep pace with films for which prospects seemed brighter.

MGM performed a Christmas miracle this weekend. The studio took what was long considered a surefire flop anchored by a star on the decline and turned it around and into a big hit. That film, Tom Cruise’s war drama Valkyrie, debuted in fourth place with an estimated $21.5M over the weekend and a terrific $30M since its Thursday launch. Invading 2,711 venues, the thriller about a plot to assassinate Hitler averaged a sturdy $7,942.Valkyrie‘s debut was in the same vicinity as other Cruise pics like Collateral ($24.7M opening) and The Last Samurai ($24.3M) although those films opened on Fridays during non-holiday frames.
Valkyrie took advantage of a void in the marketplace and seized the opportunity. Emotional dramas like Marley and Button skewed female and Bedtime appealed more to kids leaving adult men with very few films to be excited about. Studio research showed that the PG-13 film pulled in an audience that was 55% male and 66% over 25. Backed by decent reviews, the World War II flick now has a shot at becoming yet another $100M hit for Cruise capping off a major comeback year for Suri’s old man who also delivered one of the summer’s most memorable performances with his Golden Globe-nominated turn in Tropic Thunder.
