or at least a thread with the word "Valkyrie" in the tile.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5f/Valkyriecast.jpg Tom Cruise as Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg: A German World War II colonel who leads the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Stauffenberg lost his left eye, his right hand, and two fingers in an Allied attack in Tunisia, so Cruise practiced dressing himself and moving items with the fingers that the colonel had left. The colonel had also insisted on writing after the loss of his right hand, so Cruise practiced writing with his left hand
Eddie Izzard will also be appearing.

I haven't seen any word on whether we can expect whether Tom Cruise and all these Brits will be talking with German accents, but I'd like to assume so.

sorry for the typos, I'm drunk and downloading LFO's "Summer Girls" as I write this.
I'm actually gonna go watch Black Book now, coincidentally.

actually, not coincidentally, as I was reminded of Valkyrie while checking Black Book's wikipedia page to see how long it was (Evidently several members of the cast of the latter will be appearing in the film). Anyhow, everyone should actively anticipate this important film as it will remind us what a dynamic and convincing actor Tom Cruise is.

i think there was a thread about how tom cruise wasn't allowed to film some stuff in germany because he is in a cult

Main thread on this is here:
Bryan Singer directs Tom Cruise as the almost-successful assassin of Hitler in...
This and The Happening would surely make a wonderful double bill.
