    Tom Cruise is playing a Nazi in his new film

    Well hes playing a Nazi General in a new film, Valkyrie, based on the 1944 plot to assasinate Hitler. Some of you may have seen pictures of the versitle pint sized peoples favourite (Cruise) dressed as a German General in the papers yesterday? (i cant find the pic, but if you can please post it) and it looked just wrong, very wrong. Im not objecting morally to the subject matter or even to Cruise per se, (after all hes playing a 'good' Nazi) more to the terrible casting.
    Sure he may be able to pull it off? Micheal Caine managed it in 'The Eagle Has Landed' but then again Cruise is no Caine.
    I fully understand the reason why he was cast as a box office draw but pleeeease*rolleyes* Any other terrible casting bludders spring to mind? Or thoughts on this?

    I thought the germans wern't letting them film in a number of key locations on account of Tom Cruise being a scientologist and do not want Von Stalfenberg who is a hero in germany be associated with scientology which in Germany is viewed as a cult and is under police survalence.

      I think Cruise will be alright to be honest, he's done some very good turns before. Plus he looks like Big Boss with that patch! LolZ!

          As much as I think TC is a bit of a knob in real-life, I can't remember him being really BAD in any movie. I'm sure you lot will remind me though.

              I have to say I've enjoyed a lot of Tom Cruise's output of the years, but there is one problem I always have: he's always Tom Cruise to me.

              For example in the above picture I don't see von Stauffenberg. I see Tom Cruise wearing a Nazi officer's uniform.

              The same applied in War of the Worlds. That's not a single parent docker! It's bloody Tom Cruise!

                he's playing a german general who tried to assassinate Hitler - he's not playing a Nazi general

                    He's also been banned from filming on location at German military bases etc because he's a scientologist. It's a shame our government doesn't have the stones to do that to the brainwashed fools they have patrolling my local high street.

                      Once you start down that path you'd be banning a whole lot of people, including our dear ex-leader, heir Blair.

                      Come to think of it, I agree with your plan.

                        He was a scientologist? You're taking the piss!

                          He'd probably have been less dangerous if he was.

                            We're talking about him in past tense as though he has died, for some reason. I wouldn't wish that on the chap.

                            But yeah, Cruise. Nazis. No.
