The "Valkyrie" hype machine begins

Well, what can I say. This sounds like instant Oscar bait, and actually looks pretty good, especially with the talented Singer aboard for directing duties……
…..but……
……..Tom Cruise.....yes….the closeted midget sports an eye patch, but will he do an accent? He is surrounded by brilliant British theps who no doubt can speak with a German lilt in their sleep, but can he….or will he end up sounding like some overly lispy steriotype?

We all knew from the beginning that this film is all going to be about the Cruise. A shame as I bet the Academy are itching to reward Nighy, Fry and Izzard (just for the acceptance speeches alone) as well as welcome back previous nominees Branagh, Stamp and Wilkinson.

Lets hope these overly talented men get their due, and the extremely talented Carice van Houten get to be more than a soppy love interest.

Ugh Cruise is the only thing that spoils this film from sounding flawless.
