I was in a shop today that sells excellent WWII replica uniforms (which they make themselves) and they said that they recently filled an order for 100 (or 1000, I don't remember) uniforms for a movie that is in production currently. They also said that they specially made 6 different uniforms for Tom Cruise himself . So I am guessing that this is going to be a big Hollywood production? They guys at the store said that the movie is supposed to come out this fall. They also said that it was being filmed in both Berlin and North Africa. So I am guessing that this movie has to do with the Afrika Korps? Any info on this subject? I am interested because I was at the store where all of this was made plus I believe that this movie is about the war in Africa. Click

Maybe it's the one where the German govewrnment didn't let them film there because Tom Cruise was a Scientologist? But they let them film there after a while anyways. And if it is called Operation Valkyrie, sorry I never knew the name.

probably, but remember guns don't kill people, people do though the gun helps because you cant kill someone by yelling bam bam bam at them unless of course their heart is bad.

Tom's played military guys before: fighter pilot, military school cadet, vietnam vet, etc., but they were all American and I think this is the first role he'll be wearing the uniform of the enemy, no? Unless you count the time he was a samurai warrior

I think its called Operation Valkyrie. I heard about it a while ago. Aparently Tom Cruise will be playing the guy who made an assasination attempt on Hitler and was later executed.

Maybe Tom can get L. Ron Hubbard to play Hitler

Bruno Ganz is the best Hitler.

Interesting.... Clearly Chuck Norris will play a role as uber-British Undercover Commando and escape execution in some death defying manor.....
seriously though, it looks interesting to say the least. Lets hope the explosion is big, if there is one. Have fun Tommy Crusie

P.S. How are they gonna make an hour and change movie on this? probably easily... or not who knows

Well, of course the actual explosion was not big enough since it did not kill Hitler. But it was only because the dumb cluck put it behind one of the conference table's big huge wooden supports which shielded Hitler from the main impact of the blast

OK let's nominate candidates for playing the part of Hitler. I nominate Tom green, it's not that I have anything against him, it's just that I think that the mustache would look funny on his face.

Just so you guys know (in case you didn't) Hitler was one of the most terrible characters in human history and he sholdnt be portrayed like he was someone funny.

personally i don't think any Hollywood celebrities should be in a WWII film nowadays it just kinda ruins it for me.
