Entertainment Tonight’s Mary Hart sat down with the cast of ‘Valkyrie’, which hits theaters on December 26th. Mary chatted with director Bryan Singer, Tom Cruise, Carice van Houten and Thomas Kretschmann.
Tom plays Col. Claus Graf von Stauffenberg, who helped create a plan to assassinate Adolf Hitler. He wanted to seize power and put an end to the bloodshed that Hitler had created.
“He was a man who thought beyond himself and even his country, looking toward the world,” says Tom. “Very early on he was someone who opposed Hitler.”
The movie was obviously a very serious film, and the cast and crew did try to keep things a little light on the set. One time, something unexpected lightened the mood.
“We had to stop shooting [one day] because there was a wild boar in the neighborhood,” says Tom with a laugh. “That was a new one. I thought I was being ‘Punk’d.’”
That is too funny! Actually, I would love to see Tom Cruise Punk’d. Has he been? If not, someone call Ashton Kutcher!
