Image details: Museum Of The Moving Image Salutes Tom Cruise served by picapp.com
Tom Cruise’s movie Valkyrie has been delayed once again. They have postponed its release to 2009, which is the second postponement for this movie. They have pushed the release date back to February 13, which coincides with President’s Day weekend.
“When an opening became available for President’s Day Weekend, we seized the opportunity,” said MGM distribution president Clark Woods, referring to Universal’s recent decision to pull “The Wolf Man” out of that slot and into April 3.
Valkyrie has had its share of headaches. The German government had initially banned the production from shooting the movie at the location where the plot was hatched and the conspirators executed. Some of the footage at the site was damaged during re-processing which then required re-shoots. And last August, 10 extras were injured after falling off the back of a truck in Berlin.
Geez! I hope after all these problems that the move to Presiden’t Day weekend helps salvage this movie. It sounds like a nightmare of an experience to me.
