Tom Cruise might still be Hollywood’s resident crazy man, but is he crazy enough to take on Hitler?
Tom Cruise is set to star in an untitled thriller based on an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the height of World War II.
Cruise had not intended to star in the project, which was acquired last week by his United Artists banner. However, during subsequent meetings, the project’s director, Bryan Singer, became intrigued by the notion of Cruise as a central figure in the story and offered him the role. Cruise signed on Tuesday.
I am still a Tom Cruise fan. Tom Cruise the actor, not Tom Cruise the looney messiah.
Honestly, I can’t think of any Cruise movie I didnt like. Oh wait, there was Vanilla Sky. But other than that he has always put out a good performance.
So do you think this movie will be based within reality with the assassination attempt failing? Or will it be complete fiction with Hitler surviving. Depending on when during Hitler’s reign this attempt was made, if it is successful imagine how it could change history? Will this movie tread on the fantasy to remove a historical figure so hated?
At least we can say things like “Not even Hitler could delay the Superman Sequel” now.
