Another Delay for Tom Cruise and Valkyrie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Action, Drama, Period, Political, Upcoming Releases,
Right now, Tom Cruise is somewhere hoping the third time really is a charm.
After initially receiving a June 27 release date, the actor’s next film is now scheduled to open next year. That’s after Valkyrie had already been pushed back to the fall for production reasons.
Although an October premiere might have been given the film Oscar consideration, the studio claims the new Feb. 13th slot will be in the best interest of the WWII drama. That decision will allow Cruise to take advantage of the President’s Day weekend.
Two films once slated for that same 2009 date have since made other plans (The Pink Panther 2, The Wolfman). While these departures may have allowed Valkyrie to slip right in, that Friday will still have stiff competition. Confessions of a Shopaholic (starring Isla Fisher) and the latest version of Friday the 13th will also be fighting for audience dollars.
Directed by Bryan Singer, Valkyrie also stars Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh and Tom Wilkinson.
