We just got an email here this morning telling us that “Valkyrie,” the new movie starring Tom Cruise, won’t come out in October as planned. It is now set for a February 2009 release.

This was after it had already been moved from the summer 2008 schedule.

There’s no explanation for why, but I can tell you what it usually means: this movie sucks. Why else would a movie planned for the lucrative summer schedule get moved to the no man’s land of February, the dumping ground month for the movie industry (well, what they don’t dump in January).

By the way, the movie features Cruise—who you perhaps know best as the pompous, slightly manical man on the Scientology video on You Tube —as a German officer involved in a plot to execute Hitler. Catch the trailer here, and make sure you wait around for the line: “The SS will pull you apart like warm bread.” Heh heh, now that’s some dramatic writing!
