Tom's Movie Mission Impossible

Tom Cruise's “Nazi movie” has been pushed back to 2009.

It’s the second time, studio bosses have moved the release date of the WWII epic Valkyrie.

The thriller's new release date has been pencilled in for February 13 2009 – that’s a full eight months after it was originally scheduled to hit cinemas.

In December, the studios postponed the film from June 27 to October 3 to allow director Bryan Singer additional time to shoot a key battle sequence.

However, producers have offered no such explanations for the delay this time around,

In the film, Tom affects a German accent and a historically accurate eye patch to play Claus von Stauffenberg, a Nazi colonel who plotted the only known assassination attempt - an obviously unsuccessful one - against Adolf Hitler.
