Tom to star in Hitler thriller

Tom Cruise has signed up to star in a World War II thriller based on an actual conspiracy theory developed by German generals who wanted to dispose of Adolf Hitler. The coup, organised because the generals wanted to make peace with the Allies to stave off the Soviet Union, was a failure – but the action is bound to set the box office on fire. Tom will team up with ‘Superman Returns’ filmmaker Bryan Singer for the as yet untitled movie. His business partner at United Artists says, “After reading the script, Tom and I knew that this was a film that we had to make. The project attracted Tom as an actor.” Filming will begin this year, after Tom stars alongside Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in the Afghanistan war drama ‘Lions For Lambs’. He is also in talks to headline the Francis Ford Coppola movie ‘Youth Without Youth’. [23 March 2007]
