"Valkyrie," Tom Cruise's pet project about a German assassination attempt on Adolph Hitler, has had its release date pushed back yet again.
For the record, this is the third date that has been listed for the drama's theatrical release. The movie has been plagued with rumors about the need for reshoots to fix Cruise's (allegedly) poor acting skills.
Originally, the film was scheduled to hit theaters this Fourth of July weekend. Odds are, studio heads figured there's not a huge demand for a Hitler assassination story in the midst of all the summer blockbusters, because they pushed the flick back to Oct. 3. The studio's official reason for the move? A big aerial scene still needed to be shot.
Now, ladies and gents, the movie will be released on Feb. 19, 2009! For real! Mark those calendars! Just do it in pencil. Cause, you know, it could change again.
Check out the movie's trailer, above. And, um, don't pay attention to the "Summer 2008" ending note.
