Screen Daily reportered that Dutch actress Carice Van Houten had joined the project, and now THR and Variety are reporting that further members will round out the cast for Bryan Singer's Valkyrie. Van Houten has been cast as the wife of Tom Cruise's character, while newbies include Tom Wilkinson, Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard.
Written by Chris McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander, this is set in WWII and is based on actual events and depicts an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the height of World War II.
This will be a huge tent-pole film for Tom Cruise's United Artists and might fill up the recently reopened coffers of MGM in 09'.
