Germany has barred Bryan Singer and company from shooting at a German military site because the filmâs star Tom Cruise is a Scientologist. The German government does not recognize as a church. According to THR, Berlin says Scientology masquerades as a religion to make money, a charge Scientology leaders reject. The movie, Valkyrie is based on true events, and tells the story of a scheme hatched by German Generals to assassinate Adolph Hitler at the height of World War II. Descendants of Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg have also been vocal about Tom Cruise being cast for the lead role, fearing that the story will be turned into âpropagandaâ for the actorâs Scientology beliefs.â
Well so what if it is nothing but a money making scheme? So is filmmaking, right? For you guys! Let them shoot the damn film already!
It will be interesting to see a more in-depth exploration of the dissention and ultimate assassination attempt, the likes of which you could see something of in The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel.
It's not like they're shooting "Battlefield Earth" or something....
