Michael Fleming of Variety:
Kenneth Branagh (pictured) will star with Tom Cruise in ",Valkyrie " the Bryan Singer-directed WWII drama that shoots this summer for United Artists.
Branagh will play a German general who mentors Cruise's character and hatches a plan to assassinate Hitler. Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander scripted, based on a true story.
Singer and McQuarrie, who will produce, brought the project to Cruise and Paula Wagner in March; Cruise committed to star shortly thereafter...

Branagh recently finished directing a "Sleuth " remake that stars Michael Caine and Jude Law and a version of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" that will premiere on HBO in September.
It's good to hear that Singer and his crew are not playing around with casting here. Branagh is perfect for this type of project. Meanwhile, I eagerly await that Sleuth remake!
