Don't Ask, Don't Tell
Posted on Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:45 AM PDT


While Katie dined in Los Angeles, Tom was off playing Nazi officer Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg in Germany for Bryan Singer's new film Valkyrie. Although the production was denied permission to shoot on location in Berlin (due to Cruise's beliefs in Scientology), filming has begun in an unused airport southeast of Berlin. The Germans are caught between a rock and a hardplace in their outcry of Cruise, a Scientologist, playing a German martyr. Some say their dislike of Scientology (considered tyrannical by some) comes from a lesson learned from WWII, others use this instance to point to Germany's history of religious intolerance.



Should they just adopt the US military's practice of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" when it comes to religion?

So many questions.
americans are stooopid and religious freaks that eat way too much.
crazy christians, mormons, scientologists etc. are all insane.
all religion is crap anyway.
the movie looks good though.
UM, WHO CARES? HE'S LIKE 95 YRS OLD..
now he's a nazi? all the press is going to just make him more money....

Scientology is considered a dangerous sect, that psychologically manipulates and brainwashes their members by a lot of people in Europe. It has nothing to do with WWII or Germanys "history of religious intolerance". Cruise's adherence to Scientology has become an image issue, too.
I wont see the movie and havent seen any of his films in awhile I dont want to support scientology. Same goes for John Travoltas movies
scientology is just another criminal enterprise which is being protected by our freedom of religion.
Scientology is not a religion. It's a cult. But, it must be tolerate of homosexuality because Tommy's gay.....
DOESN'T TOMMY LOOK CUTE IN HIS LITTLE UNIFORM? OOOH AND I JUST LOVE THAT EYE PATCH! NOW WHEN WE'RE ROLE PLAYING MY CUMSHOT WON'T HIT HIM IN THE EYE!
What a douche!!!
all life is pretend for these folks. it's fun to pretend to be a scary, bad/good nazi because it's important that movie stars perpetuate stereotypes for money. movie attendants give their freedom away, subscribing to this shit. tom, when it's all over, where will you be? have you helped anyone at all other than your agent and his wife, your producing partner and yourself? no one cares, it's true. ah, perhaps the next life will offer more of a sense of truth.
WOW! Cant wait to see Tom and this movie!
Didnt Germany started the holocaust not Scientology?
Oh well!!! Bring on VALKYRIE!!!!
Tom is perfectly cast and Cruise looks handsome and young for his age.
^^Scientology nutjob!
I can hardly wait to see Tom on another project especially this one.

Tom can't wait to get a mouthful of my big fat juicy wienerschnitzel!
God bless you Tom.
Too bad this movie is not out this year.
GERMANY in NOT intolerant against religions!!! It's a sect and not a religion and it's dangerous, as well as it's also makes differences between groups of people, how can anyone who is not completely blurred find that NOT intolerant??? We (Yes, i'm german) just know that scientology is dangerous and crazy.
And by the way WE don't have a president who dislikes homosexuals and is a totally jerk.
Tom doesn't diserve to play such an important, SERIOUS character.
woah.. you have no idea and write things like "Germany's history of religious intolerance." that's absolute crap. scientology is not a religion it's a dangerous sect, because it manipulates and destroys people. and we here in germany simply didn't want a man, who supports this dishonest organization all over in the world, playing a national hero. this has nothig to do with religious intolerance.
the five world religions and many more persuasions live peacefully together in germany. stop writing shit.
THE POSER is making another BOMB!!! (pun intended)
Tom Cruise's new nickname is THE POSER>
I want to see Tom Cruise naked. I doubt hes gonna be in the nude in this movie though. I am anticipating this movie and I hope it is well made and really entertaining cause the more it is the more I will want to see it. I wonder if they made his hair curlyish cause the original stauffenburg dude had curly hair. I can't wait to see the first trailer of this movie.
Tom is ........GAY and American.......
Tom is so hot!!!!
This man is good to his family and the fans. An exceptional actor and he's looking good for his age.
Im watching Lions for Lambs especially Valkyrie.
Oscars for Tom?
SCIENTOLOGY KILLS!
Go TOM Go!
Tom is an inspiration man and a phenomenal actor. Not to mention a culural icon.
Im so excited for this movie!
stauffenberg was the opposite of a nazi ok?He tried to kill hitler and Some dont want cruise to play stauffenberg because scientology is sick and stupid and scary!I hate scientology but I dont have a problem with tom cruise playing Stauffenberg!
Tom is Gay and Nazi......uhmmmmm
No one's stopping me from watching Tom Cruise.
omg he shouldnt play a role that the son of the guy which he is potraying doesn't want him to that really must suck and yet he goes on to play it and about the scientology junk he doesnt really love katie why did he have her change her religion thus concludes another theory of why tom cruise may just be gay and dont call us stupid americans im sorry but that nazi bullshiit aint happen here so stfu this man w.e his name is he was a memeber of the nazi clan so he might aswell be considered one right also his plan was not a success so we know how the movie ends its stupid why do ppl wanna see the holocaust again
TOM IS THE GREATEST ACTOR LEGENDARY ADORABLE
FUCK THE LOSERS
HAHAHA
Perhaps Tom wants to bring recognition to the fact that not ALL Germans or even ALL Nazis approved of Hitler, that there were those that tried to put a stop to the madness. And some of you people that write crap about Tom Cruise should not believe everything you read in the tabloids. It makes you sound ignorant. Tom is a GOOD person and at least he has the courage to stand up and speak out for he he believes in.
And for the one that insults Americans by calling us stupid, well, I'd wager my intelligence against yours anyday.
Viva America! and Tom Cruise! down with scientology!
What do you all think about atiflights.com? It seems like it is a relatively new company?
