It now turns out that the Tom Cruise starrer Valkyrie, about the World War II "general's plot" to assassinate Adolf Hitler, may have competition from an award-winning German movie based on the same subject. Rights to the German film, Operation Valkyrie, directed by Jo Baier, have been acquired by The Weinstein Co., it was announced Tuesday. The film, originally titled Stauffenberg, the name of the Nazi colonel who led the assassination plot (played by Cruise in his film for United Artists), won The German Television Award for the best movie made for German television in 2004.
