You would think that this is the “Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner Hour” because another item came up in the industry trades just now — their Valkyrie is back on the 2008 slate.

MGM has moved the film to open Dec. 26, instead of the Feb. 13 date that was previously announced.

Apparently, the move was made for purely commercial reasons, after a screening of the film went well; I personally read a great sneak peek review on the Internet. The studio sees it as a holiday movie and award consideration was not a factor.
