Today we all are waking up to a new nation. Whether or not your candidate won yesterday, it is still a new day, so what better way to start the day than by having a staring match with Tom Cruise. A lot of our readers complained that they didn't like the look of the official US poster for Valkyrie that debuted a month ago (even though I did), so here's a more dramatic alternative that may better suit some. This Korean poster recently debuted on IMPAwards and obviously focuses on Tom Cruise as the big selling point, rather than a more minimalistic style. I think it definitely looks like an impressive alternative design.

Thanks again to our friends over at the greatest poster site in the world for debuting this. There is also a similar Japanese poster that only features just Tom Cruise on it as well. Thoughts on this version?

At the height of WW2, a group of high-ranking German officers hatched a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, and seize power of the military command in order to end the war. The operation was codenamed "Valkyrie", for the emergency plan that was meant to be used in case of a revolt against the Nazi government. This plan had been modified by the conspirators to ensure their success, but for various reasons the plot failed when finally carried out on July 20th, 1944.

Valkyrie is directed by Bryan Singer, who previously directed The Usual Suspects, X-Men 1 & 2, and Superman Returns. The film's screenplay was written by Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, The Way of the Gun) and Nathan Alexander. Valkyrie arrives in theaters on December 26th this year.
