UA ready to make deal with WGA due to $100 million Tom Cruise Nazi movie
By Behind The Scenes TV on Jan 8, 2008 in Film Business, Filmmaking, Hollywood
“Valkyrie,” the movie about the failed 1944 assassination plot to kill Adolf Hitler, has already cost United Artists between $90 million and $100 million, sources tell me.
That’s why UA was so eager to cut a deal with the Writers Guild over the weekend and get back to work. Still pending on this film — which no one in their right mind actually wants to see — are a number of big reshoots as well as a huge battle scene that hasn’t been shot yet.
It makes you wonder what they spent the $90 million on so far? Tom Cruise’s eye patch?
United Artists is the first production company to make a side deal with the WGA, causing a lot of Sturm und Drang among the studios.
