Eleven extras were injured after falling off a truck on the set of Tom Cruise's latest movie, "Valkyrie". The movie, directed by Bryan Singer, was filming in Germany when the side of a military troop transport truck burst open as it drove around a corner. The BBC says:
One man was seriously injured … The other 10 of were treated in hospital but later released. Police said there were "no findings to suggest anyone famous was involved".
The truck, which was made to look like a Wehrmacht military vehicle, is now being inspected for technical defects as part of a police investigation.
Valkyrie has faced criticism in Germany, where crew were banned from filming at the former staff quarters where Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, who led the plot (to kill Hitler), was executed.
Well this is the first time I've ever heard of an extra getting hurt during the filming of a Bryan Singer movie. Normally those dudes are hurt when they audition for Bryan Singer. Hurt on the inside. Emotionally. Or maybe because their anus is too tight. Just relax baby, this will all be over in a few minutes, and then you'll be a big star. You do want to be a big star, don't you?
I wonder if he'll be like the next Exorcist… everywhere he goes, bad shit happens
If he shows up on my doorstep like some sort of Jehovah's Witness, then yes, I believe he's dangerous. Other than that, I would whoop his 4'5" ass around his room.
They should be thankful they were taken to a hospital–if it were up to Tiny Tom, he would have prescribed an audit, a shot of b-vitamins and a sauna.
Are you intimating Bryan plays for the other team….say it ain't so…..
Not that there's anything wrong with that:)
Definitely the sauna….come on now….purge those thetans….
"That's right, Ice—-man, I am dangerous." If by dangerous you mean being able to punch me in the kneecap without having to bend down, he's as bad ass as they come.
But JHC - he can bite an ankle like it was his JOB!!! How could you ever survive that!?!?
whatever. this movie will suck. hopefully it will accelerate tom cruise's demise.
pray for it for katie's sake, if his power just begins to wane he will no longer be able to focus on maintaining the force field and she'll be able to escape.
DB, Tom Thumb doesn't bite ankles…he merely bites
So..Brandon Lee dies while filming The Crow, but the jack-off can't even fall and break something on the set of a shitty movie like this? Dammit universe, get to crackin'!
"no findings to suggest anyone famous was involved".
That's because famous people only get hurt in vehicles when they're driving.
i can just imagine someone going through the pile of people that fell out and thinking "nope, not famous. nope, not famous. nope, not famous. OK! no one was hurt! hooray!"
Tom Cruise would not have been injured in that truck accident because he's protected by an aura of self-importance and a lower center of gravity. Not to mention a stunt-double or two…
And since they have socialized medicine over there, most of the ones injured should be able to see a physician sometime before or around New Year's.

Ride Lo
Unless all the extra fell off the truck and Cruise’s penis broke their fall, I don’t see how this is interesting. There’s no boobs or hot women in the story. BOO! Boo, I say!
Yeah, I remember when I auditioned for Synger. I was supposed to be the new mutant in X2, Mr Shouty, and when I yelled at someone to "Shut Up!" their head would explode. But when I was at the audition he was all trying to cop a feel and I had to shout at him, "No! Bad touch! I need an adult!" But he wouldn't stop… and his head wouldn't explode. Pinhead.
"Thats right! Ice . . . Man . . . I am dangerous . . ."
DON'T WORRY NOBODY FAMOUS WAS INJURED! YAY!
Does this mean they only get to Tom after Bryan breaks them in first?
