Valkyrie Movie 2009

A presumed blockbuster in the new 2009 movies season, the new Valkyrie movie for 2009 experienced a series of delays and now has been set for theatrical release for the 2009 movies winter break season on February 13, 2009. The movie, a Tom Cruise vehicle, portrays one of Germany's only World War II heroes, or more aptly said, a pseudo-hero. It is not a remake of the numerous other Valkyrie named movies. With an original screenplay, the new movie is a fictitious semi-historical portrayal of Claus von Stauffenberg and the code-named operation valkyrie plot to stage a mid-war coup d'etat.

Hype: Side-by-Side promo photos of Stauffenberg and Cruise, allegedly darkened to make Staffenberg look more like real life Tom.

A German army officer, Stauffenberg aided and abetted the nazi war machine as it rolled across Europe and North Africa at the start of WWII. Later, as the war got bogged down for Germany and he got injured, his conscience is said to have intervened and he joined one of the plots to assassinate the nazi leader. It failed, and Hitler survived with injuries, in the end retreating into a hole like Saddam Hussein did 60 years later in Iraq.

Star Trek - 2009 Movie

This is the 2009 Movies blog preview of the Star Trek 2009 movie, Star Trek XI. With the new 2009 release, the Star Trek franchise goes back to its roots. This release is not really a sequel, since it takes place before the original Star Trek TV series, with its original run in the 1960s.

Kirk in Star Trek TV series - 2009 Movies review
William Shatner as the original Captain Kirk in "Where No Man Has Gone Before"

The original TV series starred William Shatner as Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. They created these famous characters and carried them over into the Star Trek movies that eventually were released into theaters after the Star Trek TV show concluded its original run.

Leonard Nimoy as the original Mr. Spock in "The Way To Eden"

Although the original TV series had a low-budget appearance, the Star Trek 2009 movie definitely is high budget and likely to be a blockbuster. It is a prequel to the original TV series and movies. The early days of Captain James T. Kirk and Science Officer Mr. Spock are explored, from their first meeting at Starfleet Academy on Earth and their first mission on a starship together.

In the meantime, the famous starship Enterprise is under construction, as the official website cheekily reveals. The new 2009 film also shows the childhood years of Kirk and Spock.

Paramount signed J.J. Abrams to direct the 2009 release of Star Trek. Abrams is renowned for his role in producing the Alias and Lost TV shows. Taking a page out of Lost, the Star Trek movie of 2009 includes future glimpses, like time travel, where Leonard Nimoy makes an appearance reprising his role as the old Spock, like in a flash forward.

Quinto Becomes Sock in 2009 Movies Star Trek
Zachary Quinto as the villain Sylar in Heroes - Now turned Vulcan

In the 2009 outing, actor Chris Pine plays Captain Kirk, while Zachary Quinto plays Mr. Spock. Quinto, famous for playing the villain Sylar in Heroes has a striking resemblance to his character, just needing the vulcan ears to fill out the role. A key question for Trekkies (Star Trek fans of course) will be whether Pine convincingly pulled off beefcake like Shatner. Eric Bana appears as the villain Nero. Rounding out the starship Enterprise crew are Anton Yelchin navigator Pavel Chekov, Zoe Saldana as communications officer Uhura, Simon Pegg playing Chief Engineer Scotty and Karl Urban as doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy.
