A few weeks ago we posted the first major trailer for Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie which stars Tom Cruise. The movie had suffered through a lot of criticism awhile back because it has repeatedly pushed back its release date, but lately (since the release of the first trailer) there has been a lot of hope for the film. In fact, the only complaint really heard was the complaint pointing at Tom Cruise’s lack of an accent. Tonight though, we’ve got another trailer to show you as well as some more new pics from the film. Catch the pics and trailer after the jump.

This trailer looks much stronger than the original teaser we had posted. It definitely reeled me in quite a bit more than the teaser or publicity has so far. Oddly enough, some very recognizable music from a certain Halloween series plays during the trailer. It works just as well with this trailer though, so no worries.

In a country in the grips of evil, in a police state where every move is being watched, in a world where justice and honor have been subverted, a group of men hidden inside the highest reaches of power decide to take action. Tom Cruise stars in the suspense film, VALKYRIE, based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (CRUISE) and the daring and ingenious plot to eliminate one of the most evil tyrants the world has ever known. Director Bryan Singer (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, X-MEN, SUPERMAN RETURNS) re-teams with Academy Award®-winning USUAL SUSPECTS screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie to bring to life the story of the men who led the operation to assassinate Hitler. The film also stars an acclaimed cast including Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Carice van Houten, Thomas Kretschmann, Eddie Izzard, Christian Berkel and Terence Stamp.

VALKYRIE is produced by Bryan Singer, Christopher McQuarrie and Gilbert Adler. McQuarrie co-wrote the original screenplay with Nathan Alexander who also serves as co-producer. The executive producers are Chris Lee, Ken Kamins, Daniel M. Snyder, Dwight C. Schar and Mark Shapiro.

DISCUSS: What did you think of the trailer? Better than the first? Are you interested?
