Thursday, November 19, 2009

Actor Tom Cruise stars in a film out Christmas Day that might be the biggest risk of his career. "Valkyrie" is the true story of a German officer in World War II who plotted to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Cruise told Barbara Walters the film was "inspiring." "It was an incredible screenplay," he said. "A story that I didn't know about, and that I had no idea that that happened& it was just very compelling." (Dan Steinberg/AP Photo)

Tom Cruise has arrived in the Austrian city of Salzburg to shoot scenes for the new action comedy "Knight & Day."

Cruise, wearing sunglasses and a casual shirt, waved as he got off a private jet at the local airport Thursday afternoon.

Austrian broadcaster ORF reports that Cameron Diaz, Cruise's co-star, has been in Salzburg since Tuesday.

"Knight & Day" is directed by James Mangold and is due to be released next summer.

The Salzburg film shoot is expected to last less than a week. Earlier this month, hundreds of locals tried to snag spots as extras.
