Germany reverses Tom Cruise ban

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Germany reverses Tom Cruise ban

A defence ministry spokesman said the change of heart came after officials were convinced the film would portray post-war Germany in a good light.

Thomas Raabe said it appeared the movie would underline the fact that "barbarism did not win, but rather a democratic Germany finally arose".

Tom Cruise fumes over inappropriate fart

Hollywood star Tom Cruise was left furious after a crew member on his latest film set passed wind during a minute's silence.


The actor - who is shooting World War II drama Valkyrie in Berlin - had paused filming to honour the anti-Nazi heroes portrayed in the movie when one employee decided to break wind during the tribute.

Fellow star Christian Berkel - who plays anti-Hitler plotter Albrecht Mertz von Quirbheim - said: "The film's director Bryan Singer, the screenplay writer Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise asked us all to observe a moment's silence shortly before we started filming."

A source on the set told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Fortunately the mystery gassy man didn't completely ruin the touching gesture.

"Quite rightly, Tom is furious. We were filming at the Bendler Block in Germany where the anti-Nazis were executed."

The source said Cruise decided to ask for the minute's silence to show respect for the deceased and appease the German government, who only allowed the movie to be filmed if post-war Germany was shown in a positive light.

The source added: "So for somebody to pass wind in a situation like that is unforgivable."

The silence was filmed and now Cruise and the producers will go through the footage to identify the culprit, who is likely to be fired.

A spokeswoman for the production company said the majority of footage taken at the site in Berlin would have to be filmed again.

"The production company told us that there were problems with the negative development in Arri Munich, one of the top post-production companies in Germany.

"The images were wiped away," he added.
