11 Injured At Tom Cruise Film Shoot

Eleven extras were injured during the filming of a new movie starring Tom Cruise, police said Monday.

The 11 men, along with a companion who escaped injury, fell off the back of a truck on Sunday night. Police said in a statement that a bolt on a side panel of the truck apparently came loose as the vehicle turned.

Germany's Bild daily reported that Cruise himself was not involved in the weekend filming.

The extras were taken to a hospital, where all but one of them required only outpatient treatment. Filming work was stopped.

The movie, provisionally titled "Valkyrie," stars Cruise as Germany's most famous anti-Hitler plotter, Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg.

His casting has attracted controversy in Germany because Cruise is one of the best known adherents of Scientology, which the German government considers a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people.

Some critics maintain that one of its members should not be playing what some consider one of the Nazi era's few heroes.

The weekend accident happened during filming of scenes around the Finance Ministry, which was once the Nazis' aviation ministry.

I don''t understand CBS at all - - why would they think we were interested in a "photo essay" about the filming of the latest $cientology cult training film starring Tiny Tom Curise ? Yet they offer to show us one - right on the left hand margin of your entertainment page here.

The media has fallen for the $cientologist cult''s attempts to use them as pawns in a public relations game.

Keep the cult out in the news under any circumstances.

I figured the extras were pushed aside by Tom''s overinflated sense of self worth...

rushlimpdrug you are a moron. I have met Tom Cruise and although I am no fan of his, I have to correct your statement that he is "short & fat and they use camera tricks..." Yes, he is short, about 5''8" but he is not fat, and the camera ADDS 10 pounds, it can''t make you look thinner.

The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism and the minister is Reverend Timothy Lovejoy. Not eveyone on the show goes there though as some attend African Methodist Episcopal Church of Springfield.

NOw knowing this I will no longer go to see any of his movies or watch any of his tv programs as this is not a true religion.
Furthermore he is actually fatter and shorter than they make him appear. It is all done with camera tricks.
Homer is a fraud! People should check into his beliefs.
(am I off subject?)

How do people get so duped by fake religions?

All religions are fake religions. they all started out as cults. They all have stories that are only possible with miracles or magic or other mysticism. Look at each of them dispassionately and everyone of them will make you laugh at their absurdity. Scientologists think that humans came here in space ships shaped like 707''s without the wings. Is that any more odd then that a god made a man out of clay and dust and then made a woman out of that man''s rib? All religions are a joke upon close examination. Actually the examination doesn''t have to be close at all. They''re all absurd of their face.

Posted by JackSteen1 - tell us how you really feel about Tom Cruise and $cientology. I usually don''t go to the movies to understand someones religious beliefs or too see if they are dwarfs or giants.
It''s entertainment some people go to see movies for ENTERTAINMENT.
