Tom Cruise's Valkyrie Release Delayed Again

The release date of Tom Cruise's Valkyrie has been pushed back again, Variety reports.

Originally slated for a June release, and then an October release, the action film set during World War II will now hit theaters for President's Day weekend.

When it opens on February 13, 2009, Valkyrie will compete with Confessions of a Shopaholic and Pink Panther 2.

In the film, Cruise (who's married to Katie Holmes, 16 years his junior) stars as Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, the leader of the unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944 with a bomb hidden in a briefcase.
