Breaking News: Nina von Stauffenberg, widow of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, visits the set of Bryan Singer’s ‘Valkyrie.’ It was remarkable for her travel all this way so that we can get her opinion on producing Valkyrie. It has been a hot topic of conversation in Germany over whether Valkyrie should be made because many believe that it will make Stauffenberg look bad where as others believe it will sensationalize the military hero. We all know the opinion of their son who believes that his father should just be left alone because Hollywood would not do him justice in a film.
Nina seemed supportive of the movie. She believed her husband’s story should be heard and that he could inspire international youth on moral courage and doing what is right for society rather than oneself. “I want my husband to be remembered for his contributions to saving Germany, not as a failed assassin,” said the widow. Some view Stauffenberg’s actions as treason and he should not be praised by the public or memorialized.
However, now that Singer has the widow’s seal of approval for the movie, he should feel more confident in the direction of vision. Her comments should also help him get a better idea of who this war hero was to further enhance the movie.
