We’d heard that there was a vehicular mishap on the set of Valkyrie back when the Bryan Singer flick got permission to shoot in Berlin even though his star/producer was an avid Scientologist, which the German government views as a cult.

None of this matters today, because 12 of the Valkyrie extras are seeking $11 million dollars in damages from the on-set snafu when the side panel of a period truck used in one of the scenes fell open as the truck turned a corner. The extras claim it was because the side panel had not been secured properly.

So who do you sue? Tom Cruise, of course.

“A new letter has been sent to Tom Cruise, (business partner) Paula Wagner and United Artists, in which we set out the facts of the case again and put a figure on the legal demands of our clients … of $11 million,” said lawyer Ariane Bluttner.

Eek. Bad time to send that letter to Wagner.

Though this suit is brought in German courts, Bluttner says she is not above bringing the negligence case to our country in an attempt to get a bigger and “satisfactory” settlement.
