Kooky actor Tom Cruise is facing a German ban stemming from his affiliation with the Church of Scientology. The ban is slated to prohibit on location shooting at German military sites for the actor’s upcoming film ”Valkyrie.”

Harald Kammerbauer, a Defense Ministry, says:“[Filmmakers] will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult,” Kammerbauer is quoted as saying. “In general, the Bundeswehr (German military) has a special interest in the serious and authentic portrayal of the events of July 20, 1944 and Stauffenberg’s person,” Kammerbauer added.
