Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman (seen here
in March 2007) will be working on separate films in Berlin from
September, German daily Bild has reported.[AFP]

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman will be
working on separate films in Berlin from September, German daily Bild
reported on Friday.

Cruise earlier this month began shooting "Valkyrie", a film about a
failed plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944, in which he portrays
Nazi-resistance hero Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg.

Shooting is set to continue until the end of October.

The decision to cast Cruise in the role has caused anger in Germany
because of his strong links to the Church of Scientology, which is
regarded here as a sect.

Bild said Kidman will come to the German capital in September to start
work on the film version of "The Reader", the award-winning 1995 novel by
German author Bernhard Schlink which deals with later generations'
difficulty in understanding the Holocaust.

Kidman and Cruise divorced in 2001. He has since married Katie Holmes and
she country singer Keith Urban.
