He may be one of the biggest names in US cinema but Tom Cruise gets to rely on some formidable home grown support in his new WWII flick Valkyrie - in the form of an elite band of British screen veterans.

As the promotional shot for the film shows, the triple Golden Globe winner is joined by a trio of English heavyweights in the tale of a group of German officials who hatch a plot to assassinate Hitler.

Former Royal Shakespeare Company member Kenneth Branagh heads up the British outfit in his role as Henning Von Trescow, the right hand man to Tom's on-screen character. Also lending weight to the £50-million production are Love Actually star Bill Nighy and Sixties heart-throb Terence Stamp.

The Brit pack, which includes fellow UK actors and Pirates Of The Caribbean co-stars David Schofield and Kevin McNally, is currently in Berlin, where work on the film is already underway.
