This Lady Wants Tom Cruise's Money

Meet Ariane Bluttner, the German lawyer handling an $11 million lawsuit against Tom Cruise and his production company United Artists.

Bluttner represents 12 extras who worked on Valkyrie, Cruise's WWII-era film, that say they sustained injuries, including several broken bones, cuts and bruises, while filming a scene for the film in Berlin.

Cruise was not on the set at the time, but apparently, the actors were riding in a German Army truck when the side panel broke open as the vehicle turned a corner.

Bluttner claims the studio knew the vehicles were unsafe, and even released an internal memo about them.

The 12 extras were taken to a nearby hospital after the accident. Eleven extras had a series of injuries including broken ribs and pulled ligaments. The 12th had to be kept four days for observation because doctors felt there might be other more serious internal injuries present.

Bluttner says she has sent a letter to Cruise, Paula Wagner and United Artists about the case and her clients' legal demands. She also threatens to take the case to a U.S. court if their monetary demands are not met.

Cruise and Wagner have been running United Artists together, but earlier this month Wagner announced she would be leaving the company. Valkyrie has also had it's share of setbacks suffering numerous production and scheduling problems. It is now slated for release December 26.
