Fresh from his “Fifty Shades of Grey” fame, Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan takes on the role of a real-life Czech soldier in “Anthropoid” based on the true story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the main architects of the Holocaust.
The movie, set for release next year, sees Dornan play Jan Kubis, who with fellow soldier Jozef Gabcik, was sent to kill Heydrich in Prague during World War II in “Operation Anthropoid”.
The movie will be filmed in the coming weeks in the Czech Republic. On Thursday, Dornan, director Sean Ellis and actress Anna Geislerova held a news conference about it at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the country.
