Anthropoid UK trailer

The Anthropoid UK trailer has just made its way online. The upcoming film, set during World War II stars Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan and heads to cinemas in the UK on September 9th.

is based on the extraordinary true story of the World War II operation to assassinate SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich.  Heydrich was the Reich’s third in command after Hitler and Himmler, and the main architect behind the Final Solution and the leader of the occupying Nazi forces in Czechoslovakia.  Nicknamed “The Butcher of Prague,” his reign of terror and brutal crackdown prompted Allied authorities in London to hatch a top-secret mission, codenamed Operation Anthropoid, which would change history.

The film follows two soldiers from the Czech army-in-exile, Josef Gab?ík (Cillian Murphy) and Jan Kubiš (Jamie Dornan), who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. With limited intelligence and little equipment in a city locked down under Nazi occupation, they must find a way to assassinate Heydrich, the man many saw as Adolf Hitler’s natural successor.

Sean Ellis, who helmed the superb Metro Manila a couple of years back, is directing the film, which Icon will release in the UK.
