We have already been treated to some images from upcoming film Anthropoid, and now the brand new UK trailer for the film has been unveiled.
Anthropoid
Directed by Sean Ellis, Anthropoid is based on the real-life World War II mission Operation Anthropoid, which was the planned assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.
This historical drama marks the return of Ellis to the director's chair in what is his first feature film since Metro Manila back in 2013. As well as being in the director's chair, Ellis has also teamed up with Anthony Frewin to pen the film's screenplay.
Anthropoid is set to be a September movie that's not to be missed and here is the great new trailer for you to take a look at:
Cillian Murphy is set to take on the central role of Josef Gabcik, ane ex-soldier from Czechoslovakia who is living in exile. Murphy is joined on the cast list by Jamie Dornan, Anna Geislerová, Harry Lloyd, Toby Jones, and Charlotte Le Bon.
Anthropoid 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 Gabcík (Murphy) and Jan Kubis (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.
Anthropoid is released 9th September.
