The Siege of Jadotville is set to be another original film project from Netflix and the first images from the movie have been released.
The Siege of Jadotville
Netflix has already brought us The Fundamentals of Caring - which was released on the channel last month - and now The Fundamentals of Caring is their latest exciting film project that is on the horizon.
Based on true events and the book by Declan Power, The Siege of Jadotville sees Richie Smyth is in the director's chair as he makes his feature film debut.
The director has brought together a fantastic cast as Jamie Dornan, Mark Strong, Jason O'Mara, Guillaume Canet and Michael McElhatton are all on board.
And you can see some of them in action in a set of four new images:
A gripping true story of incredible bravery against impossible odds, The Siege of Jadotville thrillingly depicts the 1961 siege of a 150-strong Irish UN battalion under Commander Patrick Quinlan (Dornan) by 3,000 Congolese troops led by French and Belgian mercenaries working for mining companies. Guillaume Canet plays a French commander who sought to defeat Quinlan and his men.
Netflix is quickly becoming a powerful platform for movies to reach a much wider audience and The Siege of Jadotville is promising to be a film that's not to be missed.
The Siege of Jadotville will be released later this year.
