LET’S START THE WEEK OFF WITH A BANG!

Not one, but TWO (yes, keep scrolling) Anthropoid clips came out today! A TV Spot and a clip from the film. Both Jamie and his following are heading into a very hectic week. With a profusion of radio, television and public appearances this week in New York, Jamie and his followers will be busy owning social media. Programs include ‘Live! with Kelly’, ‘Good Morning America’, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ and an interview with AOL Build. All this in just two days as Dornan begins a tumultuous string of promotions.

Jamie is beginning promotion for his upcoming war thriller, Anthropoid, which hits theaters August 12th. After just having completed a six month stint in Vancouver for Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, Dornan has taken some much needed downtime away from the public eye, no doubt to be with his family. He begins a plethora of movie and television promotions as Anthropoid, aside from Fifty, is not the only thing he’s now diving into. Jamie has two other films that are ready to hit theaters – ‘The 9th Life of Louis Drax’ debuts in select theaters on September 2nd while other war thriller, ‘Jadotville,’ a Netflix Original, is set to premier soon with no definitive date as of yet. 

Jamie also begins promotion for his most coveted series ‘The Fall’ (insert screams here.) Yes, Jamie is getting ready for Paul Spector once more and we’re fan-girling hard! He’s set to do a Q&A alongside co-star Gillian Anderson in the UK on September 7th. Tickets were open to the public to purchase and many of our friends from across the pond will be in attendance. There’s no premier date as of yet for Season 3.

CANADA FINALLY HAS ITS PREMIER DATE

Announced via @Elevation_Pics on Twitter, Anthropoid will receive a Canadian Premier Date of August 12th, 2016 – and it’s nation wide! We join the premier dates of a mountain of other nations. Thankfully, a story that has taken so long to be told will hit the big screen everywhere soon. CAN’T WAIT!

Bleeker Street released a new TV spot for Jamie’s upcoming film, Anthropoid. Watch it here!

RESISTANCE HAS A CODE NAME

A stunning new Anthropoid movie poster was released via @AnthropoidFilm today and it offers a lot more action and drama as it features never before seen scenes. The movie is slated to release on August 12th, 2016 and fans of both Dornan and Murphy have been in a frenzy since the movie had it’s premier at Karlovy Vary’s International Film Festival on July 1st, 2016.

Check out all of the movie’s official stills here.

Jamie Dornan fans were pretty busy this past Canada and Independence Day long weekends when their favourite serial killer attended the 51st Annual KVIFFEST in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.

Dornan was in attendance to support and present one of his upcoming films, Anthropoid. Based on a true story of 1942 Prague plagued by the rising of the Nazi Hierarchy, Dornan plays army-in-exile, Czechoslovakian soldier Jan Kubiš alongside Cillian Murphy, who plays his counterpart, Jozef Gabčík. The pair set out to assassinate SS Reinhard Heydrich, second in command to Adolf Hitler.

During the afternoon of July 1st, 2016, Dornan first met with fans and graciously signed a plethora of autographs and to take pictures. One fan recapped her experience on Facebook regarding the encounter she had with Jamie at KVIFF by saying “He’s sweet, adorable, very kind and quite the shy cute Jamie. He’s interested in how his fans are and grateful and happy when you ask him how Amelia and the girls are doing.” Proving once again that Jamie’s family means everything to him.

The film then had its international premier in Karlovy Vary, Prague on July 1st, 2016 where Dornan was indeed present. He presented the movie on the first day and attended a press conference for the film alongside Director Sean Ellis, multiple producers and fellow cast members.

The movie was first shown on July 1st, 2016 during the festival at which Dornan was present for and even introduced the movie prior to the screening. Dressed in a brilliant black suit and trademark bow tie, Dornan spoke highly regarding the importance of the film for the Czechoslovakian people. “We realized what an important story this is to Czechoslovakia and we felt that, you know, a huge amount of pressure to tell the story in an appropriate way and to honour the men involved, men and women involved, and I really hope we’ve done that. We’re very proud of the movie and I hope that we’ve done the country proud as well.” He also spoke multiple times about the changes an actor experiences doing period pieces as well as a film based on a true story and the level of difficulty in portraying someone who actually existed. “I’ve gone through a period where I’ve felt like I was playing people who were very much in control of what they were doing.” Dornan spoke regarding some of his current and past roles, wherein Jan Kubiš experiences a different level of control.

On July 2nd, 2016 Jamie attended the Press Conference portion of the festival in which he joined a panel of producers, fellow cast members and the director alike to answer questions regarding the film. Jamie spoke highly of Prague, his fellow comrades and his fans by saying “The Czech people have been brilliant. They were brilliant when we were announcing the movie last year, they’ve been brilliant. I felt that we got a really, sort of very, impassioned response (from the movie) last night and the Czech audience. I think that sort of thrilled all of us. I felt that I’m very warmed by the perception the movie’s got.” Jamie is also very good at keeping the limelight on the project he’s promoting. When asked about Fifty Shades of Grey, Dornan respectfully replied “I won’t talk about that project because I’m not here to talk about that project,” maintaining the focus on Anthropoid.

With a trailer already released, fans are more than excited to see Jamie in such a divergent role. We’ve seen him play everything from a sadomasochistic billionaire to a serial killer. And now he’s playing characters and pieces based off real life circumstances.

Jamie also has two other movies set to premier shortly. ‘The 9th Life of Louis Drax’, which got its trailer premier last week is set to debut on September 2nd in the US and September 9th in the UK. Jamie’s other project ‘The Siege of Jadotville’ a Netflix original also based on a true story, is set to premier on July 9th, 2016 at Galway Film Fleadh in Ireland. There is no official release date for Netflix yet nor a trailer at this time.
