Resistance Has A Poster, New Poster For Anthropoid

Resistance has a new codename as upcoming World War 2 set thriller Anthropoid unveils a new poster courtesy of Icon Film Distribution.

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

One of the most terrifying and thrilling stories of World War II, Anthropoid follows two soldiers from the Czech army-in-exile, Josef Gabčík (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.

The film has picked up some really strong reviews from it’s short film festival stint and this Friday (12th August) in USA the film will be released. Hopefully that will further support the notion we have a solid film on our hands when it’s released next month here in UK.

Anthropoid will arrive in UK&Ireland on 9th September co-starring Charlotte Le Bon, Anna Geislerova, Toby Jones and Harry Lloyd.
