If Anthropoid didn't sate your desire to watch Jamie Dornan in a real-life story of war and heroism, The Siege Of Jadotville is looking to help with that. The trailer is now online and can be watched below.
Once simply known as Jadotville, the film is set in 1961 and follows the real-life events around the siege of an Irish UN battalion by 3,000 Congolese troops under the command of French and Belgian mercenaries paid by big mining companies. Dornan is the Irish commander, Patrick Quinlan, who has to argue with Mark Strong's authority figure to keep up the fight. Guillaume Canet is in charge of the French contingent, while Jason O’Mara is Company Sergeant Jack “Sarge” Prendergast, Quinlan’s right-hand man.
Netflix swooped in to nab the rights for Richie Smythe's film, which means you'll be able to watch it on the streaming service from October 7. There are definite shades of Rorke's Drift and Zulu here, but we'll have to wait and see if the new movie is in the same league.
