New Clip from the first Heydrich Movie for this year, Anthropoid

Bleecker Street’s Anthropoid will tell a similar story to the one the Weinstein Co is rolling out, HHhH, except for one key difference, as far as I can tell: one is based on historical fiction and the other hews more closely to the truer story. Here is a clip of Operation Anthropoid, which is: “Based on the extraordinary true story of Operation Anthropoid, the WWII mission to assassinate SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich’s third in command after Hitler and Himmler.”

Anthropoid is an original screenplay co-written and directed by Sean Ellis. Ellis is also the cinematographer. It starts Cillian Murphy, Jamie Dornan, and Harry Lloyd.

Reviews of the film have been mixed so far but not many have seen the film yet.

Anthropoid opens August 12, 2016.
