Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan is picking up projects to keep himself busy before returning to the record-breaking franchise that has made him famous. The actor seems to be interested in distancing himself from romantic comedies and dramas in what’s probably a smart move to stop from being typecast in material he doesn’t seem to enjoy too much. His next two projects are going to be about as far from Fifty Shades as he can get, as Dornan will be starring in two war dramas.

The Hollywood Reporter said that it has been announced that Dornan will star in the World War II thriller Anthropoid alongside Cillian Murphy. Anthropoid will be about the real-life mission to assassinate the man thought to be Hitler’s second-in-command. Reinhard Heydrich was a terrifying S.S. officer with the nickname “the Butcher of Prague,” considered to be the natural next-in-line to lead the Third Reich. Two Czech soldiers were sent in to their home country via parachute to complete the dangerous mission of ending Heydrich’s life so that he couldn’t succeed Hitler.

THR reports that Anthropoid has some strong talent lined up behind the camera, as well as in front of it. The Academy Award and BAFTA-nominated director Sean Ellis will direct from a script that he wrote alongside Anthony Frewin. The movie will begin production this summer in Prague.
