It looks like Jamie Dornan is having a hard time catching a break in Hollywood these days. Even though he's become a Hollywood name thanks to his role as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades series he hasn't found much luck at the box office. And that's probably why some movie fnas are already thinking that his latest movie might be yet another one of his box office duds, even though it's weeks away from being released.

According to the Hollywood Reporter over the weekend, Dornan's new film, Anthropoid, co-starring Cilian Murphy will finally hit theaters in August. The two actors play Czech operatives who are parachuted into their occupied homeland in December 1941. Based on a true story, Dornan plays Jan Kubis while Murphy is Josef Gabcik, who were tasked with assassinating SS officer Reinhard Heydrich, a mission that would have a major effect on the war and the Europe.

Unfortunately though, some movie fans are already blasting the film, mostly because they believe it might have been miscast. Yahoo recently posted an exclusive first look at the film via some stills of Dornan and Murphy. Comments from fans to the Yahoo post include, "Looks like #$%$ and Jamie Dornan is one of the worst actors working today! Why the hell this guy has a job?" along with, "Christian Grey taking on the Nazis. Good grief!"

Yet, one commenter managed to defend the actor by writing, "Jamie Dornan is a terrific actor and one of the most popular new actors working today. I love him as Christian Grey, but am really looking forward to Anthropoid as well. He has a wonderful future in movies and TV ahead of him!"

Anthropoid is scheduled to hit theaters August 12th.
