This isn't Dornan's only new film. In early August, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Dornan will star in The Siege of Jadotville. The story is about the siege of 150 U.N. Irish troops in 1961 in the Congo after pro-Western warlord Moise Tshombe took control of the Katanga region and killed the democratically elected Congolese prime minister Patrice Lamumba. Dornan will play Commandant Pat Quinlan, the Irishman who led the U.N. battalion.
Fifty Shades of Grey is set to come out Valentine's Day 2015. No word on when and/or if the sequels will be filming yet.
