The Siege of Jadotville will be a feature film starring Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan, who plays Christian Grey in the upcoming movie remake of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The action thriller, written by Kevin Brodbin, will focus on the siege of 150 UN Irish troops led by Commandant Pat Quinlan in the Congo in 1961 and will be directed by Richie Smith.

"I can't wait to get stuck into Jadotville" says Dornan about the project. The film is due to begin shooting in Spring 2015, once the lead man is finished with his Fifty Shades promotions duty.
