Here’s a look at Daniel Radcliffe in the forthcoming Escape From Pretoria. We have a first-look still and the trailer for the film which is based on true events.
Daniel Radcliffe stars as Tim Jenkin, a real-life ANC activist who was branded a terrorist – and imprisoned – in Africa’s maximum-security Pretoria prison in the late 1970’s during Apartheid. Along with two fellow freedom fighters, played by Daniel Webber (The Punisher, The Dirt) and Mark Leonard Winter (The Dressmaker) Tim made a complex and daring escape 18 months into his incarceration using handcrafted wooden keys. The ingenious escape attempt happened 40 years ago on 11th December 1979.
Radcliffe has some interesting looking movies coming up. Aside from this, there’s also a movie named Guns Akimbo (which premiered at TIFF this year) where he plays a guy named Miles who has a pair of handguns secured to his hands. Love the sound of that one.
Escape From Pretoria will arrive in cinemas and on digital from 6th March. Watch the first trailer for the film below.
