When is Jeremy Irons film Munich on Netflix?
The Oscar winner will play British prime minister Neville Chamberlain.
Based on Robert Harris' acclaimed book, Netflix film Munich is an original spy thriller set in 1938 and starring Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons as former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain.
An advocate of peace, Chamberlain famously secured The Munich Agreement, signed by both himself and Hitler; but history now shows that the agreement proved to be a resounding failure, with World War Two breaking out just a year later.
Harris said of Irons' casting: "It’s great to see an actor of Jeremy Irons’ stature playing Neville Chamberlain. This will be the first time a major movie has gone beyond the cult of Winston Churchill and tried to show Chamberlain in a more sympathetic light."
Filming is already underway in Germany as of November 2020, with a release date scheduled for sometime in 2021. Here's everything we know so far about the project.
