Jamie Dornan may be basking in the critical glow surrounding the Oscar-nominated Belfast, the gorgeous Kenneth Branagh feature in which he stars with Outlander‘s Caitriona Balfe, but it’s The Tourist that he may actually be more proud of. “This was the hardest job of my life,” he readily and good-naturedly admits. In the puzzle-box miniseries currently streaming on HBO Max, filmed on location in Australia, The Fall star plays a nameless John Doe who awakens from a coma after a heinous car crash with no memory of his identity or why someone would try to run him down. “The outback is no joke,” he adds. “It’s a hostile environment, there’s sandstorms…it was roasting when we got there and freezing when we left.” Ian Routledge/Two Brothers Pictures All of that sweaty, sandy mess has paid off because the show’s prior international launches have earned it raves.

Jamie Dornan is a man on the run in HBO Max‘s first look at the six-episode drama The Tourist. Set to premiere Thursday, March 3, the original series is co-produced with BBC and Stan. The action-packed first look teaser previews Dornan’s character and his harrowing journey across the Australian outback. A Brit, Dornan’s unnamed character finds himself in the glowing red heart of the Aussie landscape as he’s pursued by a tank truck. (Credit: Ian Routledge/Two Brothers Pictures) As the large vehicle tries driving him off the road, it appears that the epic cat and mouse endeavor is successful for the truck driver as Dornan’s character lands in the hospital. There, he’s questioned by law enforcement, played by Danielle Macdonald, but he can’t seem to provide any answers. Hurt, but somehow alive, he has no idea who he is let alone how he ended up where he is.

Production is underway in South Australia on British director Francis Annan’s feature debut Escape From Pretoria, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Aussie Daniel Webber.
Radcliffe and Webber play real-life political prisoners and freedom fighters Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee; two white South African twenty-somethings who were branded ‘terrorists’ and imprisoned in 1978 for their involvement in covert anti-apartheid operations for the Anc (African National Congress). The cast also includes British actor Ian Hart, Mark Leonard Winter and Nathan Page.
Incarcerated in Pretoria Maximum Security Prison, Jenkin and Lee – joined by a fellow inmate – decide to send the regime a clear message and escape. After months of meticulous surveillance, breath-taking ingenuity, and in a race against time as the authorities strengthen the prison security defenses, the group craft wooden keys for each of the ten steel doors between them and freedom.
