First photo released for upcoming adaptation of WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS.

Starring Robert Pattinson, Mark Rylance, and Johnny Depp, the film takes place in the 19th century in an isolated town in colonial Africa. The photo relesased shows how Depp will look while he plays the book's sinister villain Colonel Joll.

I wonder if it's set during the Herero campaign in German South-West Africa.
