This is an underwhelming final poster for Christopher Nolan’s WWII epic Dunkirk (see it below). Sure, he’s letting the star of the movie be the movie, but I want something a bit better than a big head and a title. At least it features [...]

Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK Tease

This is short and sweet but we can already tell that Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk is going to be epic. Like all of Nolan’s films Dunkirk is going to straddle the fine-line between audience pleasing blockbuster and critical acclaim. Few people out [...]
