Trailer For Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK Has That Old Fashioned Epic War Movie Look

A Bridge Too Far, The Longest Day and Saving Private Ryan – these are iconic and stirring war movies with an epic feel. I get the feeling that we’ll be adding Christopher Nolan‘s Dunkirk to this list in the future. This teaser (titled Survival) gives you a look at the film’s cast – with Kenneth Branagh getting the most screen time.

The teaser:

The synopsis:

“Dunkirk” features a prestigious cast, including Tom Hardy (“The Revenant,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Inception”), Mark Rylance (“Bridge of Spies,” “Wolf Hall”), Kenneth Branagh (“My Week with Marilyn,” “Hamlet,” “Henry V”) and Cillian Murphy (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), as well as newcomer Fionn Whitehead. The ensemble cast also includes Harry Styles (One Direction) making his feature film debut.

Christopher Nolan (“Interstellar,” “Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy) is directing “Dunkirk” from his own original screenplay, utilizing a mixture of IMAX® and 65mm film to bring the story to the screen.

“Dunkirk” opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in.

Dunkirk opens in cinemas onJuly 21, 2017 – a ballsy move.
