By the weekend we should have the first full trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk, but before then a couple of posters for the movie have arrived. Warner Bros. is banking big on the war movie, with the studio giving it a prime July 2017 release date.
Although World War II movies have a mixed history at the box office, Warner is obviously hoping Nolan can bring a little of the magic he brought to The Dark Knight and Interstellar.
Here’s 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.’
