Even though the look isn't exactly 1:1, I could definitely see Caine nailing the delivery of Churchill's speech on Dunkirk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ojtm7Pb1QLM (not from the same year, but just an example.)
He's always been good with extended exposition in the Nolan films he's been in. Just get Caine to do some excerpts from some speeches, slap them on some clips and we got ourselves a teaser trailer.
Gonna have a bag on his head again.
Awesome.

In general I like Nolan doing more crazy out there concepts but I'm curious to see what he does in a more grounded realistic movie.

No, no cotillard pls.
Not sure exactly what can Nolan bring to WW2 that hasn't been brought already.
Incomprehensible fight scenes, boring planets and HitlerVoice.
Speaking about ammo, I can't wait to see the soldiers in this movie breaking into a jig when they get bloodlessly shot.
People on Omaha Beach falling over without being shot.
An entire battle of this filmed in IMAX.

WW2 was a planetary war now? God damn history being rewritten too blatantly these days.

I hope he goes for a R-rated movie, but I doubt it.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Can't wait for the trailer and poster.
Nolan marketing always knows how to hype their product.

Interstellar teaser trailer is by far one of the best of all time imo. That beautiful music, the montage of space achievements and the monologue from McConaughey. I was floored tbh.
Agreed and like sunshine, an incredible but flawed sci fi movie with an ecological message.

Yeah that was awesome.
Taglines for Nolan posters are perfect:
Dark Knight: "Welcome To A World Without Rules"
Inception: "Your Mind Is The Scene of the Crime"
Interstellar: "Go Further"

Hope it won't have scifi elements like The Prestige.
All of Nolan's movies have serious tone and some short of scifi in them, but a serious WW2 movie with scifi elements just sound weird.
And since it the beginning of WW2, there won't be many famous weaponries so WW2 nuts won't have much to nickpick unlike in Fury I guess.

Why would it have sci-fi elements? lol
The Prestige story on itself lend to have sci-fi elements, not to mention it had Tesla.

Man Nolan should have brought someone like the John Wick guys who are specialized in that field as 2nd unit directors.

We all know the Soviets used Tesla Coils in WW2, and the Allies had Gap Generators.
Looking forward to seeing Nolan bring Einstein's Chronosphere to iMax.

They give a better performance than Jennifer Lawrence.
At least she does better action scenes than Nolan

Nolan is looking more and more like a Boardwalk Empire character.
He's in a beach and dressed immaculately.

Yeah, I was surprised when they announced it and now seeing them for the first time I have my doubts. I'm sure they'll be fixed up in post.

The Axis will be no match for the Soviet's Mammoth tanks shielded by an Iron Curtain.

It was a joke. But sarcasm is hard to get across in text I suppose.
Looking forward to heating rumors about the craziness of this shoot.
Taking from the CW playbook I see.

What's the last war movie that was a summer tentpole, Pearl Harbor?
Does Inglorious Basterds count? Not a mega blockbuster, but they spent a good chunk of change on it.
