What's the last war movie that was a summer tentpole, Pearl Harbor?

Yeah, idk. It would be neat if they could do special public screenings between May 26 and June 4 when it happened in 1940.

 

[oatmeal]

Fuck. Can't wait to see this...

Can't wait for it to get great first impressions and then everyone slowly turns on it as it's not as deep as everyone thinks initially.

Production design is going to be the tits.

 

[El Daniel]

They give a better performance than Jennifer Lawrence.

Jennifer Lawrence is in this? Or was this just a random jab at her.

I wonder if he does his normal teaser trailer 12 months ahead of release for this. He's done it for every film since TDK.

I've actually been talking to my students a lot about this film. Mostly about Harry Styles cutting his hair, haha.

If no one sees Dunkirk, they fail for the year.

Exactly. Even when they end up goofy as fuck like his last two, his movies capture a feeling of scale and gravity like very few blockbusters manage to, and are still more interesting than 90% of them.

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that principal photography on the epic action thriller “Dunkirk” is underway in Dunkirk, France. 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. The production will shoot in France, Holland, the UK and Los Angeles.

“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” 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 Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles, James D’Arcy, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan and Tom Glynn-Carney.

The film is being produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas (“Interstellar,” “Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy). Jake Myers (“The Revenant,” “Interstellar,” “Jack Reacher”) is serving as executive producer.

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema (“Interstellar,” “Spectre,” “The Fighter”), production designer Nathan Crowley (“Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), editor Lee Smith (“The Dark Knight” Trilogy, “Elysium”), costume designer Jeffrey Kurland (“Inception,” “Bullets Over Broadway”), and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson (“Mad Max: Fury Road”).

Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing “Dunkirk” worldwide and has slated the film for a July 21, 2017 release.

Confirms new VFX supervisor.

Confirms new VFX supervisor.

Nolan's going to get that lucrative One Direction money just by throwing in Harry Styles.

Hopefully, he's either a good actor or dies in the first 10 minutes.

But, Tom Hardy back with Christopher Nolan is always a great thing.

Upgrade.

Pfister can go back to making movies about a guy able to jump 3 feet high after becoming a superior human.

Rip Wally Pfister

I'm still shocked he's left to direct pick-up series for Amazon or whatever. I figured he would have went back to work as a cinematographer by now.

Anyways, can't wait to see a new Nola movie in theaters next year.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Murphy is the key - he wasn't in Interstellar and that broke Nolan's run of great blockbusters.

He was in TDKR which was garbage.

 

[Prologue]

Just not excited about this at all. Interstellar and Inception I enjoyed enormously, along with Prestige. Theress and dozens of war movies. Theres no scientific twist to it. Besides batman, I watch Nolan's movies because they're big budgeted, thought provoking movies with some science sprinkled in. He has a knack for just creating wonderful worlds and really making it come to life. I'll wait for the trailer but I'm just not into this at all. I just want another original idea from him.

Interstellar was his best movie since TDK

Got the usual Nolan problems but also his most empathetic lead and a really ambitious space plot

That hat doesn't meet Nolan's dressing standards.

 

[oatmeal]

Fuuuuck

Cool photos.

Love large crowds like that.

 

[Discotheque]

Funny how you can already tell from those location photos that this movie is gonna look great

 

[DMczaf]

Also Hardy just started filming too

 

[G_Berry]

Omg so ready for this!

 

[DMczaf]

 

[maquiladora]

Cardboard/wooden cutout soldiers? I guess Nolan is going to be pretty strict on CG usage again...

 

[DecoReturns]

On location shooting. Should be great visually, Nolan movies are always amazing on the big screen.

You know, I thought for sure Bale would be in the movie seeing how he's from the UK.

I was hoping for cameos from Bale and Leo as supporting characters.

Oh shit. Hardy is in this?

Oh boy!

 

[Smokey_Run]

That hat doesn't meet Nolan's dressing standards.

No, it totally does. His wardrobe reminds me of a tenured professor who is still driving the beat up 1980 Geo Metro they had when they were working on their dissertation. So the hat totally fits lol.

 

[jett]

Nolan is just being silly here using cardboard cutouts.

He's also going to do all of the sound effects with his mouth.

old school

 

[Einchy]

All of the extras is making this feel like an epic from the 50-60s.

Also Hardy just started filming too

Who is the other guy? Stunt double?

 

[the_batman]

Who is the other guy? Stunt double?

body double. they'll put Hardy's head on top of those massive pecs in post processing.

 

[DMczaf]

 

[Dany]

yesssssssssss

 

[Zantetsuken]

I shouldn't be as hyped as I am now since they are only filming but I cannot wait.

 

[frontovik]

Can't wait for the trailer. There hasn't been a good WWII film in a long time, hopefully Dunkirk will be entertaining and compelling.

Pitch Perfect 3 has moved off of Dunkirk's date.

Trailer? When?

Movie just started filming. Probably won't get anything until December/early 2017.

 

[Loxley]

Man I'm excited for this.

 

[Ridley327]

Candid photo of Nolan finding out Rex Reed is in town.

 

[RastaMentality]

I hope Nolan does a long take in this film. Has he done one before?

 

[strafer]

So Tom Hardy goes from skinny paratrooper in BoB to a buff dudebro in Nolans ww2 epic.

i see.....seems hardy cant say no to nolan.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

He was in TDKR which was garbage.

...for that one scene.

 

[Falchion]

Sounds awesome, I'd go see it.
