Christopher Nolan to direct WWII film "Dunkirk", shot in IMAX 65mm
- Thread starter MagicWithEarvin
- Start date

The first screenings of SS are in France tonight.
For what it's worth - I know UK and Australian cinemas have too received the teaser, and I believe France should be too. Usually with new Nolan trailers WB have been good and having them out theatrically at same time in most major markets.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
This makes no sense. This is take on a history event. And you are asking it to be like a sci-fi movie? lol
Yea, it is actually.
My grandfather was a Dunkirk vet. I hope they do it justice.

Apparently the teaser has arrived at theaters, one projectionist watched it:

Summary:
-Teaser focuses on the tone of the movie, doesn't focus on the actors.
-Nolan is the only name seen. "From Christopher Nolan. Director of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar"
-No music, just the sound of something ticking.

You know I think Nolan's name is recognizable enough that he doesn't have to parade out his previous films.
I bet there are a decent number of casual movie goers who don't realize or remember that those movies were all directed by the same person.

Imagine if a WWII movie in the summer sells more than the first time Batman, Supes & Wonderwoman are in a movie together. WHAT A TIME TO BE (Nolan) ALIVE
I have no doubt the movie will be excellent as usual, but I still wish he would have done something that isn't based on the past. His IPs are the best and some of the most interesting of the genres he jumps on. Maybe he wanted to do this, or maybe it's a legacy thing where he wants to do a WWI or WWII movie, or both.
That's a Nolan teaser alright.
Nolan's had an itch to do historical movies for a while now. He was originally slated to do a Howard Hughes film at some point and I think he was attached in some way to a project involving the 1906 San Fran earthquake (or was that his brother?). Both projects have been canned at this point though.

wtf harry styles is in this movie?
Spielbergo is the only director in the world that gets that distinction.

No one cares about Spielberg, we in the Nolanverse now.

I'd argue Tarantino is as big a draw too tbh
Yeah.
You're right, Tarantino is probably another one where you don't need to mention his movies to know who he is.
He followed up
"The biggest takeaway for me is TONE because that's been the question mark on this project. Like, how does Nolan take a war movie and put it through his lense. But it's VERY clear IMMEDIATELY that this is a Nolan war movie."
Same with Scorsese, they don't say "from the director of Goodfellas and Taxi Driver. It would be interesting to see when exactly in his career they stopped referring to his past work in trailers.

True, Spielberg and Tarantino are also uncommon last names so they stick out more in peoples' minds.

I really hope this has the typical Nolan weird shit going on and isn't just a regular WW2 movie.
That would be terrible.
It's pretty much guaranteed.

How many BWHAAAMS will we get?
I honestly don't know what Nolan can bring visually to WW2 that hasn't been done before.
That was Brad Bird iirc.
Actually taking place in Leo's limbo.
Really? I remember at least one of the Nolan brothers being attached to it.
Admittedly I'm hazy on the details considering I'm drawing from 2011 memories

At least wait till you see it.
Interstellar had a great teaser and you can described as
-Stock footage of NASA stuff
-Matthew monologue
-5 seconds of footage

That didn't stop Interstellar IIRC? I remember potato cams of the teaser and didn't the teaser release the following week on Monday?
Suicide Squad is out in Europe and doesn't have the Dunkirk trailer but then that doesn't really mean much as their trailer distribution is usually up to the theater and manager. lol
With TDKR it's Nolans worst.

lol, Nolan already has 2 movies that have sold more than anything Spielbergo has done. He's just getting started. Also, I'd like to personally invite you to this decade where Spielbergo is irrelevant.
Maybe Jonah might have been attached to it to write, but I think Bird was always the director.
The only movies I'm aware of that Chris was attached to direct but dropped out of were the Howard Hughes movie and the Prisoner remake.

Really loved Interstellar but it's not in the top 3 for me. I don't know if it was this thread.. but it was funny. Several people were making a top 5 from best to worst of Nolan's and almost none were ever the same. GOATlan with that diversity.

The score, visuals, scope and heart of Interstellar will always make it one of my favourite movies. I just love it. After that it's hard to say, I love Inception as well as the TDK trilogy (with TDKR being my favourite). But then you have Memento, Prestige and Insomnia.
