Dunkirk is getting an Asylum film....called Dunkirk!

http://www.dailyjournal.net/2016/11/12/lights_camera_atterbury_/

For an entire week, Johnson County got a taste of Hollywood. Filmmakers and crew from the California-based production studio The Asylum shot footage for their upcoming action movie, “Dunkirk.”

The film centers on the evacuation of Dunkirk, France, when the British military scrambled to avoid annihilation by German forces in World War II.

In the movie, a group of British soldiers is sent on a mission to retrieve a mysterious package that contains the algorithm for radar. Trapped behind Nazi lines, they have to sneak back to safety with the war effort in the balance, Lyon said.

“It’s a man-chase kind of movie, where these group of soldiers are being hunted by the Nazis,” he said.

Asylum is responsible for such films as “Mega Piranha,” “2-Headed Shark Attack” and the Sharknado series. Their specialty is the “mockbuster,” tongue-in-cheek versions of well-known movies.

It would be pretty tasteless if they added Nazi zombies or aliens in that thing, but it seems like they are actually trying to do a serious take on it, which makes it funnier.

Looking at the BTS pics from the Asylum production, I'm no longer bothered by the extras in the trailer of the Nolan version.

That's every IMAX showing? Maybe I will end up watching Rogue One.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

They're not going to show this at digital IMAX cinemas, right?

 

[Discotheque]

Dios mio. He's doing it again. I was just gonna see star wars in regular theaters but now I gotta go Imax

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

New trailer will do me.

I really don't need to see 7 minutes of a drama film, let alone any film, before being able to watch the rest. Who needs the blue balls?

 

[Symphonic]

Oh snap, all IMAX?

 

[True Savior]

This stuff never gets to be shown here. Fuck this world.

 

[jstevenson]

I wonder if this is happening at the 70mm screenings

 

[Hexxen-Panda]

I wish this goes to all 70mm IMAX showings.
I'd drive 3.5 hours to see a little bit of the film.

 

[Decado]

This mean they are going to make Dunkirk pg-13

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Yay.
A world war 2 drama based on a real story is what I've always wanted to see taking my family to watch a star wars movie.

 

[-griffy-]

Hey I'm seeing Rogue One at the MN Zoo, good stuff!

 

[jett]

PG-13 seems to be all but confirmed with this stuff? Looking forward to seeing soldiers dropping like sacks of potatoes.

If it does I'm golden. Indy State Museum IMAX baby!

I am so hoping for a regular trailer to air with Rogue One next week.

PLEASE.

 

[takriel]

Is Hans Zimmer on board?

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

Is Hans Zimmer on board?

Yes. They confirmed that pretty early on, I believe.

 

[Messofanego]

Yay.

Your family will probably hate Star Wars but when they see that Dunkirk, they'll go "see kid, now that's what REAL war is about, not these pew pews and eooo noises".

 

[True Savior]

Yay.
A world war 2 drama based on a real story is what I've always wanted to see taking my family to watch a star wars movie.

It probably won't be a drama though. More of a thriller. And the prologue will be action-oriented.

Nolan screened the prologue again for the press tonight

http://www.metro.us/entertainment/w...opher-nolan-s-dunkirk/zsJqbo---zfpHuaRrbEvwc/

This part is interesting

How powerful is Christopher Nolan? He can lure sleepy journalists out of bed to watch a mere five minutes of his next movie. (There was a nice bagel spread, though.) And it wasn’t even the opening five minutes: The so-called “prologue” of Nolan’s “Dunkirk,” screened five full months before its July release, isn’t in fact the opening. It’s a grab bag of random bits, pasted artfully together into a glorified montage, beamed onto a giant IMAX screen.

 

[Discotheque]

I figured that. I hope the final movie is paced and edited like that though because God damn was it fantastic

Made the IMAX ticket price worth just those few minutes. Frightening loud sound design, score ramping up the tension and he managed to build this sense of dread really well

 

[SJRB]

..so he janked all the cool bits out of the movie and made a 5-minute montage before the movie is even out?

Weird.

The dog fight's sound design was amazing.

So basically it's a greatest hits montage. That sounds interesting!

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Just be rated R, all I am looking forward too from GOATlan. Still wish he would have done sci-fi or some movie with a twist.. but at least he can get the WW movie out of the way and hopefully get back to a movie in the same genre as either Interstellar or Prestige or Inception.

 

[triplestation]

a friend and i got free imax/imax 3D passes so we're gonna use them to see this!

 

[Serpico99]

This info made me actually hyped for Dunkirk. I'm glad Nolan is bringing his storytelling style and cutting down on the exposition.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/03/01/dunkirk-christopher-nolans-wwii-epic-utilizes-unconventional-structure

 

[Discotheque]

The articles say Harry Styles but the magazine cover and trailers imply that other kid will be the focal point of the beach story

I love that he's going with multiple perspectives tho. So hyped for this. And it's really great to hear that he's aware of his exposition dialogue issues

 

[fr0st]

Sorry for the bump but when it's the next trailer coming out?

I'm thinking it's tied with Kong cause that's WB.

 

[Pachimari]

Warner Bros is showing Wonder Woman with Kong.

 

[MMarston]

As someone that used to be a big Nolan fan, this honestly dropped of my radar. Huh.

 

[Guzim]

It could be with King Arthur in May.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Sounding like it's been officially rated PG-13.

edit: http://www.filmratings.com/downloads/cara_rating_bulletin.pdf Rated PG-13 for intense war experience and some language.

PG-13 for a war movie is odd. Wouldn't the target audience be 17+?

[Llyranor]

Maybe most of the action will be air-focused, so the extra rating wouldn't affect it too much.

 

[jelly]

It's probably tension and emotion rather than gruesome violence as the focus of the film. The teaser shows as much.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Man that's disappointing. You're letting me down GOATlan :'(

 

[duckroll]

The target audience are human beings on the planet who have heard of Christopher Nolan.

 

[Symphonic]

Well, yeah, he's a big name. A straight war movie is different from Batman and sci-fi flicks, though. Arrival and Hacksaw Ridge are similar maturity level but kids would probably be more interested in Arrival because "aliens".

 

[Sectorseven]

I guess that means no blood.

 

[BHK3]

I don't mind there being no gore but how much blood will there be?

well that's odd.

 

[PuppetSlave]

Not a huge war movie genre fan normally but got to admit, the trailer I saw at an Imax was pretty intense. If the movie holds up to the trailer this could be an modern classic. PG 13 or no PG13.

 

[PanSexual_Peacock]

PG-13 is fine. Nolan has said he didn't really make a war film. More of a survival film. If the prologue is anything to go by, this film will be filled with suspense and tension.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

Tell me one movie about something gruesome, that wouldn't have been better with an R-rating?

Of course the movie can still be good and intense, but if so in spite of it being PG-13.
