Warner Bros. must really be worried based on the amount of TV spots that have aired during literally every other commercial break in the Final Four tonight.

As a Nolan fan, I actually want to see how this would play out.

Yes. But it's not playing in IMAX anywhere at this point.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Nolan also got $20 million for this and he's getting 20% of the BO gross as well lol.
For some reason this movie looks genuinely awful to me.

It's good that he clarified this is not like a typical war movie. Excited!
It sounds very brisk and focused which seems like a bit of a sea change for the types of films he makes. It sounds less like Saving Private Ryan and more like Children of Men. Not directly depicting combat on the big scale and focusing on smaller vignettes is kind of a fresh approach if done well.
Definitely reassuring that he addressed this.
While the trailers haven't blown me away I do like the sound of a more focused Nolan story, especially considering how clumsily put together his past two films were.

A new 2:25 trailer will be released soon, most likely with Guardians of the Galaxy 2.

Not Like he can direct good action anyway.

Don't really agree here. There's more to action then Hand to Hand combat.
The fact that it's less of a war movie with more of a survival aspect makes me more interested with the PG-13 rating. Looking forward to seeing how Nolan presents this idea.
As long as it isn't a terrible romance movie like Paschendale was, what a disappointment that was for being a Canadian WW1 story.

I don't think Nolan is aiming to put out the next Saving Private Ryan. I don't understand why people feel that that's what it should be compared to.
Similarly, I don't know why everyone thinks that SPR is the mold with which this should be made from. As if SPR is the catch all style with which all war films should strive for. It's an incredibly narrow minded approach.
The less this reminds me of SOR, the better. If you guys want an experience similar to SPR then I suggest you just rewatch SPR. The moment Nolan directly models his films from the husk of others is the day cinema suffers a major loss. The opinions in this thread baffle me.

I believe he's using the same stunt team as well.
Well what other war movies exist (lol)
To my knowledge Nolan hadn't really spoken about Dunkirk not being an action-focused war film until people started asking why the heck he would make a war film that's PG-13. So until recently I can see why folks would have brought up the top-tier films of the genre for comparison (almost all of which are R-rated). Now that he's clarified what kind of film he's making, the rating makes more sense.

saw the bump, thought a trailer happened. Dang it lol.

I just think that after TDKR and Interstellar he wanted to step away from the epic 3-hour bloatfests and do a lean, mean thriller that gets people's blood pumping. Basically, think of the climax of Inception but for an entire movie.
Yes.

I want someone to make a variant of "Stunt on these hoes" with that picture.
He's gotta make his Deer Hunter style film first, with a scene where a man hits a woman and it's played off as no big deal.

Source? I thought it was just Aquaman using the same stunt team as Fury Road i.e. Keir Beck, the stunt coordinator?
http://www.indiewire.com/2017/01/aquaman-using-mad-max-fury-road-stunt-team-1201764173/
I don't know about the stunt team, but he changed his VFX supervisor for the first time in over a decade to Andrew Jackson, visual effects supervisor for Fury Road
Inception hallway fight, TDK Truck, TDKR opening, Interstellar docking scene.
