When you’ve directed the Dark Knight trilogy you have decent street cred, which is why people are already fawning over their first glimpse at Dunkirk.
Making a war epic is always a rather risky project, as you really have to hit it out the park to draw big cinema audiences.
Mashable think that’s doable:
Every great director makes a war movie — think Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket and Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now — and this is Nolan’s chance to prove he doesn’t need Batman, Leonardo DiCaprio or Matthew McConaughey to deliver a big fat hit.
Perhaps he’ll even get that Oscar nomination you just know he covets. This time around, Nolan is working with a young cast of unknowns and barely-known Brits, as well as former One Direction singer Harry Styles and big screen veterans Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy and reigning Oscar winner Mark Rylance.
That’s right, Harry effing Styles. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I guess we’ll find out when the movie drops next year July.
