Agreed, but not nearly enough to cover that budget. That's why it'll be interesting to see how well this film performs in other markets. I'm assuming it needs the American market to perform well.

Harry Styles acting debut should help.

 

[Falchion]

I'm ready for this although it seems like it's going to be an emotionally draining movie to watch.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Hmm could be a good movie but doesn't really come across well in the trailer. I don't understand who the main character is or what exactly is going on

 

[SentientStone]

Not feeling it, I love Nolan but I don't love historic war period dramas.

 

[KillerMan91]

War film with PG-13 rating. I mean it still can be decent and Nolan gave pretty good answer when asked about it but still. War film with PG-13 rating will mean that I am not ''OMG'' hyped.

 

[PizzaFace]

Meh

Big Nolan fan, but this is disappointing

 

[Sojgat]

Some cool shots, but nothing else about it is really grabbing me.

 

[JB1981]

Getting the sense that this will be a tense, taut thriller. It's not gonna be a 3-hour war epic. Looking forward to it.

 

[Currygan]

I mean, finally a movie about English troops in WW2. About bleedin' freaking time. Thank you based future Bond director Nolan. Just know imma gonna shed a tear watching it since granps was actually a Dunkirk survivor

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Looks good

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Not feeling it, I love Nolan but I don't love historic war period dramas.

[antispin]

Claustrophobia triggered. Looks great.

 

[JJH]

Is there anything more British than toast with jam and tea during a warzone?

 

[_Nemo]

S'aight.

 

[dmshaposv]

That's one hell of a desperate attempt to win an Oscar.

An oscar baity trailer would at least remind you 20 times that:

Academy-award nominated Kenneth Branagh

Academy-award winning Mark Rylance

And Academy-award nominated Tom Hardy

Are featured in this.

Some more controversial and argued than others, but among other things Lord Gort's one sided (and possibly before getting such orders- technically making it akin to desertion) decision to retreat to Dunkirk with BEF troops without informing his Belgian and French allies who would then unwittingly provide cover for the retreat?

Lord Gort was the British field commander, and assessed the military situation as hopeless, which was correct. He thus ordered a retreat to try to save his men from destruction.

I mean... Surely you do not fully buy the whole "Dunkirk Miracle was really a victory" war propaganda thing, right?

It kept Britain in the war by saving the core of the British army.

Churchill himself remarked "wars are not won by evacuation".

 

[Pooya]

From juvenile gimmicky fantasy films to a serious war drama, obviously not all of his fans are going like it.

I like what I'm seeing, looks beautifully shot.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I'd shrug it off if it wasn't a Nolan flick based on these trailers.

Same. I'm interested to see how he handles it but it doesn't look like the kind of thing I normally like from Nolan.

 

[The Artisan]

it's cool that he works with the same actors but personally i would like it if he worked with different ones

 

[M.W.]

Another poor trailer. Movie looks boring.

 

[golem]

This trailer was somewhat better than the others but the whole.. drama of the movie seems a bit sterile.

 

[solomon]

I dunno something is not clicking for me with this film, the cinematography looks God-like though.

 

[D4Danger]

Hmm could be a good movie but doesn't really come across well in the trailer. I don't understand who the main character is or what exactly is going on

see there's this war right...

actually, none of this is going to make sense because it's the second one

 

[Bishop89]

ehhh still not feeling it.

Much better than that first trailer though.

 

[lightskintwin]

Harry Styles acting debut should help.

The problem is how much appeal does a historical war film overlap with Harry Styles core demographic? I don't think much.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

see there's this war right...

There'll be an opening scroll, I'm sure.

I bet there'll be a youtube recap or something the week before it opens.

 

[Mike Works]

Not a very well put together trailer, but it's Christopher Nolan, so Day 1 regardless.

 

[hydruxo]

The problem is how much appeal does a historical war film overlap with Harry Styles core demographic? I don't think much.

I think you'd be surprised. He has a shit ton of fans. They'd probably see it regardless of the type of film.

 

[Aurongel]

The problem is how much appeal does a historical war film overlap with Harry Styles core demographic? I don't think much.

1D fans would shelve out money to see him in a six hour long Lars Von Trier film about ice melting.

This film will perform just fine.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Hopefully this is R rated.

 

[lightskintwin]

I think you'd be surprised. He has a shit ton of fans. They'd probably see it regardless of the type of film.

Aren't most of his fans young women? I think that's the demographic least likely to be interested in this movie.

We shall see, but I think this film will have an uphill battle especially given it's release date, and competition of films that does a better job appealing to that demographic that are also fans of Harry Styles.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Hopefully this is R rated.

It's PG-13.

 

[One Eyed Willy]

You could plan that music over anything and it would make it awesome. Like doing homework or taking a dump to that music lol

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Hopefully this is R rated.

Why.

 

[Discotheque]

Cinematography gonna be nominated for this one. Looks fantastic visually

 

[WaterAstro]

Classic Inception Horn

 

[zsynqx]

Much better trailer

 

[WillyFive]

The bright, calm, and colorful nature of the images don't seem to match the tone the story is going for. Guess that's one of the downsides of doing things old-school.

 

[Kastrioti]

In Nolan We Trust

 

[ShadowKingpin]

Count me the fuck in!!!

 

[wandering]

Really? To me it seems very much "this is a super serious historical drama" color grading.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

see there's this war right...

actually, none of this is going to make sense because it's the second one

we need a movie about the military of every country involved before we can even THINK about doing WWII

sad to see warner bros. making the same mistake again by rushing things

 

[Wensih]

Better than the last trailer.

 

[ntropy]

Hmm could be a good movie but doesn't really come across well in the trailer. I don't understand who the main character is or what exactly is going on

hint: the title

 

[Zantetsuken]

This looks good. It was pretty intense to me.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

It's PG-13.

Ugh. Man war movies deserve to be rated R.

 

[effzee]

I hope it's NC17

 

[Elandyll]

Nothing you say contradicts what I said.

The "Miracle of Dunkirk" is both a myth and a piece of Propaganda which were probably necessary at the time.
It's probably time Now to have a bit of a clearer/ more critical view of it, unless it's just about perpetuating & repeating the romantic idea behind the propaganda piece.

I totally understand it would be hard for a UK English raised and taught person to do though.

Rescuing an entire army off the beach was a remarkable achievement, and facilitated Britain staying in the war. The British hyped it as a silver lining to a tragedy, which is what it was.

That's why they cast him in this.
