New Dunkirk movie to be made

Like someone mentioned the teaser gave very little away so hard to judge. Always thought a UK movie about the Burma Campaign would be interesting such as Kohima or the Admin Box.

 

Agreed. One imagines panicked evacuation scenes like those depicted in Shanghai in Empire of the Sun.

 

Scenes for something like the battle of the Tennis Court at Kohima would be pretty brutal and intense.

 

Saw a short trailer for this at the cinema before Anthropoid yesterday. It was quite short, more of a teaser than a full trailer.

 

The trailer is available on the film's website. Having forgotten that Nolan was directing Dunkirk, I thought that it was for an environmental apocalypse end of the world film until the shot of a crowd of British soldiers!

Thanks - couldn't make that site play the trailer for me, but found it on youtube:


We get sand, surf, helmets, and a glimpses of rifles - if that isn't enough for at least one mistake to be spotted then this forum is losing its touch!

Sand grains too coarse for Dunkirk... the increase in salination since 1940 has resulted in a different water hue today... teeth anachronistically shiny for period...

 

And they've misspelled "Theatre".

 

And I don't know how many people have been salivating in the English Channel...

 

I was chatting with a chap who supplied vehicles and suggested a group outing to an early showing in order to heckle inaccuracies...."We were bloody heckling during the filming" was the response...

 

You lot are too harsh

1. It's a high budget war film with next to no, if any CGI - That makes me happy.

2. It's a British focused war film with no Americans winning the war - That makes me happy.

3. It's a war film about Dunkirk, I never thought I'd see that happen so that makes me very happy.

No war film will ever be 100% accurate these days, especially without CGI. From what I've seen so far I have no complaints, remember what you are seeing on the sets may not necessarily be noticed on the screen so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the film. The one fact that doesn't escape me is that it's putting Dunkirk and what happened there 77 years ago (when the film is released) on the map. I think that's a big financial gamble because outside of the UK there probably isn't a massive market, certainly not that appealing to American's I wouldn't have thought. Anyway I'm optimistic and excited in equal measures

 

i too would love to see a film on the Burma campaign. I don't have any prob with cgi, if...done correctly as in the clip below.

 

Andy I agree

With Harry Styles in it all his fans from around the world will go and watch it and they will learn about that period of history.

 

Drew5233 your point is extremely well made. We're facing many of the same issues on our film, while striving for accuracy, there's some things we just cannot achieve without the use of CGI, though again, its a case of using it only where we must, rather than where we can. (It's also expensive, for example its cheaper for us to hire a real spitfire than to build, render an animate a 3D CGI model of one, can you believe that?) and while we will where possible try to get everything as correct as we can, we're under no illusions some people will just go and watch the film with a notebook ready to list everything we got wrong. Plus unlike Dunkirk,we don't have an endless pot of studio money, but that can too, come with many drawbacks. Casting someone like Harry Styles is a very shrewd move on the part of the film production. War films are generally not watched by a female audience, a young female audience even less so. By casting him in it, someone with the biggest following in the UK, in that category, you guarantee that at least part of your audience will be from that group. As CL1 says, this can only be a good thing, because a small portion of those people who then see it may even become interested in the subject and read more about it. This can only be a good thing (As long as they don't scream constantly in the bloody cinema) Your also correct that the film is a big financial gamble, because war films that are not about or featuring Americans or American stars, generally do not do very well in the United States, so Christopher Nolan, because of the weight he carries, probably managed to get them to agree to do this film off the back of directing one more Batman movie. We await it with keen anticipation. Certainly it is good that it is indeed being made.

 

Christopher Nolan is among the top 10 of the films directors ,and his sucess are as well public as critic.
"interstellar" , for the ones who had seen it , is much more a film about humans than one about space.

His father is ENGLISH , never forget it .

It is why i have great hopes regarding this movie.
Cause he added french soldiers fighting.
That means that he is an honest man

Seriously , the trailer has such a power of evocation , with nothing :3 images , the siren of a stuka , and the tic tac of a wath..A masterpiece in itself.
And i don't write this cause i have seen 14 times Interstellar and listen only to Hans Zimmer 's soundtrack of this movie!

 

Looking forward to this.

 

Unconfirmed rumour: long Dunkirk trailer with Rogue One, possibly Imax only...

 

Not such good news:

Well, is it coming out or not? And will there be subtitles in it? Once I watched one British made movie about a downed RAF crew and a downed Luftwaffe crew seeking shelter in the same cabin up in the mountains of Norway during the 1940 campaign. I could clearly understand the Germans speaking English with German accents, and one of the Britts fairly well, but the other RAF guy might as well been speaking Swahili since I couldn't make out a thing he said in the whole movie.

There's also been some mention of a 2 1/2 minute trailer for the mere mortals doing the rounds on the Dunkirk Movie pages.
