"Can you tell our readers a secret about your next film," Empire asked Christopher Nolan at the awards two years ago. "I will tell them nothing," was his unsurprising response. Word on what we now know to be Dunkirk has been typically unforthcoming in the time since, but there have been a couple of brief sightings. We saw a teaser over the summer, and a poster a few days ago. Now here's the first full trailer – although Warners are still calling it a teaser. The "Survival Teaser" to be precise. Be teased below.
Dunkirk is set at a precarious time for the allied forces in the conflict: with hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded on the continent by enemy forces, their backs to the sea, they're faced with a seemingly impossible situation as their foes close in. But that's not the end of the story...
Nolan's cast for this one includes a blend of veterans and new recruits, including Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance. The movie itself arrives on 21 July next year, but audiences going to see Rogue One in IMAX will also watch a seven-minute prologue of Dunkirk shot in IMAX 65mm. And we'd be surprised if the first full trailer didn't show its face sometime in the coming days.
