Here’s the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s war movie Dunkirk
Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance all star in the Inception director's World War II epic
THE Dark Knight Rises director Christoper Nolan has revealed the first footage of his long-awaited World War II epic Dunkirk.
The 'announcement trailer' is brief but loaded with atmosphere, showing bodies on a beach and then terrified Allied forces ducking as an enemy aircraft swoops over them.
The movie tells the story of Operation Dynamo, the attempted rescue of thousands of Allied forces who were cut off and surrounded by German troops in 1940.
The mission is one of the most incredible stories of World War II, which Winston Churchill described as turning a "colossal military disaster" into "a miracle of deliverance."
Dunkirk's big name cast includes Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh and Cillian Murphy.
It also marks the acting debut of One Direction's Harry Styles, although it's not known how significant his part will be.
Mark Rylance has been full of praise for Nolan's work on the movie, telling Empire, "Every great filmmaker at some moment makes a war film."
"But Chris' script-writing is so brilliant that I think he has the potential to make a very, very powerful and simple, pure war film about a miraculous loss."
"I think it has the potential to be just a marvellous film."
Mark Rylance has won an Oscar and is currently the BFG - so who are we to argue?
Dunkirk is still in production but is expected to be with us on July 21, 2017.
