With production still under way on directorChristopher Nolan’s World War II dramaDunkirk, we’ve already seen a few differentset photos, although they haven’t been terribly revealing. One of the most surprising additions to the cast wasOne DirectionsingerHarry Styles, who makes his acting debut in this movie, although nothing about his character has been revealed yet. Today we have our first look at the singer-turned-actor on the set in Swanage, England, where the 22-year-old star is seen guzzling a few beers.
The photos showcaseHarry Styleswith a number of beer bottles and other items while hanging out of a train window, taking a few chugs. No further details were given regarding this scene, but it’s possible that this scene happens just before this soldier goes off to war, as he gets a few last drinks in before reporting for duty.
Dunkirkopens as hundreds of thousands of British andAllied troopsare surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in.Dunkirkfeatures a prestigious cast, includingTom Hardy(The Revenant,Mad Max: Fury Road,Inception),Mark Rylance(Bridge of Spies,Wolf Hall),Kenneth Branagh(My Week with Marilyn,Hamlet,Henry V) andCillian Murphy(Inception,The Dark KnightTrilogy), as well as newcomerFionn Whitehead. The first photos that debuted in May revealed several WWII soldiers getting ready for battle.
The last we heard about this project was a report from last month, which claimed that directorChristopher Nolanwill be crashing a vintageWorld War IIplane for this movie. While unconfirmed, this report claimed that Warner Bros. paid a massive $5 million sum to purchase a vintage plane, only to crash it as part of this production. This plane will reportedly be outfitted with several IMAX cameras to film scenes on before it will be crashed.
Christopher Nolanis directing from his own script and producing with his longtime partnerEmma Thomas. Warner Bros.
