Warner Bros. has released the latest trailer for its coming World War II pic “Dunkirk,” directed by Christopher Nolan. The studio released the preview in conjunction with Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” which begins previews Thursday evening. The film’s website included a countdown of the seconds till the release of the trailer.
Written and directed by Nolan, the film tells the story of the chaotic rescue of Allied soldiers during one of the fiercest battles of the war. War action scenes include aerial bombardments, sinking ships, and a beach filled with ravaged troops.
“Dunkirk” stars Oscar-winner Mark Rylance, stage legend Kenneth Branagh, pop sensation Harry Styles, as well as Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy, both of whom worked on Nolan’s “Dark Knight” films and “Inception.” “Dunkirk” hits theaters on July 21, when it will face off against Luc Besson’s science-fiction adventure, “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.” Nolan’s previous Warner Bros. films “The Dark Knight,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” and “Inception” all opened around the same time.
