Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk is undoubtedly one of the best films this year – and while the esteemed filmmaker has assembled a stellar cast, many of the film’s leading roles have still been left in the hands of somewhat inexperienced actors – those you may not have heard of yet, but will no doubt learn about soon. Two of which are Tom Glynn-Carney and Jack Lowden – and we had the pleasure of speaking to the pair about their experiences shooting this incredible production.
Spending the vast majority of the shoot on a boat, we asked the pair whether they ever suffered from seasickness – or if they ever felt the urge to jump into the water. They also talk about their collaboration with Nolan, and just how vital the Hans Zimmer score is to this endeavour. They go on to discuss the back stories they gave their characters, while Lowden speaks about working with Tom Hardy.

Synopsis
In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.
Dunkirk is released on July 21st, you can read our 5* review of the film right here.
