It was back in May that Warner Bros. announced that Christopher Nolan had started shooting Dunkirk in France, and now the first teaser trailer is finally here. With the massively popular Harry Styles in the movie, set photos have been popping up online from day one, but the One Direction singer is nowhere to be found in this still downright amazing look at the movie.

Written and directed by The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar helmer, Dunkirk looks set to make use of a mixture of IMAX and 65mm film to bring the story to the screen.

It’s pretty clear from just this trailer alone that the movie is going to visually stunning, and the movie opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces. Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea they face an impossible situation as the enemy closes in. We get a taste of that in the trailer you can see below.

The incredible cast of Dunkirk also includes Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, and Cillian Murphy. Could this be the movie which finally gets Nolan that long overdue Academy Award? We’ll see, but it’s currently set to be released worldwide next July, so stay tuned…
