One Direction's Harry Styles Joins Christopher Nolan's WWII Drama DUNKIRK

In a casting move that can be described as boy band meets Battle of the Bulge, One Direction member Harry Styles will be joining the production of Christopher Nolan's WWII action-adventure project Dunkirk.

There was an extensive search to find the film's young leads. Along with Styles, English actors Jack Lowden and Aneurin Barnard are in talks to board epic production. Newcomer Fionn Whitehead has been cast in what could best be described as the lead role of the project but sources say the script is ensemble in nature.

The Warner Bros. film centers on the British military evacuation of the French city of Dunkirk in 1940, one of the biggest battles during the way. Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh are the bold names that will surround the newcomers.

Production on the film, which will be shot on 65mm large format film and Imax, will begin in May. Dunkirk is set to hit theaters July 21, 2017.

Dunkirk will be the Styles' feature film debut. Last summer, it was announced that One Direction would disband in 2016 and would not tour for their fifth studio album, so this casting may mark a career shift for the British recording artists, from the arena stage to the silver screen.

Lowden recently appeared in BBC's adaptation of War and Peace, while Barnard starred as King Richard in BBC-Starz miniseries The White Queen.

Hopefully he gets blown up or he gets captured and is thrown in Auschwitz.

Cillian Murphy Reteams with Christopher Nolan on WWII Thriller DUNKIRK

Christopher Nolan is enlisting his longtime collaborator Cillian Murphy to join the ensemble cast of his action-thriller Dunkirk after working together on the Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.

Newcomer Fionn Whitehead will star alongside British actors Jack Lowden and Aneurin Barnard, as well as One Director singer Harry Styles. Murphy is expected to play a supporting role alongside Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh.

Nolan wrote Dunkirk, which chronicles the WWII evacuation of Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo, the British military operation that saved the lives of 330,000 Allied soldiers who were surrounded by German forces. He’ll also produce the film with Emma Thomas.

Murphy was last seen opposite Chris Hemsworth and Benjamin Walker in Warner Bros.’ whale tale In the Heart of the Sea. He next stars in Ben Wheatley’s crime drama Free Fire with Brie Larson and Sean Ellis’ WWII thriller Anthropoid with Jamie Dornan.

Announcement Trailer for Christopher Nolan's WWII Film DUNKIRK

Meh, his last two movies have sucked. He was my favorite director for a while but he may be the new M Night.

woah low blow

I've always loved the Nolans style. He blends the cinematography and mood of the films very well. As far as the trailer goes, I really think we can have something special here. Nolan films tend to be bleak, and seeing WW2 potrayed on the screen with his style of film making should be very interesting. I loved in the trailer how the soldiers are depicted as calm, only showing subtle intrigue to the sounds of what I can only assume are war plane coming to kill there asses. The moment when all the soldiers realize whats going was gold.

He's one of relatively few blockbuster directors today that I trust to combine the scale of WW2 and its events with the respect that they deserve.

Looks good. This may be one of the few war films of recent years worth seeing.

Yep, pretty much this.

I so cannot wait for this.

Should I be worried about the lack of Tom Hardy in the trailer?

Maybe. Hardy is just a supporting character in the film though.

Is this the first Nolan film that doesn't revolve around a fantastical premise?
