In the world of Hollywood blockbusters there’s arguably no bigger proponent of shooting on film than Christopher Nolan, and the director is turning to both 65mm and IMAX film for his next project. Variety reports that Nolan’s secretive new film is Dunkirk, a World War II story based around Operation Dynamo, in which over 300,000 British, French, and Belgian troops were rescued from the French seaport of Dunkirk in 1940 after being surrounded by German troops. Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh are both reportedly in talks to join the project. (The French outlet La Voix Du Nord first broke the news about the project, with Variety confirming the report today.)
