            One of the most anticipated films for us here at Cinema Wave has to be Christopher Nolan’s (Interstellar, The Dark Knight) next directorial effort, Dunkirk. It appeared at number two on my most-anticipated list and I know our fellow writer, Diego has it as his number one most-anticipated film of the year. Now, we have a new trailer for the WWII film that gives us a better look at the cast and story.

            Dunkirk tackles the true story of Operation Dynamo in which many British civilians traveled to Northern France to evacuate the British Army. 338,000 men were rescued from death though others weren’t as lucky. The most interesting aspect of the film thus far is that a film in which you’d expect so much death and authenticity would get a PG-13 rating. It worries me a bit that that’s in fact the case but if anyone could pull it off, it’s Nolan.

            Check out the new trailer below for Dunkirk! The film stars Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Harry Styles, James D’Arcy and Fionn Whitehead. The film opens in theaters on July 21^st. What do you guys think of the new trailer? Do you think Nolan’s latest could garner awards buzz? Let us know in the comment section below!
