Cool, shame the planes are scaled down models but imagine not many of the ones he needs can still fly/be taken out of the museums.
>>71974252
I really hope this does well, but unfortunately it has to appeal to Americans while being based before they enter the war, and the rest of the world that don't give a shit about Dunkirk.
>>71974318
Yeah well America don't give a fuck about space travel and Interstellar did OK, though it mostly made it up in the foreign market.
Hopefully his name being on it will be enough, can't wait for a trailer
based Nolan
This is starting to look good.
If he hired someone competent to write the dialogs for him, this could become the only watchable film of this year.

>>71974895
Get help.
>>71974788
Lots of involuntary comedy.
At least in his last two movies.
>>71974788
For (you)
>>71974908
maybe next time froggy.
He's a shit director without any visual appeal. His visuals are TV-tier. There's no reason to use real battleships if he isn't going to fix his visuals anyway.
>>71974788
They're extremely painful.
Ask question an extra on this movie
>>71974252
>>71975065
What's next on his masterplan?
>>71974318
I think Americans like any movie to do with WWII.
Just promise them action (which it'll have) and they'll do fine.

Is Aiden Gillen confirmed as MI6?
>>71974252
You know, honestly. This kind of does change my opinion of him.
I don't think his movies are that impressive as films or as works of art but he deserves a lot of credit for taking the time and energy to avoid cgi.
He's worthy of way more respect than Abrams or even Spielberg after his recent stuff.

Overrated trash movies.
>>71974252
he looks like the wisslpb girl
>>71975727
He is a small guy then
>>71974337
This.
Like him or not, Nolan is really the only director working in the current Hollywood climate that can sell a movie on his name alone (Cameron might be able to as well, but he hasn't made a new movie since Avatar so we'll have to see what happens with the sequels).
He is one of the only directors who can generate a great profit on original blockbusters these days -- days filled with sequels and franchises (ironically The Dark Knight might be the biggest reason for this).
WE WUZ THE REAL WINNERS AT DUNKIRK!
>>71974252
Nolan is a retard, CGI is the present and future of film, not saying everything has to be CG, but for one thing, using CGI aircraft would be much better than Scaled down models, simply because they won't reflect the lighting of the actual aircraft, mark my words, when you see the film, the RC aircraft won't look real at all, the lighting will really fuck it up.
That said, I'm looking forward to the movie nonetheless
>dabbing
Disgusting
>movie taking place in Europe and the
>casting mostly white males
Ugh I can't even....
>>71977841
Funny. Interstellar used a ton of models and I think it looked 10x better than the majority of CGI clusterfucks. It's the same reason 2001 has aged so well visually.
Plus with all the green-screen bullshit coming out of Hollywood I am in desperate need to see more movies that dapple in practical effects.
>If he hired someone competent to write the dialog for him, this could become the only watchable film of this year.
You want less memes?

>>71978062
Maybe the lack of Jonathan Nolan will be better?
I mean, Inception had a lot of exposition but it was "good Nolan" exposition, and while I loved Interstellar and TDKR I do acknowledge there was too much exposition in both.
Maybe Chris works better alone on scripts than with his brother?

Genuinely curious. It feels like it has been at least a couple years, if not more.

I want a well-written movie too, anon, but I also want the film to be visually impressive.
To me, the only films truly worth a damn are those that are quality in terms of both written storytelling and visual storytelling.
That's why I hate current Hollywood -- it is always one or the other, never both.
>>71977885
Where are all the trans and POC? This is all problematic.
>>71978670
>mfw the Lord Nolan is now using the meme magic he has generated from Baneposting to finally win an Oscar
You can tell Nolan takes himself very seriously; he has taken the epiteth "the modern Kubrick" to heart. But all the celluloid reels, practical effects, and real size models in the world are not going to make him a good director. He's like a child trying to play grown up.
>>71978747
>Nolan choses cast based on historical fact rather than PC affirmative action
Based.
>>71978714
Oh i agree with you. Mostly nowadays, it's great visuals but shitty story. And Nolan is the king of that zone.
>>71978751
At least he is trying then. It's more one could say about 95% of US movies coming out, let alone blockbusters.
>>71978774
>>71978747
>ignoring the still that triggered /pol/lacks a few weeks ag0
>>71978788
He's not just trying. He comes all pretentious saying "this will change the nature of film itself" or some shit, and then you get 2h trailer for a film that could have been great if it wasn't such a ridiculous story.
>>71978751
Who would you call a good director these days anyway?
I'm a Nolanfag personally, but I honestly can't think of any mainstream "directors" that are worth a damn anymore.
50's had George Stevens, Fred Zinneman, Billy Wilder, and Alfred Hitchcock.
60's had Mike Nichols, Stanley Kubrick, and Robert Wise.
70's had Coppola, Fosse, Lument, Allen, etc.
What the fuck happened?
>>71978788
this is mostly why i like nolan, he does try. he's not the best director in the history of everything, but he's one of the few we have left trying to make a decent movie. he fails and does stupid shit, but at least it isn't always pure schlock
>>71978854
With the influx of capeshit, remakes, and franchise bullshit I 100% welcome his pretentious attitude that he will change the nature of film itself
Even if it is overblown and he fails -- at least he's giving the current establishment a fight. Who the fuck else is there to prevent cinema from turning into nothing but overblown CGI franchise bullshit flicks?
>>71974290
Couldn't they just take planes that are roughly the same size and put cardboard on them to make them look like ww2 planes?
Will Aidan Gillen star in the kino?
>>71978854
Breaking news: Most people involved with art and/or making movies are massive dicks.
>>71978933
No you fucking moron
>>71975496
I would've gone for Zayn, but still that's weird. There are plenty of young actors, actual actors who are growing up on the stage and screen. And you cast this nobody.
Don't mind me, just posting the superior war film. Dunkirk will be decked out in cinematography, bloom effect and some M. Night subplot.

He tries, that I will concede, but he always falls short. But he's drunk off his own success, convinced he's providing the audience with an "intelligent" alternative to men in spandex and monsters (hence the convoluted plots and terrible expositions).
>>71978861
Michael Mann is the only director currently working who makes blockbusters for adults. His movies are extremely refreshing and offers a welcome respit from both superheroes as well as Nolan's "everyone is mildly mentally deficient"-universes. I don't know how he gets to keep making movies considering almost everything flops, but someone seems to be willing to bankroll Mann ever at a financial loss, and I'm thankful for that.
>>71974788
nothing
/tv/ will love it
>>71979133
mann hasn't really done anything worth a damn in over 10 years. great action director but yea, 10 years man
>>71978901
I see your point, but there are lots of others filmmakers out there...Nolan is the tip of the iceberg, but if you think he's arthouse because he doesn't do CGI or franchise movies, you're blinding yourself.
>>71979009
yeah i guess, it's just that he has a bigger mouth than others right now. When Ridley Scott is pretentious though, you realise he did The duellists, Alien and Blade Runner...and that he actually can be pretentious if he wants to be. So what if he makes 3 shitty movies out of 5...

2. a dickhead
go read up what he did to malcolm mcdowell after they finished clockwork. and that is just one example.
he was a fucking dick.
>>71978861
"Mainstream" and "Directors" don't go together like 2 + 2. People who primarily, if not exclusively watch mainstream blockbuster cinema don't care or know about directors.

I want you to go to vocaroo, read that out loud and then post it here for everyone.
>>71975496
i think there's going to enough action to cover any lapses in acting ability that he might have, nolan making a movie is enough to draw a lot of money and he doesn't need to hire boy bands to promote anything, so I think the casting has potential.
Why did Britain fail at breaching the Atlantic wall when America did it with such relative ease?
>>71974252
>Real WW2 Battleships
>Actually only a destroyer.
For shame, Nolan. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Seriously, though, it's not like using real warships as set dressing is unprecedented. The heavy cruiser USS Salem doubled as the German battleship Graf Spee for a movie decades ago.
>>71979347
Read Emilio D'Alessandros book. He was demanding, tough, and possibly on the spectrum when it came to his odd interests in subjects and details but not what people considered being a dick was just behavior associated with being tough. I will say I'm not familiar with what he did to McDowell

>>71979428
>>71979428
>nolan making a movie is enough to draw a lot of money
Yeah, no. Directors are not a factor to the crowds that draw a half a gorillion dollars.
If your shit isn't marketed, you could have Bill Clinton direct it and nobody would give a second fuck.
>>71979493
ill summarize what he did to mcdowell
malcom and kubrick got very close during the filming of clockwork, like they were almost best friend levels of close. as soon as they finished filming kubrick basically cut all contact with malcolm and told him that all they had was a working relationship and relationship ends with the movie. malcolm got really depressed over that because he thought he made a lifelong friend.
>>71976433
>Sersha ruins everything: the movie.
>>71979470
>It's a American has never read anything outside of his propagandic school curriculum episode
Are we hating Nolan now? Wtf? He didn't have any flops for entire career. His capeshit is till best, his Prestige is one of the best movies of all time so far. But, yeah, USA WW films are generic and stupid af. They haven't seen true grim face of war, so I didn't surprised.

I can't believe of all the Disney films THIS is the one that flopped.
It's almost like people are intentionally going out to see the most safe, bland, studio-driven films out there while ignoring anything that even has a HINT of a director's voice.
It's why we get stuck with shit like Minions making over a billion while other, better films get ignored by the masses.
It's why we are going to have nothing but generic animated films and capeshit in the near future. Sad but true.

I didn't forget. There were big impact but can't be compared to USSR part. I mean, yeah, write something about African action. Nope, we wanna do films about our part in Europe where we did absolutely nothing except fast rush to Berlin just because we wanted to overrun fucking ruskies.
>>71980023
the reason we have way more movies about the european part of the war is just simply due to how well it works in movies. the pacific part of the war is just island hopping, so it doesn't really make great entertainment
plus the whole liberating jews and all that. it's dramatic.

band of brothers, does that count even though it's a tv show? it's basically a 10 hour long movie
It's silly really, we're at a point now where, in the right hands, CGI can be pretty much indistinguishable from reality, especially for vehicles and locations, not so much for characters or monsters.
Sure, CGI wasn't so great throughout the 90s and the 00s, but we're at a point now where it's good enough to be used adequately, and yet now is the time that all these directors wave their dicks around as they declare they're rejecting it.
>>71979696

>>71980636
>CGI can be pretty much indistinguishable from reality, especially for vehicles and locations
Bullshit, you can always tell when a plane or helicopter is CGI. Models and miniatures are still superior.
>yet now is the time that all these directors wave their dicks around as they declare they're rejecting it.
What are you talking about? Nolan is the ONLY blockbuster director who refuses to use CGI unless it's absolutely necessary. Every other blockbuster director extensively uses CGI.
>>71981204
It was a key point in the promotion of The Force Awakens.
Obviously it was a lie, the movie was loaded with CGI, but the fact is they've realised they can actually sell a movie on that rhetoric, it's clearly what Nolan is doing here.
>>71981373
I don't think this is just a gimmick, it seems like Nolan genuinely prefers practical effects over CGI. With Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy he barely used CGI but the studio never heavily advertised that.
>>71981481
Still can't believe the Bat was legit.
>>71981481
They did for Interstellar, there was a lot of fuss over the ship and the robot being practical effects.
Of course, the most fuss was made over the black hole being an accurate representation based on a scientific paper (later clarified to be false, they based it on the science but made it look prettier than it would be), and obviously they're not exactly going to be able to do that as a practical effect.
