Warner Bros. has unveiled the stark first poster for the next film from The Dark Knight and Inception director Christopher Nolan, the WWII action-thriller Dunkirk. Written and directed by Nolan, the film is based on true events and chronicles the evacuation of Dunkirk during the British military operation that saved 330,000 lives as Allied soldiers were surrounded by German forces.
This debut poster, unfortunately, features a pretty familiar design that we’ve seen for countless films before (Star Trek Into Darkness, anyone?). The point is to get across the magnitude of the event, as we see a lone soldier witnessing the horrors of the evacuation, but the familiarity of the design is hard to shake. Regardless, Dunkirk is one of the most anticipated films of 2017.
