Christopher Nolan moves away from superheroes and sci-fi for a decidedly more grounded genre: the war film.

Documenting WWII's Dunkirk evacuation, Nolan has amassed an incredible cast including Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, promising newcomer Fionn Whitehead and...One Direction's Harry Styles?

The little that's been revealed so far is enigmatic but enticing as is typical for Nolan, not giving too much away but at least showing off Hoyte van Hoytema's alluring visuals and the cast in the midst of chaos.

This should be a refreshing change of pace for the Dark Knight director, and could finally win him that awards respect he's clearly craving.
