Spitfire at Dunkeswell airfield in Devon which appears in flying scenes in the 2017 film Dunkirk, a British epic war action thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Christopher Nolan. The story is set in World War II and centres around the Dunkirk evacuation. In September 2015, Warner Bros. announced Dunkirk and set the film for a 21 July 2017 theatrical release. Hoyte van Hoytema was chosen as cinematographer; Hoytema previously collaborated with director Christopher Nolan on his 2014 film Interstellar. Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance were in talks to join the ensemble as supporting characters in late 2015. Fionn Whitehead was cast as the lead in March 2016, and Jack Lowden, Aneurin Barnard and Harry Styles were added to the list shortly after. Cillian Murphy joined the following month. James D'Arcy, Barry Keoghan and Tom Glynn-Carney were included in the line-up later that May.
