This week filming began on Christopher Nolan’s epic World War II drama, Dunkirk, in the exact location in France where, 76 years ago today, 100,000 soldiers were evacuated. Thousands of extras have been seen marching along the beach where British and Allied troops were surrounded by enemy forces during Operation Dynamo decades ago. Recreating the scene has been a task of epic proportions, in addition to the extras, 6 vintage planes have been spotted flying over the beach, as well as 2 helicopters to capture the shoot.
But, the large scale shoot isn’t the only reason the movie is making news. Sightings of one of the film’s stars, Harry Styles, are breaking the internet. Reports that the One Direction singer was staying at Dunkrik’s Hotel Borel forced Styles to move to a new hotel as thousands of fans have descended on Dunkirk.
Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance have also been spotted on the set.
Check out a few photos from the filming at the Daily Mail, as well as a couple of the Harry Styles photos going around below.
