Dunkirk is one of the most highly anticipated films of this summer. Written, co-produced and directed by auteur Christopher Nolan (behind films such as Interstellar and the Dark Knight trilogy), Dunkirk is a World War II thriller about the unlikely evacuation of Allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk, France.

In April, Olaf Tyaransen interviewed Cillian Murphy about his film Free Fire, and now the Cork actor will be joining the cast of Dunkirk as a soldier rescued by the crew of a little boat. The film also stars familiar faces such as Tom Hardy and Kenneth Branagh. Newcomers to the big screen include lead Fionn Whitehead and even Harry Styles.
