"Dunkirk" promo

“The singer could have easily ventured into cinema with a romantic comedy or a much lighter suspense film. However, the challenge of participating in such a historical production led him to act in Dunkirk. ‘What happened on that beach is a touching story. They are a group of practically innocent young people who are left destitute of everything, almost naked, exposed. In such a situation you react in two ways, you get the best of yourself or the worst. Dunkirk is not a war movie, but a very personal interest for Chris that is closer to the loss of naivety in extreme circumstances,’ says the singer and now actor.”

Rolling Stone Mexico (July 2017) Harry: “Chris tells the same story through three different points of view: air, sea, and land. This makes the narrative structure more interesting. [Chris] tells what happened through the characters relationships with each other. Like every Nolan movie, we’re talking about a big production, but it’s in the little details and in the subtle acts that this story is told.” “He’s great, he’s a good actor and a lovely guy. I think the hysteria – [perhaps] it should have been expected when you take a figure like that and give him a short back and sides and put him in a uniform. I think it’s got a bit silly really. The meaning has got lost somewhere along the way and people have stopped realising there’s an amazing cast – including Harry – but there’s, you know, the creme de la creme of actors. I think the focus should not be Harry Styles doing a movie, it should be on the piece in general or his ability to act. And he’s great.” —  Fionn Whitehead talking about Harry and his role in “Dunkirk” “On my first day, when we finished my first shot. Chris was like: ‘Congratulations, Harry. You just filmed your first shot.’ I started tearing up and Chris said it was because I got sand in my eyes.” Harry on his first day of filming (Fotogramas Magazine)  There was a particularly crazy day. I remember being in the sea, between ships, bullet noises, shot effects, the camera team… And while I was trying not to crash against the ships or drown, I was like: ‘Are we already filming or what?’ —  Harry on filming Dunkirk (Fotogramas Magazine) “He’s fabulous in the film. Again, we auditioned many people. He earned it. He’s a superb talent and really delivered the goods with great passion. I’m excited for people to see what he’s done in the film. We’re trying not to oversell that because it’s an ensemble film. But he’s pretty terrific, in my opinion.” —  Christopher Nolan talking about casting Harry Harry in the new trailers:
