Author: Avishek Das
Hi there folks. Today we'll get a small taste of some movies before their imminent release.
1. Dunkirk
Dunkirk is an upcoming English-language war film written, co-produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. Set during World War II, it concerns the Dunkirk evacuation. The film is a co-production between the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Nolan wrote the story with the intention to tell it from three perspectives – the air, land and sea. Efforts were made to create suspense solely through details, as the script contained little dialogue. Filming began on 23 May 2016 in Dunkirk, France, and was shot on IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large format film stock by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema. Dunkirk is scheduled to be released on 21 July 2017 in IMAX.
Plot: Allied soldiers from Britain, Belgium, Canada, and France are surrounded by the German Army on the beaches of Dunkirk and evacuated in Operation Dynamo between 26 May and 4 June 1940, during the early stages of the Second World War.
2. Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (French: Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes) is an upcoming English-language French science fiction action-adventure film produced, written and directed by Luc Besson. The film is based on the French science fiction comics series Valérian and Laureline, written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières. It stars Dane DeHaan as Valerian and Cara Delevingne as Laureline, with Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, Herbie Hancock, Kris Wu and Rutger Hauer in supporting roles. The film is scheduled for release by STX Entertainment on 21 July 2017 in the United States and on 26 July in France.
Plot: In the 28th century, Valerian and Laureline are special operatives charged with keeping order throughout the human territories.

At the center of Alpha is a mysterious dark force which threatens the peaceful existence of the City of a Thousand Planets, and Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.
