"Dunkirk" - Propulsive, Ticking-Clock Action-Thriller from Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan has taken audiences from the streets of Gotham City, to the infinite world of dreams, to the farthest reaches of space. Now, for the first time, the innovative director/writer/producer has turned his camera to a real-life event, one that has resonated with him throughout his life: the miracle of Dunkirk.

Warner Bros. Pictures' Dunkirk is based on the evacuation that—although it took place in the early months of World War II—had a direct impact on the outcome of the war. Rather than make a battlefield drama, however, Nolan’s objective was to turn this historical moment into immediate, immersive cinema: a propulsive, ticking-clock, epic action thriller in which the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Armie Hammer's Jackson Storm: Fast, Sleek, Ready to Win in "Cars 3"

Armie Hammer (The Social Network, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) breathes life to Jackson Storm, a frontrunner in the next generation of racers, in Disney-Pixar's No.1 US box-office hit Cars 3 (in Philippine cinemas July 26, 2017).

In the film, Storm’s quiet confidence and cocky demeanor are off-putting—but his unmatched speed threatens to redefine the sport. Trained on high-tech simulators that are programmed to perfect technique and maximize velocity, Jackson Storm is literally built to be unbeatable—and he knows it.

“Jackson Storm epitomizes the next-gen racers,” says Armie Hammer. “They’re young, brash and confident. Jackson Storm is newer and faster. He can calculate the drag coefficient on the spot. It’s hard to compete with that.”

“Jackson Storm is Lightning McQueen’s nemesis—the film’s baddie,” adds Jay Ward, Cars franchise creative director. “Though he isn’t really a true villain. He represents what’s happening in racing—both in the movie and in real life. A lot of young racers getting into motorsport have more experience playing videogames and simulators than on an actual track. And they are winning races.”
