Christoper Nolan will be directing an upcoming movie titled "Dunkirk" that will allegedly feature events from World War II and will be shown in 2017.

It was reported that the director will showcase his original screenplay for the new project together with his wife, Emma Thomas as the film producer.

President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Greg Silverman said that, "We are thrilled to be continuing our collaboration with Christopher Nolan, a singular filmmaker who has created some of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful films of all time," according to Variety.

"Dunkirk" will be based on a "powerful" plot of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation journey of the British Expeditionary Force along with the Allied soldiers in May to June 1940 from the French port.

Christoper Nolan's 2017 movie was first announced by the current Mayor of Dunkirk, Patrice Vergriete that the filming will start in June 2016. He also called the formers as "a world famous director," according to /Film.
