'Dunkirk' Trailer Shows Harry Styles Acting For the First Time, Making His Fans Go Nuts

Dunkirk — an upcoming movie from Christopher Nolan, director of Inception and The Dark Knight — will be about the significant and brutal Battle of Dunkirk that took place in Dunkirk, France during World War II. But all One Direction fans care about is seeing Harry Styles’ pretty lil’ face acting in the trailer.

Despite the intense depiction of wartime events featured in the trailer, (not to mention the roster of insanely talented actors like Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, etc.), Directioners just couldn’t help but put all their focus on Harry Styles and his acting debut.

Will @Harry_Styles become the next Justin Timberlake? I hope so. Trailer looks dope. #dunkirk

I feel bad for everyone else in Dunkirk that worked just as hard as Harry :/

It’s actually pure genius for Nolan to cast Styles in the film, because it means young millennials who wouldn’t normally be enthused about a poignant historical war movie will be really f*cking enthusiastic about a poignant historical war movie. Whatever gets those young minds/butts in the seats, amiright, Chris?! Now if we can just get a remake of Saving Private Ryan with Zayn as Private Ryan, we can REALLY educate this generation about WWII!

Are you going to watch Harry (and all the other actors, I guess) in Dunkirk when it comes to theaters? Let us know on Twitter @Smosh!
