There’s just about a month to go until Christopher Nolan‘s WWII picture “Dunkirk” arrives, and as per usual, the director is keeping a curtain around his movie until the very last moment. However, if you feel like deciphering clues, the tracklist for Hans Zimmer‘s soundtrack for the film has landed.
Nolan’s go to composer for a while now, Zimmer has lately done some of his best work for the director, and it sounds like with this film, there’s going to be some particularly pulse-pounding music.
“Dunkirk is one of the greatest suspense stories of all time, and our film needed a score to reflect that and to propel the audience through a telling of this story that is more thriller than war film,” Nolan said in a statement. “Hans’ unique score drives the visceral sense of action the film needs to put the audience right into the story, using images, sound, and music.”
Starring Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Barnard, Harry Styles, James D’Arcy, Jack Lowden, Barry Keoghan, Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, and Cillian Murphy, the film will detail Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) and other Allied troops from the French seaport of Dunkirk, which took place from May-June of 1940.
“Dunkirk” opens on July 21st, and the soundtrack will drop the same day. Check out the artwork and tracklist below, along with a new poster. [EW]
