Hollywood Reporter: 'Baby Driver's' Explosive Opening to 'Dunkirk's' Tense Ending: How Film Editors Built 5 Memorable Scenes

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lists ... es-1087024

Excerpt:

Smith had to intercut stories in the air, on land and at sea right up to the film's final minutes. "You are starting to wrap up the movie but still keeping everyone in danger," he explains. The men on a small boat are in peril. Tom Hardy's pilot Farrier shoots down the last German Stuka, but he's out of fuel and losing altitude. Later in the sequence, soldiers board a train in England and read Churchill's speech. Dawson (Mark Rylance) arrives on land with the body of young George, and then his son puts George's name in the paper while Farrier is landing his plane. "We were wrapping up the stories but keeping the tension until the last moment, when Hardy's plane touches down and the Germans arrest him," says Smith. "It was keeping everything going until the last frame."

I remember a while back there was some discussion in this thread or another about how many times the word "fuck" was used (I think it was 3). I think I found a fourth, not sure if it's been mentioned.

In the first bombing scene when Tommy has his head in the sand, he says "fuck" after the very first two bombs go off in the background. It's kind of faint and drowned out by the bombs, but you can pick it up with headphones.

Photos of four Dunkirk actors posted today by photographer Lorenzo Agius on Instagram. We've see the one of Fionn before in an article but I don't know if we have seen the the others. The text for 3 of them wishes good luck for Dunkirk (I imagine at the Oscars, given the timing):

Also people are tweeting this around as "new" picture of (some of) the Dunkirk cast but I am pretty sure there was at least a similar image as a magazine spread:
