EXCLUSIVE– British actors Jack Lowden and Aneurin Barnard are in talks for major roles in Christopher Nolan’s World War 2 action adventure Dunkirk. Lowden is believed to be up for one of the two leading roles in the pic with newcomer Fionn Whitehead up for the other lead role, while Barnard’s part is also believed to be significant. Details of the exact nature of the roles are being closely guarded as is often the way with a Christopher Nolan project. What we do know is the project will deal with the World War II evacuation of Dunkirk which took place from May-June 1940.
Jack Lowden is one of the most exciting young actors in the UK right now. He has won plaudits for his performance in BBC-Weinstein Co co-production War and Peace. He also plays iconic left-wing politician Tony Benn in Amma Asante’s much-buzzed about A United Kingdom, starring Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo. He also stars opposite Rachel Weisz, Andrew Scott and Timothy Spall in Mick Jackson’s Denial. He is repped by Conway van Gelder Grant and UTA.
Aneurin Barnard impressed with his portrayal of King Richard in the BBC-Starz mini series The White Queen. He is repped by The Artists Partnership.
