Hans Zimmer's been confirmed to score the film.

IMDB also lists Jonathan Nolan as co-writer, and includes several others of Chris's regular team as part of it: Nathan Crowley (Production Design), Lee Smith (Editing), Chris Corbould (Special Effects), Paul Franklin (Visual Effects), Tom Struthers (Stunts), & Richard King (Sound Editing).

There's also one John Bernard, mentioned to serve as Line Producer for the France shoot (similar to Kevin De La Noy in TDK & TDKR). He also collaborated with Chris on Inception for the Paris scenes, and worked with Scorsese on Hugo.

Understand that the site's not always accurate, so make what you can with this.

Dude did accompany Chris to location scouting. There's also the fact that he's working on an HBO project at present.

Would he really put that on hold, to do this bit, if he wasn't involved in the flick?

So? Why he couldn't accompany him there? They are brothers. The last thing it is talking about is that he's a screenwriter as well. And the Westworld is done already, isn't it? Or wasn't the half-year enought to shot nine goddamned episodes? Or even if it's still in production, why Jonathan couldn't take a break to visit France alongside his brother?

Too many questions. :judge: While the announcement by Warner Bros. doesn't leave the one.

Westworld was picked up in November 2014, but began series production only in July 2015. Either they spent about 7 months on prepping it, or Jonah spent early 2015 working on his draft, before passing it off to Chris, and kicking off the show (around mid-March/April, I suppose).

The show's still not finished. They took a break after shooting Episode 7. The person who's directing the eighth, mentioned that it's been pushed back, & is set to kick off this month. Another telling fact is that the series was advertised to premiere in 2015, per HBO's year-ender in December 2014, but it's been delayed to this year. The show's probably set for a summer release anyway, so they can still finish in time.

But you're right, that Jonah may've accompanied him on this scout, just for kicks. The show would've been on Christmas break at the same time anyway, so there's that.

I agree that this is all speculative, and until there's an official press release for the film, listing the complete cast, crew, & release date, it's all just unconfirmed notions.

Jonah is not involved in Dunkirk. Deal with it. No press media had mentioned his name besides the speculations that he was in Dunkirk with Chris which told us nothing. It was confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures in the official press release (see the link above) that Dunkirk is based on Christopher Nolan's original screenplay. What kind of press release besides that would it be?

So in terms of character dynamic, could we be looking at something like the latter Harry Potter films? 3 older teen leads with big British actors as mentor figures?

I think that is very likely
