British filmmaker Christopher Nolan says he tried to tell the story of the Dunkirk evacuation during World War II through his upcoming epic war thriller in the "most visceral" way possible.

"Dunkirk and the legend of it is something that British people grow up with -- it's in our DNA," Nolan said. "The idea of taking this paradoxical situation and putting it on the big screen -- it's something that's been close to my heart for some time, it's something I didn't think I was ready to do.

"I wanted to tell the story in the most visceral way possible, I wanted to take that audience and put them on that beach," Nolan added. Featuring Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Harry Styles, the film is slated to release on July 21.
