![Dunkirk - VOS Magazine Cover [Argentina] (23 July 2017)](http://img3.bdbphotos.com/images/130x130/o/b/ob3afods4g4ugoda.jpg?skj2io4l)
- If you look up the location below on Google Maps, on Dunkirk beach you can see them building the initial alley way that Tommy runs through to get to the beach. Barriers with 'film' signs attached can be seen. Zooming in, you can see that much of the background detail is identical to the film. Only road signs have been removed; the 1920s-style light with glass ball shade was there originally. 15 Digue de Mer 59240 Dunkerque France
- "The Hollywood Reporter" stated that Christopher Nolan received a $20 million salary against 20% of the box office gross, the biggest deal for any director along with Peter Jackson, who received the same amount with King Kong (2005); however, "Vanity Fair" reported that Nolan agreed to receive a low upfront salary in exchange for a large backend percentage.
- Director Christopher Nolan rode in the Spitfire shown in the movie in order to get a sense of the aerial feel of the fighter plane, and to help him shoot and provide a realistic experience of the dogfights.
- With a run-time of 1 hour and 46 minutes, the film is almost 1 hour shorter than Christopher Nolan's previous film, Interstellar (2014) (2 hours and 49 minutes).
- According to director Christopher Nolan, the original ending of the movie was supposed to be the shot of the burning Spitfire on the beach. Nolan changed his mind after watching dailies of Fionn Whitehead, who plays "Tommy." In an interview with his brother Jonathan, Nolan said, "At the end, [Fionn] did this thing where he just, I don't even know what he's doing, but you want to end with this quiet moment with him, where no one's paying attention to him and Alex is eating and drinking stuff the girls are handing through the window. It brings you back to this personal moment; he's trying to process the words he's just read from this very eloquent politician and trying to reconcile that with his experience. Hopefully the audience is trying to do the same thing, through his eyes. So it comes back to a very small thing."
