Dunkirk (2017 film) edit
... that the film Dunkirk was shot in the same location as where the Dunkirk evacuation took place?
- ALT1: ... that the 2017 film Dunkirk was conceived in the mid-1990s when writer and director Christopher Nolan sailed with Emma Thomas across the English Channel, as did many small boats during the Dunkirk evacuation?

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't understand what's hooky about it. On-location filming is done all over the world. This is a GA; could you offer another hook? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Done. Cognissonance (talk) 04:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Cognissonance: thank you, that's a nice hook. But the source states she was his girlfriend at the time. If she is well-known, perhaps you could just say "when writer and director Christopher Nolan sailed with Emma Thomas..."? Yoninah (talk) 12:09, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: You're right, corrected the mistake. Cognissonance (talk) 12:43, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
