From 1D to the silver screen! Harry Styles lands his first major film role

The One Direction hiatus may be well and truly upon us, but that doesn't mean that our favourite bunch of lads will be straying far from the limelight. 

While Liam wants to keep writing music, Louis is focused on being a daddy and Niall, well, Niall's just up for having a good time, it seems that Harry wants to venture from the stage to the screen. 

And his first major film role is nothing to be sniffed at. 

The 22-year-old has reportedly landed a part in an upcoming World War II epic drama directed by renowned director Christopher Nolan. 

Harry will be starring alongside Tom Hardy in the film that is entitled Dunkirk. 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the singer is set to play a young man who gets caught up in the chaos of evacuation from the French city of Dunkirk as the British and German armies clash. 

Eh, sounds amazing. 

The movie is due to begin filming as soon as May for it's July 2017 release date. 

We will be the first ones in the cinema for this one folks.
