That Dunkirk 'smiling extra fail' got cut out of the full trailer

They chose not to dwell on his face in the two-minute promo

What could have been the most powerful scene in the first teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's new war film Dunkirk got undermined slightly back in August, when an extra was caught snoozing.

The soldier didn't look particularly bothered by planes swooping over his boat, in fact, he was actually smiling a little - quickly becoming an object of internet fascination.

It seems as though the team behind the teaser picked up on this, as the first full trailer, which dropped today, features a truncated version of the scene in which the extra's face is already not visible when the shot begins.

Here's how he appears in the teaser:

And in the trailer:

Now a GIF comparison of the two scene edits:

The new two-minute trailer offers a better look at the narrative of Warner Bros' military rescue movie, and showcases stars Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh and Harry Styles.

Dunkirk will open in cinemas summer 2017.
