On top of the Star Wars connection, it’s sounding more and more like there’s another reason to get excited about Rogue One. According to reports, a massive preview of Christopher Nolan’s gritty World War II action-thriller, Dunkirk, will be attached to select screenings of the sci-fi anthology film.

Word of the sneak peek started making the rounds on social media on Monday, and then /Film reported intel from multiple sources that seemed to validate the chatter. Word is that a seven-minute prologue will be attached to 70mm IMAX screenings of Rogue One, which are few. The film wasn’t shot in that format, but Disney is releasing the Star Wars film in 70mm IMAX 2D in more than a dozen theaters—i.e. those still equipped to project the large-screen format on actual film.

Dunkirk will be released in theaters on July 21, 2017, but reports suggest an earlier screening date for the 35mm and 70mm formats on July 19th.
