Oppenheimer is set to arrive in theatres globally on July 21. There is no denying that the hype for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming ‘magnum opus’ has gone through the roof. It is his first film that has received an “R” rating since Insomnia (2002) and the first-ever film to be shot in IMAX black and white photographic format. In addition, the film is reportedly three hours long and treasures a grand cast consisting of names such as Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, and more. Moreover, the film’s director has guaranteed that Oppenheimer will leave viewers devastated.
In a recent interview with Wired, Christopher Nolan talked about Oppenheimer in detail. He shared some intriguing details about his forthcoming feature project. On being asked about the film’s early reactions, the director said:
“Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated. They can’t speak. I mean, there’s an element of fear that’s there in the history and there in the underpinnings. But the love of the characters, the love of the relationships, is as strong as I’ve ever done”.
In addition, Nolan revealed that he recently showed Oppenheimer to a filmmaker who said the film was “kind of a horror movie”.
Historian Kai Bird and co-author of ‘American Prometheus’, the inspiration behind Nolan’s Oppenheimer, has recently revealed that he is “emotionally recovering” after watching the film and hailed it as a “stunning artistic achievement”.
Oppenheimer focuses on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist responsible for creating the world’s first nuclear weapons. Universal Pictures has produced the film with Christopher Nolan’s Syncopy and Atlas Entertainment. It will come out on July 21. Stay tuned for more updates.
