Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer is an upcoming biographical film written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. The film is based on American Prometheus, a biography written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, and Kenneth Branagh also star. It is a co-production between Universal Pictures, Syncopy Inc. and Atlas Entertainment, with Nolan producing the film alongside Emma Thomas and Charles Roven.

After Warner Bros. Pictures announced plans to give its 2021 films simultaneous releases in theaters and on HBO Max due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the film industry in December 2020, Nolan expressed his disbelief with the decision. Nolan was announced to write and direct a biographical film set during World War II about J. Robert Oppenheimer in September 2021, with Universal Pictures being chosen as the distributor. Much of the main cast signed on between September 2021 and April 2022. Filming began in late February 2022, and wrapped that May. Rather than using computer-generated graphics environments, Nolan used real explosives to recreate the Trinity nuclear test.
