When it comes to big time filmmakers, it’s tough to get any more majestic than Christopher Nolan. Looking back over his career, even his more quaint outings were still brimming with grandiose plots and through lines. Since the days of Following and Memento, he’s helped re-imagine super hero films, heady heist films, detective yarns, war narratives, intergalactic family affairs, and techy spy thrillers. One thing is for sure, Nolan films are event films. Case in point.
His latest is an epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man, J. Robert Oppenheimer, who must risk destroying the world in order to save it. It was one of our most anticipated films of 2023 and now that is almost upon us, take a look at this promo video. This featurette is all about how Mr. Nolan continues his big picture shooting style (aka an unabashed love affair) with IMAX while filming Oppenheimer.
The story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.
The film stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey, Jr., Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie as well as Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, Alden Ehrenreich and Matthew Modine.
Universal Pictures will bring Oppenheimer to theaters on July 21.
