Oppenheimer | Pushing The Button Featurette

Oppenheimer - In Theaters 7 21 23
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.
The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.
Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.
The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).
The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.
Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations.

Whether one believes in coincidence or not, it's incredibly interesting that this is being released at this time on the planet. It's even more exciting with Nolan bringing it to us. I think the world's reaction to the film will be equally, if not more, intriguing than how they filmed it.

For me, Nolan’s work has single handedly changed my perception of film, storytelling, and even the way I look at life. Every one of his films is a masterpiece in my opinion. Thank you Mr. Nolan, I cannot wait to see this. “It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me.”

[@JasonGrubb]

Wow, just when I thought Chris Nolan couldn't possibly outdo himself, he comes out with 'Oppenheimer'. The dedication to authenticity, from shooting on real locations to using IMAX screens with 18K resolution per frame, is simply mind-blowing. This isn't just a movie, it's an experience that promises to transport us right into the heart of the Manhattan Project. I'm thrilled to see Nolan's unique storytelling and cinematic techniques being applied to a story as significant as Oppenheimer's. The cast is insane. Nolan's films have always been a treat for the senses, and 'Oppenheimer' seems to be no exception. Can't wait to experience this masterpiece in a theater.

[@wethepeople3340]

Cillian is a hell of an actor. The look of his eyes is full of horror almost cast by evil. I've seen this in people including myself when they are terrified or taken by anger. Can't wait to see this.

[@joaosantos5503]

Just like they weren't ready for Tenet, right? Lmao. People need to stop sucking Nolan's dick. He's a great director but I can think of a handful who are miles better. His issue is execution. This is being marketed more like a summer blockbuster rather than a poignant, human story, which is what it should be. It feels too actiony and "mainstream", given the subject matter. And btw, Twin Peaks' nuclear blast scene is far more haunting than anything Nolan could conjure up.
