Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, Oppenheimer, is set to make a profound impact on audiences when it hits theaters next month. Known for his grand cinematic spectacles, Nolan has assembled a star-studded cast for this project. Recent reports revealed that Oppenheimer’s IMAX film spans an astonishing length of 11 miles and weighs a whopping 600 lbs, guaranteeing a memorable cinematic experience. Cillian Murphy, who plays the titular character, expressed his belief that the film is an essential cinematic experience, echoing the sentiments of many theater-goers. In a new image from the film, Benny Safdie can be seen preparing himself for the imminent impact in his role as Edward Teller.
In a Collider video interview, Murphy emphasized the importance of watching Oppenheimer in theaters, beyond the usual promotional rhetoric. He urged viewers to see the film on the largest screen possible, promising mind-blowing moments that will leave audiences astonished.
The image featuring Safdie, portraying the Hungarian physicist involved in the creation of the first hydrogen bomb, hints at the film’s explosive nature, with the actor donning protective eyewear. Given that Oppenheimer was shot entirely in IMAX, a format often associated with action-packed movies, Murphy’s comments come as no surprise. However, moviegoers with weaker bladders might not be as thrilled, considering the film’s confirmed three-hour runtime.
Nolan’s decision to use IMAX for Oppenheimer is fitting for a biopic delving into the creation of the atomic bomb—a historic event that forever changed warfare and the world. To capture the magnitude of this event, Nolan even recreated the Trinity test of the bomb in the New Mexico desert, opting for practical effects over CGI.
Reflecting on the experience, the director remarked on the uniqueness and intensity of filming explosive scenes with a large cast under the night sky in the desert. He acknowledged the tension present during the real-life events that inspired the film, where scientists were aware of the possibility of setting the atmosphere on fire. Additionally, Oppenheimer employs a visual approach that switches between color and black-and-white scenes, offering different perspectives to enhance the storytelling.
Oppenheimer features an eagerly anticipated ensemble cast, including Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Jack Quaid, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Josh Hartnett, Matthew Modine, Kenneth Branagh, David Krumholtz, Michael Angarano, and Alden Ehrenreich. The film is scheduled for release on July 21, and the trailer can be viewed below:
