At least one person has seen Christopher Nolan’s next film, Oppenheimer. And obviously it’s very heavy, which does credit to the rest of the director’s filmography.
After Hollywood was saved Top Gun Maverick – dixit Steven Spielberg -, and Avatar 2, it’s Christopher Nolan who’s going to try to get people back into theaters. For this he has already found a weapon: Oppenheimer. Your future baby who will not be short of ambition. But will success be there this time?
Oppenheimer: a fantastic and long film by Nolan
Oppenheimer will be Christopher Nolan’s eleventh post-stun film principle. And he wants to amaze us once again with his biopic about Julius Robert Oppenheimer, a researcher who developed the first atomic bomb. A film adaptation of the novel «Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of Robert J. Oppenheimer» benefits from a Pour totally insane that brings together a massive cast of actors.
Auf ne va pas toout lister mais il y aura Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Gary Oldman, Casey Affleck, David Dastmalchian or Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders, The Dark Knight: The Black Knight…) In the main role. The Nolan touch. According to Matt Damon, it will be ” fantastic “, ” Great “ with a Cillian Murphy « phenomenal ».The Nolan Touch?
Oppenheimer is three hours long. It’s awesome. The movie goes so fast it’s amazing. Cillian Murphy is phenomenal. He’s everything you want him to be.
Over diversity.
A few words that stick with the director’s previous films like Interstellar etc Dunkirk. Interstellar for the length, the phenomenal performance by Matthew McConaughey and the fact that it’s an amazing feature film, and Dunkirk for the idea of a film that scrolls at breakneck speed. The latter only lasted 1h40 on one side, but as it took off on the beach in the foreground, the viewer was glued with few moments of stillness at the end. To push the boundaries, Christopher Nolan will go so far as to recreate a non-CGI nuclear explosion in Oppenheimer.
Return to box office success
Obviously, these are the words of an actor playing Oppenheimer who has already passed behind Christopher Nolan’s camera, but given the filmmaker’s filmography, trust is in order. On the other hand, the director might have to have a bit of fear on his side.
His previous project principle, split more than usual due to its structure. And clearly it’s Nolan’s most radical work with Memory from a storytelling point of view, despite what is ultimately a classic scenario. Above all, Tenet was extremely disappointing at the box office. While some viewed him as a heavyweight capable of bringing people back into dark spaces after long months of COVID-19 and restrictions, the opposite has happened. With $365.3 million raised worldwide on a budget of $200 million with no side effects, the surgery was not profitable for Warner Bros.
A failure Nolan attributes in part to the film being released simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max, leading to a major falling out and divorce with Batman’s stash. After that, the other production studios, even Netflix, did everything they could to win the director back, but it was Universal Studios that hit the jackpot. With a budget of $100 million, no promotion, it should be easier to find success again.
