‘Oppenheimer‘, directed by Christopher Nolan reveals the latest images of the epic film, providing us with a fresh look at the film, which is based on the science and politics of the atomic bomb. “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”. The countdown has begun.

The film, which stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who was behind the design of the first nuclear weapons during World War II, is set to be released next summer, but Total Film has released some new images from it.

As the director of the Manhattan Project’s Los Alamos Laboratory, where the weapons were first developed, Oppenheimer would later question his own involvement in the power and destruction his weapons caused, while the US Government pursued him relentlessly in the years that followed, investigating his associations with the Communist Party.

Murphy is in his fifth film with Nolan, following the Dark Knight trilogy, Dunkirk, and Inception, but this is his first time as the director’s leading man, and he is supported by an outstanding cast of actors.

Emily Blunt plays his wife, Kitty, and other cast members include Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, and Gary Oldman.

Robert Downey Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, chairman of the United States Atomic Enemy Commission, who may end up being the film’s main antagonist.

The film is based on Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Nolan wrote the screenplay and produced the film himself. “I prepped by doing an awful lot of reading,” Murphy previously told Variety of his role in the film. I’m interested in the individual and what [inventing the atomic bomb] does to him. The mechanics aren’t really for me — I lack the intellectual capacity to comprehend them — but these contradictory characters are fascinating.”

The film was shot for IMAX, as is now Nolan’s custom, as well as in black-and-white by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema, who previously worked with the director on films such as Interstellar, Dunkirk, and Tenet. The film marks Nolan’s first collaboration with Universal, following the conclusion of a 20-year partnership with Warner Bros. Studios in the summer of 2020.

Oppenheimer will be released in theatres on July 21, 2023.
