At CinemaCon 2023 on Wednesday, acclaimed Hollywood director Christopher Nolan grabbed the stage and debuted new footage from his next feature “Oppenheimer.”
‘Oppenheimer’ delves into the life and morally problematic accomplishments of J Robert Oppenheimer, a physicist who is credited with designing the atomic bomb.
The ‘Tenet’ director received huge applause from the audience for the gripping footage at the event.
“Like it or not, J Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world we live in — for better or for worse. And his story has to be seen to be believed, and I am certainly hopeful audiences will come to your theatres to see it on the biggest screens possible,” said Nolan, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
‘Oppenheimer’ is played by Cillian Murphy, who is securing the lead for the first time in a Christopher Nolan film.
Having previously starred in ‘Inception,’ ‘Batman Begins,’ ‘The Dark Knight,’ ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ and ‘Dunkirk,’ Murphy has been a mainstay in many of Nolan’s movies.
Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Benny Safdie, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Alden Ehrenreich, Josh Peck, Jason Clarke, David Dastmalchian, Alex Wolff, James D’Arcy, and many others star in the film.
Florence Pugh is Jean Tatlock, Emily Blunt is Kitty Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. is Lewis Strauss, and Matt Damon is Matt Damon. The film will be released on July 21, 2023.
