Oppenheimer costume designer Ellen Mirojnick took audiences back to the 1940s with her two- and three-piece suits worn by Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer and the other scientists on the Manhattan Project. But the fashion in Christopher Nolan’s historical epic also stayed impressively timeless, which Mirojnick reveals was one of the director’s early requests.
“One of Chris’ first notes was, although we’re traveling through many different periods, can we find a way to make it accessible to a modern audience?” Mirojnick tells THR, adding that she studied the varied silhouettes of different time periods in her research.
Coupled with Murphy’s undisclosed weight loss for the role, Oppenheimer’s look is fashioned after David Bowie’s Thin White Duke era, that “’70s American life,” says Mirojnick. “His exaggerated silhouette at that time was Cillian’s first entrée into Oppenheimer. We looked at the images [of Bowie] and went,...

It can be said that Christopher Nolan has always known how to end a movie. From Leonard Shelby concluding his journey where it began and asking “now where was I?” in Memento to the topper that wouldn’t stop spinning in Inception, this is a filmmaker who looks for the most potent image that will burrow its way into audiences’ heads.
Yet the final scene of his most ambitious film to date is something more impressive, if altogether disquieting. Oppenheimer definitely implants a grim idea in the viewer’s mind, but it does so by giving the uncanny impression that we are seeing it through J. Robert Oppenheimer’s eyes first. Standing by the duck pond that Albert Einstein (Tom Conti) has been consigned to by posterity, and where Oppie will be joining him in exile sooner than he realizes, the man credited with fathering...

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a towering achievement. Ambitious, thoughtful, and often frightening, it’s one part biopic, one part cautionary tale, and one part lament for a world in which humanity’s most brilliant moments of creation are also inevitable acts of destruction. Grounded in a sensational central performance from star Cillian Murphy and an unflinchingly vivid directorial vision, it snagged 13 Oscar nominations and deserved every one. It’s not perfect, by any means, but it’s a sprawling, cerebral reminder of what blockbuster filmmaking looks like on almost every level. It’s probably going to win Best Picture, and it’s hard to argue that any other movie that came out last year can—or likely should—beat it.
It’s precisely because Oppenheimer is such a genuinely great film that its most glaring flaw feels all the more frustrating. If Nolan and...

Christopher Nolan is well known for his intense attention to detail, working on and researching his projects for years before they’re finally ready to go before cameras. His 2023 blockbuster Oppenheimer (remember to buy it on physical media folks) is no different; in fact, it may be his most meticulously constructed movie to date. Using the biography “American Prometheus” as his template, Nolan clearly went to great lengths to depict a crucial handful of years in the complicated life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, whom Nolan has said is the most important human who ever lived… for better or worse.
If you’ve seen the film, and based on its incredible $900 million worldwide box office haul, you have, you might’ve wondered just how close to reality Nolan’s film truly is. Well, you can stop wondering because we’re about to give you a quick history lesson and tell you what really happened to Oppenheimer.

Universal Pictures wants more people to witness the majesty of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer while in the throes of Oscar season by bringing the film to Peacock on February 16. Oppenheimer’s streaming date is a boon for Peacock subscribers who’ve yet to purchase the film digitally or physically (per Nolan’s recommendation).
Nolan is already running out of room on shelves to house his awards for Oppenheimer.

In a new interview with Variety, the younger Safdie confirmed he and his brother are no longer looking to collaborate on new projects.
Benny Safdie had a pretty good 2023, all things considered. He starred in two of the best films of the year, as physicist Edward Teller in Oppenheimer and loveable dad in Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret. The Curse, the deeply weird black comedy he starred in alongside Emma Stone and Nathen Fielder, remains one of the buzzier TV hits in a pretty crowded marketplace.
On the directorial side, though, things seem to have taken a back foot. After the critical success of Good Time and Uncut Gems, Benny and his brother Josh’s next project, a sports memorabilia movie starring Adam Sandler and Megan Thee Stallion, has apparently been shelved for now, and in a recent Variety interview Benny seemed to confirm the pair are taking a creative break.

Oppenheimer, one of the year’s most significant box office bangers, will return to IMAX theaters in 70mm in early 2024. The film’s third theatrical release happens in January, with the premium screening format treating cinephiles to the ultimate Oppenheimer screening.
Oppenheimer 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. 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 to save it.

This article contains spoilers for The Curse episode 4.
A24 and Showtime series The Curse features an impressive roster of actors.
Leading the ensemble of this black comedy is Academy Award-winner Emma Stone, whose property developer Whitney Siegel is an “Eat. Pray. Love.” neon sign brought to life – a well-meaning upper class white woman barely repressing the exploitative impulses roiling underneath. Then there’s series co-creator Benny Safdie, who is fresh off a scene-stealing portrayal as hydrogen bomb creator and certified hater Edward Teller in Oppenheimer. His sleazy reality show producer Dougie Schecter is something to behold, swaggering around with ’90s Howard Stern locks, a fistful of garish rings, and a questionable blood-alcohol content.
The most beguiling member of The Curse cast, however, is co-creator, co-writer, and co-lead Nathan Fielder as Asher Siegel. Though a towering name in television comedy, the Canadian performer has not traditionally been known for his acting roles.

Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder have their sledgehammers ready, but they might not only be breaking down walls in their new Showtime and A24 comedy “The Curse.” The studios have released the first trailer for their genre-defying new series, set to premiere on Nov. 10 on Paramount+ and air Nov. 12 on Showtime.
Stone and Fielder play a married couple, Whitney and Asher, who flip houses on a new show called “Flipanthropy,” seemingly similar to real-life HGTV home renovation shows like “Fixer Upper.” Whitney and Asher’s “Flipanthropy” series is produced by a character named Dougie, played by co-creator Benny Safdie, who harbors some secrets.
Despite the couple’s big break and their hopes to have a child, all is not well for the house-flipping duo. Whitney and Asher, based in Española, N.M., are soon faced with a mysterious curse that will “disturb the relationship.”

Understandably, there has been a lot more interest in the life and times of J. Robert Oppenheimer after Christopher Nolan's biographical drama has taken cinemas by storm. Nolan's all-encompassing film, based on Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin's Pulitzer-winning novel "American Prometheus," gives a detailed reconstruction of what it was like to head the team that would go on to create the atomic bomb. In all likelihood, "Oppenheimer" will stand as the definitive account of the Manhattan Project and its aftermath.
Over the years, there have been multiple attempts to tell Oppenheimer's story, including the 1989 war drama "Fat Man and Little Boy" starring Paul Newman and John Cusack. The modern stage retelling, "Doctor Atomic," by the Metropolitan Opera even delves into the physicist's private life while still managing to deliver a show-stropping recreation of the first detonation of the A-bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

Once the "Oppenheimer" hype dies down, you'll likely hear more of that nagging criticism of the movie being about men talking in offices and classrooms. There's no doubt large chunks of the film's three-hour runtime focus on Cillian Murphy's J. Robert Oppenheimer conversing with political leaders and his colleagues as they work their way towards creating the atom bomb. But by his own admission, Christopher Nolan's approach to filmmaking almost necessitates this kind of verbosity. As the filmmaker previously told BAFTA:
"I chose to take the path of incorporating that desire for a layered approach into the narrative itself, into the story. And so I've made films that have some ambiguity to them, or some layering to them narratively, so that if you see them a second time you're going to watch them a slightly different way. And that was my approach. There are other filmmakers who approached...

"Oppenheimer" is built around the Trinity Test, the famous 1945 event where J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists tested an atomic bomb for the first time. This historic moment is the fulcrum on which Christopher Nolan's brilliant, horrifying film turns. Everything prior to the test focuses on Oppenheimer's passion for physics and beating the Nazi's to the punch, while everything after shows how the titular physicist became haunted by his own work and was ostracized by many of his former colleagues and allies as he spoke out against nuclear proliferation.
Nolan told Entertainment Tonight that his film "has a lot to do with the consequences of actions — sort of going ahead and doing these things and then having to deal with the consequences for years afterwards." It's an understatement to say that the consequences of Oppenheimer's work were monumental. The result of the Manhattan Project, which he led,...

At 180 minutes, it’s not improbable to think there are no deleted scenes for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Sometimes, fans look forward to home release materials getting packed with extras, but Cillian Murphy is here to burst the bubble, saying what you see is what you get when it comes to Nolan’s latest opus.
Speaking with Collider, Murphy said there’s a meticulous method to Nolan’s madness, leaving no opportunity for scenes to fall onto the cutting room floor. “There’s no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan movies,” Murphy commented. “That’s why there are no DVD extras on his movies because the script is the movie. He knows exactly what’s going to end up – he’s not fiddling around with it trying to change the story. That is the movie.”
Murphy’s well-versed in Nolan’s ways after teaming up with the acclaimed director on multiple feature-length projects.

No one, besides maybe Quentin Tarantino, has done more to promote shooting on film in our current moment than Christopher Nolan. With "Oppenheimer," the filmmaker outdid himself, shooting his epic three-hour biopic on IMAX 70mm and creating a reel of film that measured 11 miles in length.
As well as promoting film as a viable format in a time where digital dominates movie-making, "Oppenheimer" had its IMAX run extended, seemingly proving that Nolan's efforts were worthwhile. The director even had an entirely new black and white IMAX film invented specifically for his adaptation of Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin's J. Robert Oppenheimer biography, "American Prometheus." Whereas previously, Nolan had used IMAX for specific scenes in his films, the entirety of "Oppenheimer" was shot on large-format film (on IMAX 65 mm and 65 mm large-format film), which not only proved useful in showcasing such triumphs as recreating a nuclear explosion without the...

The BBC’s “Oppenheimer” has finally landed on iPlayer.
All seven episodes of the Sam Waterston-led drama series from 1980 is now available in full on the BBC streaming service. Until now, the BAFTA-winning and Emmy-nominated series was only available to rent or purchase on Prime Video. Its release comes weeks after Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” movie began tearing up the box office with “Barbie” as part of the “Barbenheimer” cinematic event. “Oppenheimer” has now grossed more than $405 million in worldwide box office.
Distributed by BBC Studios, the TV show starred Waterston as the contemplative father of the atom bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and “Poirot” star David Suchet as the Los Alamos scientist Edward Teller. The cast was mainly comprised of American actors, who were all based in the U.K. at the time, save for Waterston.
Produced for $1.5 million (the equivalent of around $5.5 million today), the series filmed between the U.

Benny Safdie grew bushy eyebrows for 'Oppenheimer'.The 37-year-old plays the Hungarian-American physicist Edward Teller in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster and explained how the director encouraged him not to pluck his brows so he could resemble his alter ego.Benny told Vulture: "I am proud to say that it's all my eyebrows. Teller had the best eyebrows. "Every once in a while I have a straggler that I'll just pluck out, cause it looks a little too crazy. But Chris said, 'Don't do that. Let's just let it go crazy.' "I had the most insane eyebrows for months and months, and you just had to brush them out and then they shined in all their glory."Teller spoke with a thick Hungarian accent and Benny explained that the toughest element of the part was to mimic the voice of his character.The 'Licorice Pizza' star recalled:...

To pluck, or not to pluck. That was the question on Benny Safdie’s mind in preparing to play theoretical physicist Edward Teller in “Oppenheimer.”
Teller, the Budapest-born “father of the hydrogen bomb,” joined J. Robert Oppenheimer in Los Alamos to develop the earlier atomic bomb. He was notorious for his thick Austro-Hungarian accent and is rumored to have even inspired Peter Sellers’ title character in Stanley Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove.” And then, there were, of course, Teller’s unkempt, thick eyebrows, which Safdie said are all his.
Speaking with Vulture, Safdie said, “I am proud to say that it’s all my eyebrows. Teller had the best eyebrows.”
The “Uncut Gems” co-director and “Licorice Pizza” star added that Nolan really wanted Safdie to commit to the bit. “Every once in a while I have a straggler that I’ll just pluck out, cause it looks a little too crazy.

“Good Time” and “Uncut Gems” director Benny Safdie expands his acting career with a prominent supporting role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” He plays Edward Teller, the real-life theoretical physicist known as “the father of the hydrogen bomb.” Teller joined Oppenheimer to work on the atomic bomb in Los Alamos, N.M., focusing on nuclear implosion and uranium hydride research. He was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, and had a thick accent, which presented Safdie with one of his biggest acting challenges.
“The accent was something I was so nervous about,” Safdie recently told Vulture. “I remember Chris asking me, ‘How’s the accent coming?’ And I’m just like, ‘Oh my God, how am I going to accomplish this?’ I didn’t know if he was going to want me to do it. But he sent me all of these interviews and we talked about how Teller speaks and who he is.

The biographical drama starts like a historical thriller and ends like a profound warning to the world, all set against the sweep of history that changed the world.
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Nolan’s epic film in fact opens with a reminder of that myth of the man who stole...

Edward Teller and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two renowned scientists who shared a common vision for atomic research, found themselves at odds due to their differing ethical concerns. Among the annals of scientific feuds, such as the disagreements between Einstein and Bohr or Dawkins and Gould, the clash between Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, and Edward Teller, known as the father of the Hydrogen bomb, played a significant role in shaping the course of history.
In Christopher Nolan’s masterpiece, Oppenheimer, which needs no further explanation about its grand portrayal of the consequences of the atomic explosion in Oppenheimer’s life, we are exposed to the intricate relationship between Hungarian physicist Edward Teller and Robert J. Oppenheimer. Although Nolan didn’t grant Edward Teller’s character (played by Benny Safdie) extensive screen time to fully portray the conflicting relationship, he skillfully alluded to their differences of opinion, which later...

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" begins with two on-screen titles showing the definitions between fission and fusion. For the layman or average moviegoer, the definitions serve as an explanation about the differences between two ways of achieving nuclear power. They also layout the ways in which the entire film is going to be structured, split in two by color and black-and-white sequences that divide Nolan's epic biography into Oppenheimer's subjective point-of-view and the objective forces swirling around him. The sequences in color paint Oppenheimer as somewhat of a heroic figure that helped this nation win World War II with the creation of the atomic bomb; the black-and-white sections show the famed scientist as a victim of government bureaucracy bullied by a system that no longer needs him.

Decades before Christopher Nolan set his sights on a movie about J. Robert Oppenheimer, a science-obsessed BBC executive ventured to America in 1979 to make a $1.5 million TV show about the father of the atom bomb.
Peter Goodchild began his career at the BBC in radio drama, but eventually migrated to the storied “Horizon” science unit to put his chemistry degree to some use. The division began experimenting with factual dramas in the 1970s, and after delivering a hit series on French-Polish physicist Marie Curie, Goodchild set his sights on the New York-born Oppenheimer.
“I’d seen a play on J. Robert Oppenheimer at the Hampstead Theatre Club way back in 1966,” the 83-year-old tells Variety from his home in Exeter, southwest England, where his Zoom background reveals a room teeming with books on heaving shelves.
“It was an amazing story, and I’d always wanted to do it,” Goodchild continues. “Someone...

In the late 19th century, the legendary chemist and inventor Alfred Nobel discovered the destructive potential of nitroglycerin and invented dynamite, an explosive that, along with its other subsidiaries, not only changed the course of human civilization but also made global warfare even more destructive. For his invention, Alfred Nobel was called an ‘Emissary of Death’, a title he regretted so much that he wished to leave a legacy that could absolve him of the sin of creating a means of mass destruction. To do that, he left the majority of his fortune to create the prestigious Nobel Prize, which has since awarded excellence in various streams of science, but most importantly in peace.

In true Christopher Nolan fashion, Oppenheimer is a lot of movie. As usual, the often brilliant and sometimes equally frustrating auteur has set out to make the ultimate of whatever genre he’s working in, whether it’s the superhero movie with The Dark Knight, the techno-thriller with Inception, or the mind-bending space travel epic with Interstellar.
In this case, he’s made the final word on biopics about controversial 20th century scientists: an exhaustive and exhausting look at the rise and fall of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist widely credited as “the father of the atomic bomb.” Oppenheimer is the man who oversaw the American scientific effort, known as the Manhattan Project, to introduce nuclear weapons to humanity. The results were terrifying.
But Oppenheimer is about more than just the man, a haunted, hard-to-know figure played with impressive backbone and clarity by Cillian Murphy in a career-defining performance.

There is a distinctly quiet moment in writer-director Christopher Nolan’s operatic and intimidatingly vast “Oppenheimer,” a brainy, brassy yet, on the whole, majestic historical biopic-thriller about the father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer. The moment is part of a sequence that recounts a first in the history of humankind: the detonation of the world’s earliest nuclear weapon during the Trinity test explosion, that some of the universe’s top scientific brains carried out as part of the “Manhattan Project.”
It was days before the U.S. dropped a pair of replica atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to a shatteringly devastating aftermath that brought a definitive end to WWII while claiming hundreds of thousands of human lives and launching a nuclear arms race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, the former director of Los Alamos Laboratory where the first atomic bomb was designed, squelched a petition from fellow scientists asking that the bomb not be dropped on Japan.
The biopic Oppenheimer bows in theaters next weekend.
Business Insider is reporting that Oppenheimer persuaded Edward Teller, one of the Manhattan Project’s scientists, not to send along the petition. “Oppenheimer talked me out of it, saying that we as scientists have no business to meddle in political pressure of that kind,” Teller said.
On August 6 and 9, 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. More than 100,000 people died.
Three weeks earlier, dozens of scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project signed a petition to President Harry Truman, pleading with him to reconsider dropping the bombs they had helped create. They asked that Japan first be given a chance to surrender. 70 scientists signed the petition,...

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, this summer’s 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. Sounds pretty intense, yeah? Well according to Nolan himself in a new chat with Wired, it’s “kind of a horror movie.”
“Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated,” Nolan tells the outlet. “They can’t speak. I mean, there’s an element of fear that’s there in the history and there in the underpinnings. But the love of the characters, the love of the relationships, is as strong as I’ve ever done.”
Nolan continues…
“It is an intense experience, because it’s an intense story. I showed Oppenheimer to a filmmaker recently who said it’s kind of a horror movie. I don’t disagree.”
Oppenheimer opens in theaters nationwide July 21 from Universal Pictures.

Christopher Nolan has been a champion for the most immersive experience that can be had at the cinema. This does not mean he would shoot a movie in 3D like James Cameron, though. Nor does this mean one of those 4Dx theaters where the chairs move with various elements being thrown at the audience during the movie. Nolan’s long-preferred method is the IMAX format. For those that do not know, the IMAX film (which was predominantly used for nature documentaries in the past) is the highest-quality image possible that can be printed, and the picture is expanded in size. Nolan would shoot in this format for his Dark Knight movies, Dunkirk and most recently, Tenet.
Universal Pictures has just released a featurette that shows how the crew shot his upcoming drama, Oppenheimer. The movie is about one of the most significant world-changing events and involves sequences of a grand scale.

After "Tenet" gave us the ultimate spy movie about guys being dudes, Christopher Nolan is once again diving into the world of war thrillers and international espionage (kind of) with "Oppenheimer."
"Oppenheimer," of course, is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who spearheaded The Manhattan Project, which resulted in the creation of the first successful nuclear bomb. The real Oppenheimer ended up being responsible for shaping the world we live in, but he also ultimately regretted his work because of how it endangered the future of mankind.
Nolan has enhanced each of his films by pushing for practical effects whenever possible, and "Oppenheimer" is no exception. This is a movie that attempted to replicate nuclear detonations without CGI -- so far, there's been no actual confirmation that Nolan didn't just commission a nuclear bomb for the movie. Indeed, Nolan had such a desire to make this as realistic as possible...

In the best teaser yet for Nolan’s upcoming drama about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, title star Cillian Murphy and supporting player Matt Damon as Lt. General Leslie Groves Jr. are given the lion’s share of material. A particularly pithy exchange:

Oppenheimer: “The chances are near zero.”
Groves: “Near zero?”
Oppenheimer: “What do you want from theory alone?”
Groves: “Zero would be nice.”
Murphy has appeared in six Nolan films including “Oppenheimer,” but the upcoming Universal release is the first time the “Batman Begins” star has taken a lead role for the filmmaker. “You realize this is a huge responsibility. He was complicated and contradictory and so iconic,...

The World War II-set biopic follows Oppenheimer, known as the “father of the atomic bomb,” during a moment in history when he knew that testing the atomic bomb might ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world, but hit the button anyway. “In learning about that story,...

Deadline has reported that Paramount Pictures is developing a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. The psychological thriller is considered by many to be not only one of Hitchcock’s finest movies, but one of the best of all time. The project does have some star power behind it, as Robert Downey Jr. is eyeing the leading role of the former police detective forced to retire after an incident in the line of duty causes him to develop acrophobia and vertigo.
The Vertigo remake is set to be scripted by Steven Knight, the Peaky Blinders creator who recently signed on to write the new Star Wars movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey will produce the remake through their Team Downey banner, alongside John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment. The original 1958 film starred Jimmy Stewart as John ‘Scottie’ Ferguson, a former detective obsessed with the hauntingly beautiful woman he was hired to investigate.
