Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Benny Safdie Join Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’
Pugh will play Jean Tatlock, a member of the Communist Party of the United States who has an off-and-on affair with Oppenheimer and was the cause of major security concerns for government officials.
Safdie will play Edward Teller, the Hungarian physicist who is known as the father of the hydrogen bomb and a member of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. research initiative that developed the first atomic bomb.
Malek is playing a scientist.

Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr. have joined Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s biopic on J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers of the atomic bomb.
Emily Blunt is already on board the Universal project, and with Damon and Downey now flying in, Oppenheimer has become one of the most stacked feature projects in recent memory.

Cillian Murphy has reteamed with Christopher Nolan for the filmmaker’s latest project, now officially titled Oppenheimer.
Universal, which landed the project in September with much a-do as it became Nolan’s first movie in years not to made with his now-former longtime studio home, Warner Bros., announced the details Friday.
The studio also set a North American theatrical release date of July 21, 2023. The summer month has long been a Nolan release tradition.
Universal called the project an “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.”
Oppenheimer is the scientist who is considered one of the fathers of the atom bomb that he helped develop during World War II. The project is based on the 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin, the latter who passed away this week.

Christopher Nolan Chooses Universal Pictures For His Film About J. Robert Oppenheimer & The A-Bomb
quote:
EXCLUSIVE: Christopher Nolan is readying his next film, and Deadline hears that like Dunkirk, it will focus on a seminal moment in World War II. This one is J. Robert Oppenheimer’s role in the development of the atom bomb during WWII. Here is a bombshell development: while none of Nolan’s recent movies had gone outside Warner Bros, I’m hearing that several of the major studios across town are reading the screenplay and speaking with Nolan and his reps.
This might be residue from the umbrage Nolan took when WarnerMedia declared its intention to go day and date with its entire 2021 movie slate, without forewarning talent, their reps or even the studio’s financing partners in the films. Nolan, among the superstar directors who are the most vociferous supporters of a good old fashioned theatrical release, was outspoken in his ire on WarnerMedia’s move. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Warner Bros is among the studios in the mix on this, but clearly it has lost pole position.

Details are a bit scant at the moment on casting, but I’m hearing talk that Cillian Murphy might be involved. He collaborated with Nolan on two of The Dark Knight films, Inception as well as Dunkirk, is in the mix. The project has the sweep of his last historical epic Dunkirk, looking at WWII from the development of the atomic bombs that ended the war with Japan. So there will clearly be many big star parts.

I look forward to a movie with shitty sound mixing and also a movie starting half way through the story and reversing to the beginning and then going back to the end so we can fill the gaps

I'm down for it. There was a 1989 movie called Fat Man and Little Boy that, while watchable, just didn't do the Manhattan Project justice.
It was literally the first time the United States invested in "Big Science." Before the 1940s, only the UK and Germany invested in big money in theoretical physics. The Manhattan Project is the milestone that allowed to the United States to become a superpower.
Edit: Although...I'm sure that Nolan will try to make the movie about something more saccharine, like "Love Is What Splits Atoms Apart", or pseudo-philosophical like "Did we create the bomb or did the bomb create us?" He likes to speak to "higher truths."

Oppenheimer I’ve really felt for. He had one hell of a burden placed on him. Don’t know if I could have handled it.

I hope not. Way better directors out there for this type of project.

I assume this means Michael Caine will inevitably be cast as Sir James Chadwick

Will they cast Tom Hardy to mumble his way through a role as Albert Einstein?

I hope I can fricking hear this one!

Oppenheimer was a commie. But the Manhatten Project is still fascinating.
The Fat Man and Little Boy film did not dive deep enough into it.

My thoughts exactly. I've always felt like this story never received the proper treatment from Hollywood. I really think the subject requires a mini-series.
For anyone interested in this subject, I highly recommend reading The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes.
