He is, and I guess looks passably like Oppenheimer.

He's a genuine chameleon who can make himself look like a lot of different people.

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.

If Nolan tries to make a film about Oppenheimer into some kind of time travel and particle physics science fest, instead the actual Manhattan project, I'm out...

Still won't be as good as Dr. Strangelove.

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."


More like, “Am I saving humanity or dooming it to extinction?”

Nolan’s last decent film was 7 years ago

His last great film was over a decade ago

In his defense, he could have had great films since then, I just couldn’t hear any dialogue in them

Yep. The MCU nerds on this board aren't really sophisticated enough to understand Nolan and his genius.
