Renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan is embarking on a groundbreaking venture with his upcoming film, "Oppenheimer." Nolan wrote the entire script in the first person, offering a unique perspective that he had never explored before in his career spanning two decades.
"Oppenheimer" predominantly unfolds through the eyes of its titular character, J. Robert Oppenheimer, portrayed by Cillian Murphy famed for his roles in the “Peaky Blinders” series, and long collaboration with Christopher Noaln. Nolan aimed to immerse audiences in Oppenheimer's mind, enabling them to witness his radical reinvention of physics and experience the world through his perspective.
This innovative approach influenced every aspect of the film, including character descriptions, settings, and stage directions—all written in the first person as Oppenheimer. By adopting this unconventional method, Nolan ensured that the audience would join the protagonist's journey and face the ethical dilemmas alongside him.
"Oppenheimer" breaks new ground not only in storytelling but also in terms of its rating and length. It marks Nolan's return to an R-rated film and boasts a runtime just under three hours, surpassing his previous longest film, "Interstellar." The film's grandeur is further emphasized by its physicality, with the IMAX film stock spanning a remarkable 11 miles and weighing approximately 600 pounds.
The audacity of "Oppenheimer" extends beyond the script and runtime. Nolan and his cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, undertook the challenge of shooting the film in color and monochrome black-and-white. By collaborating with Kodak, they successfully developed a new film format, capturing authentic black-and-white IMAX footage—an unprecedented achievement that thrilled both artists.
"Oppenheimer" demands to be experienced on the big screen, particularly in IMAX theaters. Viewers worldwide will have the opportunity to witness the film's full-frame IMAX 15 perf 70mm format, immersing themselves in Nolan's artistic vision. The highly anticipated release is set for July 16, promising a captivating journey into the mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer, guided by Christopher Nolan. Prepare for an unparalleled cinematic experience that transcends traditional storytelling and invites audiences to confront profound moral complexities.
