Acclaimed movie director Christopher Nolan turns his consideration to J. Robert Oppenheimer for his new blockbuster film, taking audiences again to when the American theoretical physicist oversaw the creation of the atomic bomb throughout World War II.

Based on the 2005 biography “American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Nolan’s organic thriller “Oppenheimer” contains a stellar forged together with Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy within the titular function, portraying the person often called “the father of the atomic bomb”. “Oppenheimer’s story is one of the most dramatic that I know of and there are many, many aspects to what makes it so compelling,” Nolan informed Reuters in a joint interview with Murphy.

“I just thought to take the audience there, to be there in that room with these people as they had to make these horrifying decisions that have defined the world we now live in… what a remarkable dramatic event to bring the audience to.” Oppenheimer headed the secret Los Alamos Laboratory, established under President Franklin D. Roosevelt as part of the Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bomb.

He oversaw the first atomic bomb detonation in the New Mexico desert, code-named “Trinity”, before the weapons were used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “There is a lot info (about Oppenheimer)… My job as an actor is basically to go after the humanity and the emotion, and the complexity and the morality of the character,” Murphy, who has worked with Nolan previously, said.

“So I did not actually waste an excessive amount of time on the physics, I did a bit bit… but it surely was the person I used to be after.” Nolan is known for conceptual narratives and visual style in films like “Inception” “Tenet” and an instalment of the Batman film franchise.

‘Oppenheimer’ is kind of the amalgam of every Chris Nolan movie ever, all of which have been leading to a statement as kind of profound as this but it’s still edge of your seat entertainment,” Downey Jr. stated. “It was loopy to be a part of capturing it and even crazier to observe it.”
