According to Christopher Nolan, early Oppenheimer viewers were devastated.
The upcoming historical thriller follows physicist J Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) as he collaborates with a team of scientists on the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the development of the atomic bomb. It is one of the year’s most anticipated films, with Nolan in the director’s chair and a star-studded cast.
Nolan has spoken about how early viewers have reacted to the film.
“Some people leave the movie absolutely devastated,” Nolan tells Wired. “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.
Oppenheimer will be released on July 21, 2023.
Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, Alden Ehrenreich, Matthew Modine, Jack Quaid, David Dastmalachina, Jason Clarke, Josh Peck, Devon Bostick, Gary Oldman, and Casey Affleck are among the actors in the film.
