Christopher Nolan addressed his upcoming film at CinemaCon, saying that he did not find anything more dramatic than this story. The film will also cover the time when Russia developed its atomic technology, leading to suspicions of espionage at Los Alamos, and according to Nolan, the decisions of the heroes are still remembered by the world.
Nolan also spoke about J. Robert Oppenheimer, calling him the most important person who ever lived. He added, “He made the world that we live in for better or for worse. His story has to be seen to be believed. His story is both dream and nightmare.”
‘Oppenheimer’ is one of the most ambitious projects for Universal and compared to other films, the main theme will feature a scientific development that left an impact on history and the world. Shot in 70mm with IMAX cameras, the trailer of the film keeps on changing from smoky black-and-white to color with the best production design.
