Christopher Nolan has recruited Cillian Murphy to star in his upcoming feature film, “Oppenheimer”. We now learn that another star should probably join the adventure to play the wife of the famous physicist.
Oppenheimer : Christopher Nolan will discuss the birth of the atomic bomb
On paper, a film focusing on physicist Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers of the atomic bomb, is an idea that is likely to leave a large section of the general public unmoved. On the other hand, when we specify that this is Christopher Nolan’s next project, we start to listen more attentively to the proposal. After confusing him Tenet, the British director quickly got back to work and he will come back with a rather unexpected project. The script, of which he is the author, will therefore evoke the main feats of arms of Oppenheimer, before, during and after the Second World War.
Following his quarrel with the Warner, Christopher Nolan changed sides and agreed to collaborate with Universal. An agreement that comes at a price for the studio, since the director has allowed himself to impose his conditions: a budget of 100 million dollars, a marketing budget also at 100 million, a guaranteed release in theaters for a hundred of days and Universal cannot release a film in the three weeks before and after the arrival ofOppenheimer.
While waiting for the shooting in 2022, the team is training
Filming is expected to begin in the first part of 2022 and a release date has already been set in the United States for July 21, 2023. Suffice to say that it is not for now and that we have time to see this intriguing feature film coming. For the occasion, the director decided to bring together talents he knows, because Cillian Murphy will star – for our greatest happiness – the talented Hoyte Van Hoytema will be in the photo and Ludwig Göransson will compose the music. We must now add a new head to this start of the team. Deadline teaches us thatEmily Blunt is in very advanced negotiations to star in the female role.
In her case, if there is a signature, she will collaborate for the first time with Christopher Nolan. According to the American media, she would land the role of Oppenheimer’s wife. In addition, it is said that the director seeks to compose a cast of stars. If so, expect to see more handsome names joining the adventure in the coming weeks.
