Christopher Nolan’s movies always leave us reflecting on their entire plot, since they are very complicated to understand, but they never stop talking and are critically acclaimed. Some of Nolan’s classics are Memento (2001), Tenet (2020), and how to forget the mythical movie Inception (2010). On July 21 of this year, a new film directed by Christopher Nolan will be released, titled Oppenheimer. But about what this new project is, here we detail everything we know about this new movie
What is Oppenheimer about?
The film follows the life of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project, and his contributions that led to the creation of the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer is considered the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons.

Oppenheimer production
In December 2020, Warner Bros. Pictures announced plans to give its 2021 films simultaneous releases in theaters ad on HBO Max due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the film industry. Christopher Nolan, who had partnered with the studio on each one of his films starting with Insomnia (2002), expressed his disbelief at the decision.
In January 2021, there was a possibility that Nolan’s next film could be the first not be financed or distributed by Warner Bros. Later that year, in September, Nolan announced he would write and direct a biographical film set during World War II about J. Robert Oppenheimer.
