The further he’s gone in his career, the more a Christopher Nolan release feels like event cinema. It’s something huge where he uses plenty of practical effects and IMAX cameras. Fingers crossed that when it comes to the inventor of the atomic bomb, he’ll go down the CGI route. But who knows? This is a man who blew up a full sized plane in Tenet. Anyway, here is the first teaser for Oppenheimer.
Very much hinting at whats to come, the sound of an incoming train getting faster and faster as well as multiple voice-overs, seemingly describing the events that lead up to Oppenheimer’s world changing invention. When it comes to real life, it’s one hell of a thing to think of. There is a countdown clock which is heading towards the films release, which mirrors the countdown towards the invention of this explosive. The trailer plays out primarily in black and white whilst being peppered with orange glowing ash and firey smoke filled images similar to that of the poster. Not too much in terms of actual footage, but enough to go on for now, especially with a couple of shots of Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The film’s cast boasts an impressive list, it may be easier to list who isn’t in it. Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Jack Quaid, Matt Damon, Josh Peck, Rami Malek, Benny Safdie, Matthew Modine, Josh Hartnett, Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh, Jason Clarke, Dane DeHaan, Casey Affleck, David Dastmalchian, Alden Ehrenreich and more. The film will release on July 21st.
Keep. It. Reel.
