Universal Pictures has released the first teaser trailer of Oppenheimer, the highly anticipated new film by Christopher Nolan, expected in cinemas in about a year, on July 21, 2023. Three years after the release of Tenet (2020), Nolan is back then behind the camera, trying his hand at a film that seems to be really very ambitious, even if only judging by its trailer. You can see the video below.

Oppenheimer, what do we know?

The film tells the story of Robert Oppenheimer, the inventor of the atomic bomb. The trailer shows very little, but it is enough to convey a strong pathos and the sense of a race against time that risks having tragic implications. The protagonist of the film is Cillian Murphy, who is working with Nolan for the umpteenth time. 

At his side, there is a really full-bodied cast, consisting among others of Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Gary Oldman, and Casey Affleck, the latter two in small roles.

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the film was shot almost exclusively using IMAX technology, with scenes also shot in black and white. Oppenheimer was produced by Nolan himself, his wife Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven of Atlas Entertainment, with whom the director previously worked on the Dark Knight Trilogy. ]

Recall that this is the first collaboration between the famous British director and Universal Pictures. Christopher Nolan has usually partnered with Warner Bros., at least until Tenet, when the relationship began to creak over Warner’s decision to release post-pandemic 2021 films on HBO Max on a day-and-date day.
