HOLLYWOOD- The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s new film, Oppenheimer, which is based on a Pulitzer-Prize winning book, has dropped.
The Oppenheimer synopsis reads:
“Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer was one of the main individuals involved in the Manhattan Project and was the director at the Los Alamos lab where the first nuclear bombs were assembled.
Oppenheimer welcomes Nolan back as director. He is well known for The Dark Knight Saga, as well as Inception, Intersteller, Dunkirk, and Tenet. Nolan's screenplay is influenced by American Prometheus: A Triumph and Tragedy on J. Robert Oppenheimer, which was written by Martin J.
