Barbie and Oppenheimer are continuing to reign as “Barbenheimer.”

At this point in their respective careers, Steven Soderbergh and Christopher Nolan are household names for cinephiles. But once upon a time, in the early ’00s, Soderbergh needed to help Nolan get his foot in the door when it came to his entry into studio filmmaking.

Steven Soderbergh had a hand in Christopher Nolan landing the director’s chair for the 2002 thriller Insomnia. The Command Z director recently recalled that he reached out to Warner Bros. bosses to suggest they take a meeting with Nolan.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Steven Soderbergh recently spoke to Rolling Stone while promoting his new series “Command Z” about the origins of his friendship with fellow filmmaker Christopher Nolan. According to the “Traffic” and “Ocean’s Eleven” director, a Warner Bros. executive refused to meet with Nolan about a potential directing gig for the studio’s thriller “Insomnia.” The exec allegedly disliked Nolan’s “Memento,” which counted Soderbergh as one of its biggest fans.

The script behind Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has jumped to the top of bestseller lists on Amazon following the film’s smashing blockbuster release last month.

If you’ve seen Oppenheimer in theaters already, there may have been some moments where the dialogue seemed hard to hear.

One of the oddest aspects of filmmaking that fans seem to obsess over is run-time. Back in the old days, well before social media, a film was released and people consumed it.

according to IMDB’s Box Office Mojo.The Margot Robbie-led flick is expected to hit the billion-dollar mark globally before Monday, which would make its director Greta Gerwig the first solo female director to achieve that goal, CNBC reported.“Meg 2: The Trench,” the sequel to the 2018 original, landed in second, with $12 million in sales.The sci-fi action flick starring Jason Statham, which the Hollywood Reporter said brings “his rugged charm and tough-guy self-irony to sparkling dialogue,” is based on a 1999 novel.In third place was “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” which was released on Wednesday and took home $9.3 million on Friday.The Post called the reboot the Turtles “finest hour,” and said its directors Jeff Rowe and Kyler Spears “bet big on the title and shrewdly explore what it would be like to live as a hormonal, teenage, mutant, ninja turtle.”“Oppenheimer,” which was in second place last Friday, slipped to fourth, with an $8.3 million take. The Christopher Nolan biopic has already earned $500 million globally and is expected to hit over $551 million through Sunday, according to Deadline.Disney’s “Haunted Mansion,” which was in the No.

When Oppenheimer ends its theater run, it’s going to be released on streaming and probably also On Demand and Blu-ray.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Oppenheimer” is Christopher Nolan’s longest movie at 180 minutes, but don’t expect it to get even longer whenever it arrives on home video. Neither a director’s cut of the atomic bomb epic nor deleted scenes from the movie exist, Cillian Murphy recently told Collider. “There’s no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan movies,” Murphy added.

Christopher Nolan’s mega-hit Oppenheimer features dozens of historical characters, but among them you won’t find Ted Hall. And yet Hall, who went to work on the Manhattan Project as a teenage wunderkind physicist, occupies a significant place in the overall story. As a fresh-faced and idealistic youth, he shared top secret details of the atom bomb’s design with Soviet agents — but he was never prosecuted for it.

Oppenheimer were impacted by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.The actor stars in Christopher Nolan‘s critically acclaimed film as Robert J. Oppenheimer, the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb.Speaking exclusively to NME, Murphy explained how the cast were hyper aware of the events in Ukraine, especially after it emerged that Russian president Vladimir Putin had responded to international sanctions by lining his borders with tactical nuclear missiles.“It was everywhere, and we were fully aware of that,” Murphy said of the invasion.

A familiar charge against Christopher Nolan‘s films: they’re too loud, the sound mixing isn’t clear, making dialogue in them impossible to hear sometimes. So is that true for “Oppenheimer,” Nolan’s latest? That may depend on several factors, like whether or not one sees it in an IMAX theater.

Christopher Nolan has explained why some audience members may have difficulty hearing the dialogue in Oppenheimer.The movie, which stars Cillian Murphy as Robert J. Oppenheimer — the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb — has received rave reviews and become a box office hit, but some fans have raised complaints about the film’s sound quality.Nolan’s films have long been criticised for hard-to-hear dialogue, with The Dark Knight Rises and Tenet being two notable examples.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Are Christopher Nolan movies too loud? It’s a question that’s asked every time the director releases a movie, and “Oppenheimer” is no exception. Nolan’s sound mix is once again a point of contention among viewers, with some complaining that it’s hard to understand the dialogue against Ludwig Göransson’s booming score and other sound design choices. In a recent interview with Insider, Nolan explained that one reason it may be hard to hear the dialogue in “Oppenheimer” is because he refuses to re-record his actors in post-production.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director One of the most shocking lines in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” was not scripted by the director himself. It arrives during a scene where Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer is meeting with U.S. Secretary of War Henry Stimson and other government officials about where to drop the atomic bombs in Japan.

Christopher Nolan is one of the most accomplished directors of our time. Delivering hit after hit, Nolan's films are thought-provoking and powerful. His latest film,, based on the true story of J.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Many reviews for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” pointed out the film felt like the director’s own version of Oliver Stone’s sprawling historical epic “JFK,” and now Stone himself has sounded off on Nolan’s latest achievement. The “Platoon” Oscar winner took to social media to deem Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” a new film classic, while also revealing he flirted with making his own film in the past about theoretical physicist and “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Not only has “Oppenheimer” been a massive hit with fans and critics, as well as earning a huge box office total so far, but we’ve already seen the likes of Paul Schrader call it the “best, most important film of this century.” The praise seems neverending. And now, we have Oliver Stone chiming in to say just how much he enjoyed Christopher Nolan’s latest epic.

JFK filmmaker Oliver Stone posted a series of tweets Tuesday praising Christopher Nolan’s latest film Oppenheimer during which he revealed he once turned down a project based around J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life because he couldn’t crack the narrative.
