Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” finally hits theaters today, his first film since 2020’s “Tenet,” which saw an awkward theatrical release thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. No such worries for this movie, though, as it’s part of Hollywood’s meme-worthy one-two punch at the box-office with Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie.” And while “Barbie” will surely win the box-office battle between the two films this weekend, “Oppenheimer” has the lead right now in critical consensus, sitting at a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes against a 90% for Gerwig’s latest.

Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated thriller Oppenheimer hits cinemas today. The movie stars Peaky Blinders actor Cillian Murphy, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt, and tells the story of the creation of the atomic bomb dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagaski.

Director Christopher Nolan said he once considered a couple of his Oppenheimer cast members for a very different role – Batman.

Margot Robbie admitted in a recent interview she was a "dramatic" child who once pretended to be dead — complete with ketchup blood and a kitchen knife — to get rid of a babysitter she didn’t like.  "We got a new babysitter, and I wanted my old babysitter back, Talia, who was like 16. And I thought she was so cool," the Australian native told BBC Radio 2.

Margot Robbie‘s story about a wild prank she pulled on her babysitter is all the proof you need that she’s been an actor her whole life.

Christopher Nolan delivers his first biographical epic in Oppenheimer.Based on the book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film follows the life of theoretical physicist J.

“To survive in Hollywood, all you need is an occasional miracle.”

Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan are marking their sixth collaboration with Oppenheimer, the biographical epic about the titular complicated and brilliant physicist tasked with leading the Manhattan Project, the secret effort to create the atom bomb, and the moral and political struggles that followed. This is the first time Murphy, who plays Oppenheimer, is essaying a lead role for Nolan – “Finally!”, as he enthuses with a wink below.

Ryan Gosling knows that Ken gives credit where it is due, and he’s doing the same when it comes to his style in Barbie.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Josh Hartnett revealed to Playboy magazine in 2015 that he talked with Christopher Nolan about taking on the role of the Caped Crusader in the director’s “Batman Begins,” which launched Warner Bros.’ billion-dollar grossing “Dark Knight” trilogy. How far did those talks go before Nolan settled on Christian Bale instead? In a new interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Nolan confirmed talks with Hartnett took place, but his casting never got too serious. “No, it never got that far,” Nolan said when asked if he screen-tested Hartnett for the role of Batman. “I met with Josh and if I recall, he was a young actor whose work I was very interested in,” Nolan added. “I had an initial conversation with him but he had read my brother’s script for ‘The Prestige’ at the time and was more interested in getting involved with that. So it never went further than that.”

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “Oppenheimer” has burst into the Oscar race. With the earnest and urgent cultural fabric of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the philosophical measure of “The Tree of Life,” writer, director and producer Christopher Nolan’s chronicle of the creation of the most destructive weapon ever used stands as the most ambitious and vital piece of filmmaking of his career. Adapted from the book “American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, “Oppenheimer” tells the complicated and morally fraught story of American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer who led the effort to develop the atomic bomb. Nolan and his stellar ensemble of actors have amassed 27 Oscar nominations collectively throughout their careers. One of those who surprisingly hasn’t nabbed one is Irish actor Cillian Murphy, who plays the titular scientist. With dry wit and womanizing charm that effectively makes him the scientific version of Michael Fassbender in “Shame,” Murphy is an effective vehicle to lead the viewer through through reams of scientific terminology. In addition, his tour-de-force performance, which is sure to be in real consideration for best actor, is best displayed when showcasing the emotional toll such a creation can have on a person. Lead actors from competitive best picture players, especially from biopics, have been consistently recognized over the past few decades in Oscar history (see Benedict Cumberbatch for “The Imitation Game” or Christian Bale for “American Hustle”). Murphy could find his time has come after decades of memorable turns in “28 Days Later” (2002) and “Breakfast on Pluto” (2006).
