Christopher Nolanthe highly anticipated film Oppenheimer has officially been slapped with an R rating. This will be the director’s first R-rated film since his 2002 feature Insomnia.
It has also been confirmed that this will be Nolan’s longest film at almost 3 hours. To put that into perspective, the Associated Press reports that the IMAX prints are “11 miles of film stock” that “weigh about 600 pounds.” The film will also be available to view in Imax 70mm, 70mm, Imax digital, 35mm, Dolby Cinema and more.
Nolan shared that “best possible experience” for viewing Oppenheimer it’s the Imax 70mm film format, but that format will only be made available in 25 theaters, including venues like AMC Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, AMC Lincoln Square in New York, Cinemark Dallas, Regal King of Prussia near Philadelphia, and the AutoNation Imax in Fort Lauderdale.
Nolan said of his preferred format: “The sharpness, clarity and depth of the image are unmatched. The title, to me, is shooting on 70mm Imax film, you’re really making the screen disappear. You’re getting a 3D feel without the glasses. You have a huge screen and fill the audience’s peripheral vision. You’re immersing them in the world of the film.”
Nolan went on to talk about the scenes filmed for the Trinity Test, which was the first detonation of an atomic bomb. He said, “We knew this was supposed to be the show. Now we’re able to do things with images that we could only do with sound before in terms of massive impact for the audience: an almost physical sense of response to film.
Damn, can’t wait to see what it’s like! When previously speaking about the film, Nolan teased the film’s enormous scope: “It’s a story of immense scope and scale. And one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever tackled in terms of scope and in terms of meeting the “The breadth of Oppenheimer’s story. There have been big logistical challenges, big practical challenges. But I’ve had an amazing crew, and they’ve really stepped up. It’s going to be a while before we’re done. But certainly as I look at the results come in, And as I’m putting the film together, I’m thrilled with what my team has been able to achieve.”
The film is the protagonist Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who ran the Manhattan Project that led to the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II. The film has been described as an “epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the heart-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world to save it.”
Murphy is joined in the film by Emilia Blunt as biologist and botanist Kitty Oppenheimer; Robert Downey Jr. as founding commissioner of the US Atomic Energy Commission Lewis Strauss; Matt Damon as Manhattan Project Director Leslie Groves Jr.; Florence Pug as psychiatrist Jean Tatlock; Benny Safdie as theoretical physicist Edward Teller; AND Josh Hartnett as pioneered by American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence. The film is also the protagonist Rami Malek, Gary Oldmann, Michael Angarano, Olivia Thirlby, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Alden Ehrenreich, Jason Clarke, David Krumholtz, Kenneth Branagh, AND David Dastmalchian.
