Robert Oppenheimer

People are mad about J. Robert Oppenheimer. It’s not because of his work as director of the Manhattan Project, or even his leftist politics and ties to the Communist Party. This time, it’s because of Oppenheimer, the new biopic from Christopher Nolan — specifically the sex scene between Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) and his real-life partner Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh).

Oppenheimer OTT release: Christopher Noland and Cillian Murphy - the duo has been involved in several blockbuster films in the last couple of decades. Starting with 2005's Batman Begins, Nolan and Murphy have worked together to create magic on the big screen, mesmerizing audiences and earning big numbers at the box office on their way. The latest example of this successful collaboration is Oppenheimer, the highly-acclaimed and Oscar-winning film where Murphy finally plays the lead role in a Nolan film. After months of anticipation, the Oppenheimer OTT release date has been revealed. So, if you wish to watch Oppenheimer from the comfort of your home, know when and where to watch this Oscar-winning film online.

The first look at Cillian Murphy's next movie, Small Things Like These, is here. As well as starring, Murphy is also producing, along with his Oppenheimer co-star Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck is on board as executive producer. 

The Golden Globes 2024 nominations were revealed last night, with Greta Gerwig's feminist candy-coated romp Barbie, which dominated the box office charts this year, leading the pack. It's got a whopping 10 nominations, including one for Best Musical or Comedy, alongside acting nods for stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling (supporting). The awards show has also added two new categories to recognise the best in entertainment, starting with a ‘Cinematic and Box Office Achievement' category, which honours the biggest movies of the year, having grossed $150 million (about Rs. 1,250 crore) minimum, of which $100 million must be from within the US. Eight nominees compete for that award, including Barbie, Oppenheimer, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

English Wikipedia raked in more than 84 billion views this year, according to numbers released Tuesday by the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit behind the free, publicly edited online encyclopedia. And the most popular article was about ChatGPT (yes, the AI chatbot that's seemingly everywhere today).

Today — Friday, Oct. 20 — two wildly clashing and yet somehow complementary works from creators at the top of their game, both sitting right at the intersection of art and commerce, arrive at the same time. It’s Barbenheimer all over again, but this time it’s just for me. Today, we are blessed with both Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

The digital and 4K Blu-ray release date for Christopher Nolan’s has been revealed.

Oppenheimer has been steadily breaking records at the box office since it hit theaters earlier this year. Not only has it become Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film aside from his Batman trilogy, it’s also become the second-highest grossing R-rated movie of all time too.

In 2018, an interview with Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan went viral — possibly because it was the first time he’d ever appeared relatable. In that conversation, he said his children sometimes jokingly call him Reynolds Woodcock, after the aloof, reserved protagonist of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread. Though Nolan’s scripts often feature signature, repeated (and often mocked) tropes, including time manipulation, dead spouses, and protagonists who face complex moral decisions, he injects very little of his own personality into his movies. Characters like Leonardo DiCaprio’s troubled team leader in Inception and Robert Pattinson’s equally troubled handler in Tenet are clearly styled after Nolan himself. But viewers rarely come away from Nolan movies with a greater understanding of his worldview, at least compared to the way directors like Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino put their personalities on screen in every movie they make.

Look, when it comes to the video game community or even just the fan community, they know how to show up and deliver things that truly blow people’s minds just by using what’s out there to make something that is both theirs and yet not. Fan art, fan videos, special edits to create crossovers we’ve never seen before, it’s all par for the course with fans, and today, they outdid themselves. Ed Book, co-creator of Mortal Kombat and head of NetherRealm Studios, noticed a special fan-made roster video for a potential entry in his franchise, and he couldn’t help but post it.

Christopher Nolan seemingly included a horrifying detail in Florence Pugh’s Oppenheimer scenes. The actor plays Jean Tatlock in the movie, who was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) partner before his marriage to Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt). 

Christopher Nolan said it himself: Watching his movie Oppenheimerwill basically ruin your life, and might even make you feel like you’re being blown up. If Nolan fans really want that kind of overwhelming experience, they likely want to watch the film in Nolan’s preferred format. His biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who spearheaded the development of the atomic bomb, asks the audience to stare the destroyer of worlds right in the face, and Nolan thinks the best way to do that is in 70mm IMAX film — or as some die-hards call it, “true IMAX.”

Of the many details worth returning to in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, one of the most striking comes only after learning how the film was made. In what might be the movie’s most harrowing scene, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) delivers a victory speech to the assembled scientists of the Manhattan Project after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While Oppenheimer gives a jingoistic speech to rapturous applause, Nolan depicts the physicist to be in internal anguish, as visions of destruction warp his perception of the event.

The real-life grandson of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb and the subject of Christopher Nolan's box office hit Oppenheimer, has spoken out about the movie, revealing his least favorite scene. 

Oppenheimer may be taking the box office by storm, but Christopher Nolan's new movie isn't the only recent Hollywood take on the birth of the atomic bomb. 

Today when people are excited about the Oppenheimer movie and can only imagine J. Robert Oppenheimer as the ‘father of the atom bomb', very few people know that the astrophysicist also played a stellar role in other discoveries too. He conducted research on black holes even before they were discovered. He played a significant role in the discovery of black holes and described how the collapse of a massive star can lead to the formation of black holes.

Unlike many other new releases, don’t expect Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer to arrive on streaming anytime soon. The director is famously a champion of theatrical releases for his films, and his latest epic about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb is no different.

Christopher Nolan has addressed why Oppenheimer doesn't directly depict the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
