Oppenheimeris set to be Nolan’s first film sinceTenet, a movie that like Nolan’s other famous brainbusterInceptionrewards multiple rewatches, and likeInception, left many moviegoers confused yet intrigued by what exactly was going on in the film. While Nolan’s name-making trademark style seems to heavily incorporate twisting and mazelike narrative structures and philosophically loaded questions, he has also proven himself capable of delivering straightforward if still jaw-clenchingly tense cinematic experiences, having given the world theDark Knighttrilogy.
Oppenheimerwill be an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning bookAmerican Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimerwritten byKaiBirdandMartin J. Sherwin..With that said, it seems unlikely that the plot will feature too many sudden turns of plot, but reality is sometimes stranger than fiction, and with Nolan anything is possible.Oppenheimeris scheduled to be released on June 22, 2025.
