Growth. Christopher Nolan is coming again, and he’s able to drum up some consideration for his subsequent characteristic movie, historic wartime drama Oppenheimer. It’s due for launch precisely one 12 months from right now, and to start the 365 day countdown (hey, it’s not a Christopher Nolan film should you’re not being attentive to the intricacies of chronology) the movie’s first poster has arrived on-line – a doomy, dramatic explosion of fireplace, smoke, ash… and the silhouette of Cillian Murphy. Have a look right here:

The movie stars Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who contributed to the ‘Manhattan Venture’ – the search to construct a nuclear bomb throughout World Conflict II. As historical past – and this poster – tells us, that quest was very profitable (and damaging). Nolan is directing from a script he’s written, primarily based on Martin J. Sherwin and Kai Chook’s ebook American Prometheus: The Triumph And Tragedy Of J. Robert Oppenheimer – and, as common, he’s assembled one heck of a forged. Starring alongside Murphy will likely be (because the poster factors out) Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh, plus (because the poster doesn’t point out, as a result of there’d be no room for the rest should you listed everybody) Rami Malek, Benny Sadie, Josh Hartnett, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Alden Ehrenreich, Kenneth Branagh, David Dastmalchian, Jason Clarke, James D’Arcy, Alex Wolff, Gary Oldman, and plenty of extra. Sure, all the lads of Hollywood are on this movie.

Will we get a teaser trailer quickly to go together with the poster? Keep tuned for any rumblings. And extra importantly, since Oppenheimer shares a launch date with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film – 21 July, 2023 – will we get a near-identical poster for that movie, with an explosion of pink neon and Margot Robbie’s plastic doll silhouetted within the centre? Your transfer, Mattel.
