Is Albert Einstein involved in this story?
I’ve been wondering that as well, would be so sick if he is, no matter how small the role

Just gotta be careful who is cast, and how it is depicted...with someone that famous, and famous looking you wouldn't want them to come off like a cartoon. At the same time, looking at Bowie as Tesla, Nolan knows how to redefine historical figures cinematically.

Bowie’s Tesla was amazing, if he can pull that off with Einstein then we’re set!!

Found this on vimeo, looks like an actor auditioning for a part in Oppenheimer by reading scenes....

https://vimeo.com/648890989

https://vimeo.com/648890695

Don't know if these are actual scenes in the upcoming movie or scenes from some previous film that fits the style Nolan is looking for in the role...

Another one from a different actor for a different part likely...

Here are two more, with another scene:
https://vimeo.com/648891253
https://vimeo.com/648891451
I think this scene is from the imitation game, or based on it.

With Jean Tatlock and Strauss both being in the film, it gives an idea of the general structure of the film, and it looks to be a traditional biopic that spans a majority of the main character's life. Tatlock was involved with Oppenheimer when he was a young man and Stauss is mainly involved with Oppenheimer many years after the Manhattan project.
