A must read: Sam Mendes was supposed to direct a film based on American Prometheus. James Woods is executive producer for Oppenheimer.

Hey, the more good films out there about the history of science or nuclear history, the better!

Finally got my ticket for Oppenheimer, in a regular old theater, but at least it'll be opening day!

Skyfall and 1917 I do think are totally films he was personally passionate about and it does show, but it's interesting how they parallel Nolan's movies (Dark Knight and Dunkirk specifically) and if he was aware of the similarities.

I kind of miss seeing Nathan Crowley in the behind the scenes material. Always liked him explaining his work in the blu-ray bonus features.

Seeing that this is rated MA15+ in Australia makes me excited. Though i wished i didn't read the reason why. Gonna see it tomorrow.

Josh is a great interviewer.
