"It's slightly longer than the longest we've done," he says. "It's kissing three hours." That makes it his longest feature yet, beating Interstellar's 2 hours and 49 minutes.
He continued: "I think of any character I've dealt with, Oppenheimer is by far the most ambiguous and paradoxical. Which, given that I've made three Batman films, is saying a lot."
"The script was so emotional, and it reads like a thriller," Emily Blunt, who plays Oppenheimer's biologist wife Katherine, recalled. "It's almost like he's Trojan-Horsed a biopic into a thriller. It's really pulse-racing, the whole thing. I was just completely arrested by the story, the portrait of this man, and, I guess, the trauma of a brain like that."

Super interesting description, if Interstellar can be that length so can this. I wonder if the film will feel like a race against time thriller then pull the rug out from under you to reveal the total pyrrhic victory of this goal being achieved.Ace wrote: ↑May 20th, 2023, 5:08 am

I'm really interested in this subjective/objective concept and how it's all gonna be structured. Maybe already obvious, but one thing I noticed is that we're most likely going to have multiple scenes play out in both color and black and white.
From Trailer 1
From Trailer 2
Look at the background, I'm pretty sure they're the same.

Good catch. I haven't thought of that.
Never thought the two would overlap timeline wise.
Exactly two months to go for me!

I hope it doesn’t cut to black and white during the same scene.

it be cool if some scenes fade from black and white to color like in Memento.Innovator wrote: ↑May 20th, 2023, 9:18 amI'm really interested in this subjective/objective concept and how it's all gonna be structured.

Wow, definitely didn't anticipate that, since I was still thinking along the lines of the film being in color before 1945 and B&W after, even with the objective/subjective distinction. Maybe the main plot will start with Joe-1 and go through the security hearing all in B&W, while flashing back to earlier scenes from before, during, and after the war in color, including scenes already seen previously in B&W but now presented differently in a kind of Rashomon-esque way?

That is how I assumed the movie was going start.physicshistoryguy wrote: ↑May 21st, 2023, 12:48 amWow, definitely didn't anticipate that, since I was still thinking along the lines of the film being in color before 1945 and B&W after, even with the objective/subjective distinction.
