He'll probably rattle the wartime paranoia and secrecy up too to keep it spicy. That television show 'Manhattan' did it too.DylanHoang wrote: ↑April 30th, 2022, 8:56 pmOne has to assume that they guy who gave us Inception + Interstellar (not your average sci-fi) and Dunkirk (not your average war film) is also going to subvert expectations with a biopic, in the best way possible.EOLB wrote: ↑April 30th, 2022, 8:37 pmThe studio described it as a thriller too.

A summer release ended up being very fitting and the movie did well.
I keep saying this over and over: Everyone assumes it’s a straight up biopic, but we haven’t read the screenplay and we don’t know how he’ll approach the story.
https://variety.com/2021/film/news/robe ... 235102846/Universal Pictures is distributing “Oppenheimer,” which the studio describes as an “epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.”
But I agree with radewart. Unless he includes something from Pearl Harbor or World War II, this film should only have three action sequences at best: Trinity, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And it's very possible these sequences are the ones in black and white. All the existent footage is in black and white too, right?
