Nolan's ‘Oppenheimer’ drops intense trailer
The official trailer for Christopher Nolan's upcoming historical thriller, "Oppenheimer", was released by Universal Pictures yesterday. The film stars Cillian Murphy, of "Peaky Blinders" fame, as theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer—commonly known as the 'father of the atomic bomb'.
"Oppenheimer" explores the life and morally dubious achievements of the physicist. Oppenheimer was the director of Los Alamos Laboratory, where the bombs were actually put together, and one of the main contributors to the Manhattan Project—a government research project that ran from 1942 to 1946, with a focus on developing nuclear weapons.
