New Delhi
Christopher Nolan's period drama Oppenheimer was arguably the best film of 2023. The director did not have any releases this year, barring the re-release of his iconic film Interstellar. The director, however, has picked his favourite film of 2024 and it is not Dune: Part Two. 
While speaking to Variety, Nolan stated that Ridley Scott's epic period action drama Gladiator II was his favourite film of the year. 
In a long note to Variety, Nolan stated, “Scott knows we’re not there for insights into Roman culture; we’re there to see our dark desires at a comfortable remove. But he’s far too experienced a director to get caught making parallels with our time. He lets the world of Gladiator II speak for itself, once again showing us who we are simply by inviting us to enjoy the crazy inflationary ride."
“Like the best long-awaited sequels, “Gladiator II” must be a remake and sequel in one, and it’s a testament to Scott’s brilliance that he manages to balance the individual pathos of the original with the expansionist demands of the sequel’s central theme, bringing a lifetime of experience in controlling tone. Scott raises the game with the staging of his action — his incredible, hyper-observant, multi-camera mise-en-scène (so different to the original) masterfully wrestles the action into clear and jaw-dropping sequence after sequence. The effect is not just to entertain, but to drive us towards awareness of the movie’s themes. Few filmmakers have ever worked so invisibly on multiple levels,” Nolan added.
Nolan on Dune: Part Two
Nolan had earlier hailed another sequel that was released in 2024—Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two. Nolan had called the film a “miraculous job of adaptation.” Taking the second half and making an incredible conclusion to the story," said Nolan, adding, "What a remarkable piece of work."
Nolan added, "If, to me, Dune was like Star Wars, then Dune 2 is The Empire Strikes Back, which is my favourite Star Wars film. I think it's just a great expansion of all that was introduced in the first one. What I was really struck by is the sense of immersion in that world," he continued.
Nolan shared, “It's a film that has so many unique images, so many things you've never seen before in this movie, time after time, and I was so struck by the detail of everything.”

WION's review of Gladiator II
In her review of the film, WION's Shomini Sen wrote, "Many loved Gladiator for its scale and originality. 24 years down the line, there have been several similar stories made both for TV and the big screen. I do wish Gladiator II had given the revenge drama a slightly more unique spin than what they present because the actors are good, the scale is huge, and visually it's stunning with a great background score- but it's the tried and tested formulaic writing that wears the film down.

King Charles of Britain bestowed the honour on the couple who have worked together on multiple films and all of them have been super successful in terms of critical acclaim and box office numbers.&nbsp;

On meeting the King, Christopher Nolan said, it was “really wonderful” and that receiving the honours was “very special”. Nolan’s wife Emma who is now a Dame said that receiving the honour was “mind-blowing” and she had “never even dreamed of anything like this happening”, adding it was “even more meaningful” to be honoured alongside her husband.

Speaking to the PA news agency, Nolan added that “it was very nice that he knew our work and was aware of it, and, yes, he was hoping that I would take this as encouragement to do more of it.”

Dame Emma added, “He’d seen Oppenheimer, and he liked it, so that was very gratifying to hear.”&nbsp;

She added, “What I was really thrilled by is the fact that I’ve heard anecdotally since about lots of younger people having their first experience of this story on the big screen, and then delving deeper and doing more of their own research into the events that we portrayed.”

Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are married and have four kids. They met while studying at University College London (UCL), with Nolan introducing Thomas to the university’s film society, where he was president and produced short films.&nbsp;

Emma also spoke a little about their family and how as a unit they “love” to watch films, adding “So long as there are great movies and cinemas we will be there”. The producer said it was not possible to “replicate that sort of magic in your own home or watching just with one or two people”.&nbsp;

Seems like Randeep Hooda didn't like Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning movie, Oppenheimer. Hooda, who was recently seen in a biopic drama Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, called Cillian Murphy's movie a 'propoganda film' and went on to question why Hollywood movies only show America's greatness.

During his interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, the actor talked about Oppenheimer, which was based on the life of J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. Hooda&nbsp;highlighted the pain&nbsp;that&nbsp;the atomic bomb caused to the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.&nbsp;

“America made Oppenheimer. That man built the atomic bomb. It was such a painful incident… in Japan, on civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they detonated the bomb at night, but they’re good guys,'' he said.

Japanese, and Germans are bad’ and history also has the same thing, because they have written history. But this is not true.”

''They even say that aliens always come to America. Aliens can only spot America. They made pictures on their heroes like Oppenheimer, and Truman and the world watches them. We are always trying to demean our heroes because of political agenda.”

Randeep Hooda thinks Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is a ‘propaganda’ film

The Oscar-winning director of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, and his wife and producer Emma Thomas, will receive a knighthood and damehood for their services to film, according to a statement on Thursday from the UK government.

Their recognition comes after their biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” swept the awards season, notably at the Academy Awards earlier this month, where the movie won seven Oscars, including best film and best director.

Nolan, 53, had previously been nominated for Memento, Inception&nbsp;and Dunkirk.

News of their honours was a bit of a surprise because they are usually handed out twice in the year, once to mark the new year and then on the birthday of King Charles III, who confers the honours. They are sometimes awarded after special achievements, often related to sports and the arts.

The honours are formally awarded at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace, often by the U.K. monarch in person. However, the king is currently not undertaking any royal duties, because he is undergoing treatment for cancer.

Born in London to a British father and American mother, Nolan met his future wife, Thomas, 53, while they both attended University College London. They have four children and run a production company, Syncopy, which has been behind many of their blockbusters.

When Nolan was presented with the British Film Institute Fellowship earlier this year for being “one of the world’s most innovative and influential film directors,” he credited his wife.

He said he never felt alone making films as Thomas “always saw things the same way I did in terms of the importance of the medium.”

Addressing the audience at this year’s Academy Awards, Nolan noted cinema is just over a century old.

“Imagine being there 100 years into painting or theatre,” said Nolan, who shared the best-picture award with his wife and producer. “We don’t know where this incredible journey is going from here. But to know that you think that I’m a meaningful part of it means the world to me.”

Christopher Nolan and his atomic drama Oppenheimer have already conquered the award season with their big wins. The movie is Nolan's 13th feature film and has once again taken the director's legacy to the Academy stage, with an unexpected buzz. The movie, Nolan's most ambitious project, proved once again his excellence as a director. Lasting 3 hours and 9 seconds, Nolan's Oppenheimer was an intricate physical and history class within the framework of a thriller. Both Barbie and Oppenheimer created a cultural phenomenon that would go down in the history of cinema as monumental. Much like Greta Gerwig's movie, Christopher Nolan's atomic bomb thriller was the critics' darling and even received love from the audience. After passing the box office test and earning billions, it's time to woo the jury at the biggest Hollywood night - the Oscars. Bring back the red! Oscars 2024 rolls out carpet for March 10 event and it is back to basics The movie was a frontrunner for all major awards this award season, clinching monumental wins at different award functions. At the Academy Awards, Oppenheimer is leading with 13 nominations. As we gear up for cinema's biggest night, we look back at Oppenheimer's success. Will it fetch Nolan his first Academy Award? Let's find out. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oppenheimer (@oppenheimermovie) × Oppenheimer: The story of the father of atomic bomb, J Robert Oppenheimer Nolan explained the concept of fission and fusion in the best way possible in Oppenheimer. The movie had the exceptional Cillian Murphy in the lead and revolves around the life and times of J. Robert Oppenheimer, aka father of the atomic bomb. The American theoretical physicist created an atomic bomb when he was the director of the Manhattan Project’s secret Los Alamos Laboratory, which America later used in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that took the lives of thousands of innocent people. Packed by powerful performances from the cast, consisting of Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt, the movie told this chapter of history in the most compelling way one could imagine. Oscars 2024: Vanessa Hudgens and Julianne Hough to host pre-show red carpet The chapter that has thought with a non-linear narrative takes us into the marvellous brain of Oppenheimer and his fascinating mind that led to the creation of the world's most dangerous weapon. Christopher Nolan's first Oscar win is on the way Based on the biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, Nolan took the audience to the era of World War II in the most immersive way possible. Nolan changed the entire definition of how a biopic should be made. And it was his first biopic. To me, at least, Oppenheimer is somewhat an amalgamation of Nolan's previous works, which infuses realism, non-chronological plot, and fine and accurate characters. The filmmaker recreated the fiery blast scenes without the use of CGI or VFX in the film, which just proves his mastery of filmmaking and imagination. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oppenheimer (@oppenheimermovie) × From the story, music score, and acting to editing, Nolan balanced everything in the movie perfectly, giving a sense of satisfaction that makes this movie a cinematic masterpiece and the frontrunner for Best Picture at the Oscars 2024. Oscar Awards 2024 Best Picture Nominee: Here’s how Greta Gerwig’s Barbie became a global cultural phenomenon The powerful cast of the movie Watching Oppenheimer was no less than a masterclass in acting. Nolan picked some of the most incredible actors who presented the story and played their roles in the most commendable way. British actor Cillian Murphy gave a career-defining performance as Oppenheimer. In the 3-hour-long film, he captivated the audience with his deep blue eyes, and the transformation he had while playing the complex role with emotional depth deserves all the kudos and the Best Oscar trophy! As an actor, Robert Downey Jr. is way more than just Iron Man, and his portrayal of Lewis Strauss, a senior member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, is proof of that. In the Best Supporting Actor category, his performance stands out, making him another strong contender from the Oppenheimer team to clinch an Oscar. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oppenheimer (@oppenheimermovie) × Oppenheimer @ Oscars Like the nominations list, Nolan's Oppenheimer is likely to dominate the Academy Awards night too. The atomic bomb thriller is competing in 13 categories, including Direction for Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Downey, and Best Film. In total, the movie has scored a record 13 nominations this year. And if it manages to win in all the categories, it will march into the record books. Going by early predictions and recent wins, Christopher Nolan (for Best Picture and Best Director), Cillian Murphy (Best Actor), Rober Downey Jr. (Best Supporting Actor), Hoyte van Hoytema (cinematography), Willie Burton, Richard King, Gary A. Rizzo, and Kevin O’Connell (sound) look like clear winners in their categories. Let's wait and watch!

Oscars 2024: Stars who haven't won the golden trophy yet

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer took home the top honours at the BAFTA Awards 2024. The awards ceremony took place in London on Sunday night and saw Oppenheimer winning in the Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories. It also picked up a few technical awards. The film won seven BAFTAs out of 13 nominations. 
&nbsp; 
Poor Things took home five awards, including the Best Actress award for Emma Stone.&nbsp; 
 
BAFTA chair Sarah Putt opened the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall and welcomed the star-studded audience, which included Prince William, who arrived solo as his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to recuperate at home following an operation.&nbsp; 
 
William is president of BAFTA but on Sunday night refrained from giving a speech, perhaps due to personal reasons as his father King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer last month. The awards night was hosted by actor David Tennet who quipped during his opening monologue, “Tonight’s going to go smoother than Ken’s chest,” referring to&nbsp;the plastic doll played by a hairless torsoe’d Ryan Gosling in Barbie. 
 
Greta Gerwig's Barbie was completely sidelined as the film failed to win any awards.&nbsp; 
 
Here's the full list of winners at BAFTA 2024:&nbsp;

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer took home the top honours at the BAFTA Awards 2024. The awards ceremony took place in London on Sunday night and saw Oppenheimer winning in the Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer took home the top honours at the BAFTA Awards 2024. The awards ceremony took place in London on Sunday night and saw Oppenheimer winning in the Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories. It also picked up a few technical awards. The film won seven BAFTAs out of 13 nominations. Poor Things took home five awards, including the Best Actress award for Emma Stone. BAFTA chair Sarah Putt opened the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall and welcomed the star-studded audience, which included Prince William, who arrived solo as his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to recuperate at home following an operation. William is president of BAFTA but on Sunday night refrained from giving a speech, perhaps due to personal reasons as his father King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer last month. The awards night was hosted by actor David Tennet who quipped during his opening monologue, “Tonight’s going to go smoother than Ken’s chest,” referring to the plastic doll played by a hairless torsoe’d Ryan Gosling in Barbie. Greta Gerwig's Barbie was completely sidelined as the film failed to win any awards. Here's the full list of winners at BAFTA 2024: Best film Anatomy of a Fall The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon Oppenheimer – WINNER!

BAFTA Awards 2024: Oppenheimer, Poor Things sweep the awards night. See full list of winners

The glitz and glamour of Hollywood took centre stage at the 76th annual Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards, held at Beverly Hilton. Christopher Nolan emerged as the night's top winner for Oppenheimer. Meanwhile, Celine Song secured recognition for her debut theatrical film Past Lives.

Historically, the DGA Awards serve as a strong indicator of Oscar success, with only eight instances in 75 years where the eventual Best Director Oscar winner did not align with the DGA winner. Last year, the trophy went to the Daniels for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Christopher Nolan's win for Oppenheimer solidifies his frontrunner status for the director Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony on March 10.&nbsp;

The Directors Guild also honoured David Nutter with the Lifetime Achievement Award in Television, Janet G. Knutsen with the Frank Capra Achievement Award and Gary Natoli with the Franklin J. Schaffner Achievement Award.

The 76th annual DGA Awards released its list of nominees for the current year and no points for guessing, Barbenheimer directors Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan have made it to the best feature film director list. Both Greta (Barbie) and Christopher (Oppenheimer) have been ruling the world of films in awards, after the two films created a massive furore at the box office and brought the Hollywood fraternity out of its slumber in 2023.&nbsp;

The Directors Guild of America nominated five directors in total. In addition to Greta, there is Martin Scorsese in the list for Killers of the Flower Moon, Yorgos Lanthimos for Poor Things and Alexander Payne for The Holdovers.

DGA Awards 2024: Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig among nominees

Sunday was a big night for Christopher Nolan and his Oppenheimer team as the film won top honours at the Golden Globes 2024. The film's leading man Cillian Murphy won his first Golden Globe award for a spectacular performance in Nolan's Oppenheimer. 
 
Murphy took to the stage and talked about his experience of working with Nolan as he accepted his Best Actor (Drama) award. 
 
Cillian Murphy's acceptance speech

As Murphy's name was announced, his wife planted a kiss on his nose and quickly tried to wipe it off as he made his way to the stage. Murphy got on stage and asked, "Do I have lipstick all over my nose? I'm just gonna leave it," and proceeded with his acceptance speech.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-golden-globe-awards-2024-full-list-of-winners-677596">Golden Globes 2024: Oppenheimer wins top honours; see full list of winners</a> 
 
“I knew the first time I walked on a Chris Nolan set that it was different. I could tell by the level of rigour, the level of focus, the level of dedication, the complete lack of any seating options for actors,” Murphy quipped with a laugh, “that I was in the hands of a visionary director and master.” 
 
Nolan, who accepted the Golden Globe for Best Director earlier in the ceremony, has directed Murphy in a few&nbsp;other films, such as the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Dunkirk. 
 
Murphy gave a shoutout to a number of his co-stars in the biographical film about J Robert Oppenheimer, credited as the father of the atomic bomb. “We had the most incredible ensemble cast in this movie,” the actor said. “It was magic and some of them are here today: Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Gary Oldman. Thank you for carrying me and holding me through this movie."&nbsp;

Why don't Christopher Nolan's film sets have chairs? 
 
Nolan's disinterest in providing chairs on his film sets is well known. During a 2020 interview, Anne Hathaway — who co-starred with Murphy in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises — quipped that the filmmaker doesn’t allow chairs on his sets. This led a representative for Nolan to clarify that chairs are not banned, but that he doesn’t like them near the video monitor. 
 
Oppenheimer wins big at Golden Globes 
 
The film won Robert Downey Jr the Best Supporting Actor award while Nolan won the Best Director award. The film also won in the Best Film (Drama) category. TV drama series Succession too won top honours in the TV drama category. Emma Stone won the Best Actress award (Musical or Comedy) for her role in Poor Things. Meanwhile, Greta Gerwig's Barbie, which led the nominations list, only managed to win two awards.&nbsp;

I could tell by the level of rigour, the level of focus, the level of dedication, the complete lack of any seating options for actors,” Murphy quipped with a laugh, “that I was in the hands of a visionary director and master.” Nolan, who accepted the Golden Globe for Best Director earlier in the ceremony, has directed Murphy in a few other films, such as the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception and Dunkirk. Murphy gave a shoutout to a number of his co-stars in the biographical film about J Robert Oppenheimer, credited as the father of the atomic bomb. “We had the most incredible ensemble cast in this movie,” the actor said. “It was magic and some of them are here today: Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Gary Oldman. Thank you for carrying me and holding me through this movie." You're a #GoldenGlobes winner! Congrats on winning Best Male Actor – Motion Picture – Drama for your role in Oppenheimer, Cillian Murphy! 🥳 pic.twitter.com/Uk9elJsRO1 — Golden Globe Awards (@goldenglobes) January 8, 2024 × Murphy prevailed over fellow nominees Bradley Cooper (Maestro), Leonardo DiCaprio (Killers of the Flower Moon), Colman Domingo (Rustin), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn) and Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers). In pics: Golden Globes 2024: Best and worst-dressed celebs on this year's red carpet Why don't Christopher Nolan's film sets have chairs? Nolan's disinterest in providing chairs on his film sets is well known. During a 2020 interview, Anne Hathaway — who co-starred with Murphy in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises — quipped that the filmmaker doesn’t allow chairs on his sets. This led a representative for Nolan to clarify that chairs are not banned, but that he doesn’t like them near the video monitor. Oppenheimer wins big at Golden Globes The film won Robert Downey Jr the Best Supporting Actor award while Nolan won the Best Director award. The film also won in the Best Film (Drama) category. TV drama series Succession too won top honours in the TV drama category. Emma Stone won the Best Actress award (Musical or Comedy) for her role in Poor Things. Meanwhile, Greta Gerwig's Barbie, which led the nominations list, only managed to win two awards.

Golden Globes 2024: Cillian Murphy jokes about lack of seating on Oppenheimer set

It was indeed a cinematic moment when two of the biggest films of Hollywood - Barbie and Oppenheimer- were released on the same day in July 2023. The Barbenheimer phenomenon- mostly a marketing gimmick of both teams - helped in drawing attention to the films. While Barbie faired well at the box office ($2.4 billion worldwide), Oppenheimer- it seems- gained more on Sunday night at Golden Globe Awards 2024.&nbsp; 
 
Christopher Nolan's drama about the inventor of the atomic bomb topped the Golden Globes but its fellow summer smash hit Barbie missed out on best comedy film honours to Poor Things.&nbsp; 
 
Oppenheimer took five prizes including best drama, best director for Nolan, best score, as well as acting wins for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr.&nbsp;Even though Greta Gerwig's film led the nominations list with nine nods, on Sunday, it only managed to take home two awards.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-golden-globe-awards-2024-full-list-of-winners-677596">Golden Globes 2024: See full list of winners</a> 
 
It won the award for best song, for a tune written by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas. As the year's highest-grossing movie, it claimed a newly created trophy for box office achievement.

"We would like to dedicate this to every single person on the planet who dressed up and went to the greatest place on Earth, the movie theatres," said Margot Robbie, the film's star and producer.

"Thank you to all the Barbies and Kens in front of and behind the screen," added Gerwig.

Oppenheimer's big night at the Golden Globes 
 
Emma Thomas, the film's producer and Nolan's wife, said her husband's three-hour epic about "one of the darkest developments in our history" is "unlike anything anyone else is doing."

Murphy, who plays brilliant scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, hailed his "visionary director," while Downey Jr, portraying the protagonist's bitter rival, praised the movie as a "masterpiece."

Celebrations at the Globes after an uncertain 2023 
 
After an annus horribilis in which the industry was crippled by strikes, A-listers turned out in force to celebrate Sunday.&nbsp;

Stars who were unable to promote their movies during the months-long Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) walkout used the occasion to make up for lost time on the Oscars campaign trail.

Along with movie stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, attendees included big names from the world of music such as Bruce Springsteen and Dua Lipa -- both nominated for best song -- and Taylor Swift representing her recent concert movie.&nbsp;The Globes were boycotted by the industry after allegations of corruption and racism rose to the surface in 2021, and the show was taken off air entirely a year later. 
 
Since then, the controversial group of Los Angeles-based foreign journalists that created the Globes 80 years ago has been disbanded, and a wider net of overseas critics was brought in to choose this year's winners.&nbsp;"Golden Globes journalists, thanks for changing your game," said Downey Jr as he collected his prize.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-golden-globes-2024-cillian-murphy-jokes-about-lack-of-seating-on-oppenheimer-set-677668">Golden Globes 2024: Cillian Murphy jokes about lack of seating on Oppenheimer set</a>

Golden Globes 2024: Oppenheimer wins top honours as Barbie gets snubbed

Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan recently spoke about the significant influence Zack Snyder has had on the superhero science-fiction film genre. Nolan, known for directing movies like the Dark Knight trilogy and Oppenheimer, served as a producer for Snyder's Man of Steel, which kicked off the now-defunct DC Extended Universe.

In a profile by The Atlantic Nolan credited Snyder with leaving an imprint on contemporary superhero cinema, stating, "There's no superhero science-fiction film coming out these days where I don't see some influence of Zack. When you watch a Zack Snyder film, you see and feel his love for the potential of cinema. The potential of it to be fantastical, to be heightened in its reality, but to move you and to excite you.”

Currently, Zack Snyder is in the spotlight with his latest film, Rebel Moon: Part One: A Child of Fire, available on Netflix. The filmmaker is considering future projects, expressing interest in creating a James Bond-type film. Snyder envisions exploring the humble roots and youthful trauma that shape the iconic character.

As fans anticipate an extended version of Rebel Moon with nearly an hour of additional content, Snyder remains proud of the PG-13 version while hinting at an R-rated original thesis for the film.&nbsp;

WION's review of Rebel Moon read, "As we traverse the galaxy with this motley crew, we are treated to slow-motion sequences that worked better in 300 but here only serve to exacerbate the tedium. Snyder's insistence on dragging out every action with slo-mo turns what could have been a mildly entertaining romp into a cinematic purgatory."

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is set to make a comeback in IMAX 70mm format, giving audiences another opportunity to experience the three-hour epic. Originally chronicling the inception and construction of the first atomic bomb, the film, led by Cillian Murphy's titular character, will be re-screening in select US theatres from January 12.

The film's impact on IMAX's financial performance has been significant. Oppenheimer has grossed an estimated $183 million in IMAX format alone, contributing to IMAX's 50 per cent increase in profits during the third quarter of 2023, as per media reports. With a net income of $12 million, the company has seen a substantial improvement from the $9 million loss reported in the previous year. IMAX's total revenue reached $103.9 million, marking a 51 per cent increase from the previous year.

Fronted by Cillian Murphy, the film explores the life of the titular theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer and the so-called 'father of the atomic bomb'. The event at the centre of the movie is the Trinity test, by which the first atomic weapon was successfully tested. Also in the cast are Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

<h2>Oppenheimer review</h2>

WION's review of Oppenheimer read, "Nolan's signature style, with its non-linear narrative, transcends mere storytelling, guiding the audience through a labyrinth of time and memory. Seamlessly transitioning between Oppenheimer's past and present, Nolan skillfully explores the fluidity of memory, perception, and remorse. His directorial prowess, matched with the stunning artistry of Hoyte van Hoytema, turns Oppenheimer into an exquisite visual epic, with many memorable visual images. The Trinity Test, which proved to the US government that this weapon indeed was as destructive as the scientists claimed, is depicted as an event of Biblical proportions. A moment of celebration comes a little later, but at first everyone is shaken by the enormity of the thing."

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer to return to US theatres in IMAX 70mm

This was the year of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The film based on the life of Robert Oppenheimer clashed with Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and created mayhem at the box office with humongous box office numbers. It not only broke previous records but also set the stage for a super successful year at the cinema, as it managed to get audiences to the theatres.&nbsp;

As the year draws to a close, Christopher Nolan, the director behind the film Oppenheimer,&nbsp;reflected on the effect his film had on cinema lovers. The film beat major Hollywood tent[poles like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and every superhero movie that released in 2023 to maintain a rock-solid stand at the box office.&nbsp;

Speaking about the phenomena that his latest film was, Nolan said, “I’ve just made a three-hour film about Robert Oppenheimer which is R-rated and half in black-and-white – and it made a billion dollars. Of course, I think films are doing great.”

He added, “The crazy thing is that it’s literally the most successful film I’ve ever made. I’ve been doing this for 20 years and in the United Kingdom it’s my highest-grossing film. So I feel great about the state of the movie business, based on my own experience. But also based on seeing other movies break out, seeing audiences come back. The audience’s desire to be surprised, to see something new, to see something they did not know they wanted, that’s always been the most powerful force in theatrical film. So it was wonderful to see that this year.”

Christopher Nolan experienced Oppenheimer’s power over moviegoers firsthand by sneaking into screenings of the movie on opening weekend.

He said, “Emma [Thomas, Nolan’s producer and wife] and I went into the back of Lincoln Square, which has a giant IMAX screen where you can still play 70mm film. And there were two screens – one five-perf 70mm, one 15-perf – and we went from one to the other. When we walked into the back of the IMAX screen, it was just as the Trinity test was coming to its conclusion. It was absolutely packed; every seat was filled. To be in the back of that theatre in that moment of silence, before the sound washes over the audience… you could hear a pin drop. It was a really remarkable experience. Quite overwhelming, really.”

Oppenheimer is now available to rent or buy on VOD and digital platforms.

Christopher Nolan: I feel great about the state of movie business

After several controversies Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer will finally release in Japan. A local distributor announced that the movie will release in Japan next year.

Japan to screen 'Oppenheimer' in 2024; Why is the movie controversial in Japan?

Japanese distributor Bitters End has officially announced the upcoming theatrical release of Christopher Nolan's biopic Oppenheimer in Japan, as per The Hollywood Reporter. No specific release date has been provided.

In a statement, Bitters End revealed that the choice to bring Oppenheimer to Japanese cinemas was made after months of thoughtful dialogue, acknowledging the particular sensitivity of the subject matter. The distributor emphasised the unique cinematic experience created by Nolan, urging audiences to witness it on the big screen.

The film starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, and Florence Pugh, &nbsp;delves into the life of American theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer, the renowned figure behind the development of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project.

Oppenheimer has achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success, grossing over $950 million worldwide. Despite its success, the film has been surrounded by controversy in Japan due to its portrayal of Oppenheimer's involvement in the development of the atomic bomb.

Earlier this summer, Warner Bros Japan issued an apology after a social media incident involving memes that many interpreted as making light of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The hashtag #NoBarbenheimer trended in response.&nbsp;

Nolan has, meanwhile, defended his artistic choices, explaining that the film is told subjectively from Oppenheimer's point of view, who, like the rest of the world, learned about the bombings through the radio.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer confirmed for theatrical release in Japan amid controversy

Director Christopher Nolan has stepped into&nbsp;the ongoing debate within Hollywood about the dominance of established franchises versus the creation of original films.

Speaking to the Associated Press in a recent interview, Nolan underscored the significance of established titles in ensuring a returning audience while acknowledging the importance of fulfilling the audience's desire for fresh and innovative content.

"There's always a balance in Hollywood between established titles that ensure a return audience and giving people more of what they want," Nolan said, highlighting the economic role these franchises play in the industry's dynamics.

However, he also stressed the value of offering viewers something novel and distinct.

"That’s one of the big thrills of going to the movies, seeing the trailer for a movie you’ve never heard of, or type of movie you haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a long time, something new, something fresh," Nolan remarked.

"A healthy ecosystem in Hollywood is about a balance of two things, and always has been."

Nolan urged against overanalysing audience reactions to specific types of films and underscored the diverse expectations and preferences that moviegoers bring to the cinema. He advocated for embracing variety in filmmaking, acknowledging the vast potential of the movie screen to encompass a wide array of genres and narratives.

"They’re not realistic in terms of how we will watch movies," he said. "We all watch movies with different expectations for what kind of movie it is. We all go to the movies, wanting to see something different than we saw the week before. You have horror movies and comedies and documentaries — the movie screen can be anything. And so the more variety we have, the more interesting films being made, the better it is, for all of us as moviegoers and as industry professionals."

His comments followed a query about Martin Scorsese's stance on combatting the prevalence of comic book movies. Scorsese, in an earlier interview with GQ, urged filmmakers to challenge the status quo and revitalise cinema by exploring diverse perspectives and narratives.

"It’s gotta come from the filmmakers themselves. And you’ll have, you know, the Safdie brothers, and you’ll have Chris Nolan, you know what I mean? And hit ’em from all sides," Scorsese told GQ earlier this year. "Hit them from all sides, and don’t give up. Let’s see what you got. Go out there and do it. Go reinvent. Don’t complain about it. But it’s true because we’ve got to save cinema."

Director Christopher Nolan has stepped into the ongoing debate within Hollywood about the dominance of established franchises versus the creation of original films. Speaking to the Associated Press in a recent interview, Nolan underscored the significance of established titles in ensuring a returning audience while acknowledging the importance of fulfilling the audience's desire for fresh and innovative content. "There's always a balance in Hollywood between established titles that ensure a return audience and giving people more of what they want," Nolan said, highlighting the economic role these franchises play in the industry's dynamics. However, he also stressed the value of offering viewers something novel and distinct. "That’s one of the big thrills of going to the movies, seeing the trailer for a movie you’ve never heard of, or type of movie you haven’t seen or haven’t seen in a long time, something new, something fresh," Nolan remarked. "A healthy ecosystem in Hollywood is about a balance of two things, and always has been."

He advocated for embracing variety in filmmaking, acknowledging the vast potential of the movie screen to encompass a wide array of genres and narratives. "They’re not realistic in terms of how we will watch movies," he said. "We all watch movies with different expectations for what kind of movie it is. We all go to the movies, wanting to see something different than we saw the week before. You have horror movies and comedies and documentaries — the movie screen can be anything. And so the more variety we have, the more interesting films being made, the better it is, for all of us as moviegoers and as industry professionals." His comments followed a query about Martin Scorsese's stance on combatting the prevalence of comic book movies. Scorsese, in an earlier interview with GQ, urged filmmakers to challenge the status quo and revitalise cinema by exploring diverse perspectives and narratives. "It’s gotta come from the filmmakers themselves. And you’ll have, you know, the Safdie brothers, and you’ll have Chris Nolan, you know what I mean? And hit ’em from all sides," Scorsese told GQ earlier this year. "Hit them from all sides, and don’t give up. Let’s see what you got. Go out there and do it. Go reinvent. Don’t complain about it. But it’s true because we’ve got to save cinema." (With inputs from agencies)

Christopher Nolan advocates for balance between franchises and original films in Hollywood

Renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan recently addressed widespread rumours surrounding his potential involvement in the next James Bond film, dispelling the speculation that he might be taking the reins of the iconic spy franchise. The acclaimed director of Oppenheimer clarified his position in a recent interview, putting an end to the swirling rumours.

In a conversation with the Associated Press, Nolan stated unequivocally, "No. Sadly no truth to those rumours, but I’m very thrilled the [Hollywood] strike is over and we can all get back to work."

This declaration from Nolan confirms that, despite the exciting prospect for many fans, he won't be guiding the next chapter of the James Bond saga.

The anticipation for the next James Bond film has been mounting, especially after the conclusion of Daniel Craig's portrayal of the suave British spy. Craig first assumed the role of James Bond in 2006's Casino Royale, succeeding Pierce Brosnan. Over the next decade and a half, he brought the character to life in Quantum of Solace (2008), Skyfall (2012), Spectre (2015), and the latest installment, No Time To Die (2021).

The departure of Craig from the franchise has left the door wide open for a new actor to step into the iconic role. While the next James Bond film doesn't currently have a set timetable for release, the selection of a new director is a critical decision that will shape the future of the beloved series.

During the Craig era, directors such as Martin Campbell, Marc Forster, Sam Mendes, and Cary Joji Fukunaga have helmed the Bond films, each contributing their unique vision to the franchise. The upcoming director will face the formidable task of not only guiding the next installment but also selecting a new actor to carry the torch and potentially star in a series of films for the next decade.

As fans eagerly await updates on the franchise's future, the recent end of the industry strike marks a positive turn, allowing the film industry to resume its operations and promising new and exciting developments on the horizon.
