Nolan committed to practicality when telling this historical nuclear tale.
Director Christopher Nolan has always been clear that he's not interested in using CGI to flex a big budget or create a spectacle. If possible, he prefers to use practical camera work more often than not to avoid having his work feel wholly unrealistic, employing effects only where necessary to make things feel seamless. With Oppenheimer, however, Nolan took on a massive challenge: recreating the testing of an atomic bomb.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Considering what Oppenheimer is aiming to do, that may seem quite the stretch to pull off. The film adapts the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin to tell the story of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer - played in the film by the excellent Cillian Murphy - who is widely known as the father of the atomic bomb.
Already, we knew that at least some of the work was going to be practical. Nolan previously detailed how the Oppenheimer team recreated the Trinity test, the first-ever test explosion of the nuclear bomb in the desert of New Mexico in 1945, entirely without CGI. That alone seemed like a monumental feat considering the logistical planning required to match the brilliance of the explosion described by the onlookers at the time of the real-life blast, but Nolan pulled it off.
Since the two are releasing on the same day and could not be more tonally different, it has made for the most fortuitous of circumstances for both films as they feed off of the hype for one another. Both teams have definitely been doing their jobs to hype their respective films with Oppenheimer showcasing its eye-popping visuals and fiery explosions.
Check out the trailer below to see some of the excellent cinematography of Oppenheimer ahead of its theatrical run and look for our exclusive interview with Nolan soon.
