Fun Facts of Movie
- J. Robert Oppenheimer was actually mentioned by name in Nolan’s previous film “Tenet (2020)” during a conversation between Priya Singh (Dimple Kapadia) and The Protagonist (John David Washington), seemingly indicating that Nolan already had the idea of what his next film was going to be about.
- For the first time ever, black and white film will be used in an IMAX film camera to shoot certain scenes.
- The cast includes five Oscar winners: Casey Affleck, Kenneth Branagh, Matt Damon, Gary Oldman, Rami Malek, and three Oscar nominees: Robert Downey Jr., Tom Conti and Florence Pugh.
- Producer Charles Roven pitched the film to writer/director Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas by telling them about the biographical book American Prometheus. Intrigued by the book, Nolan asked to read it. After Nolan read the book, he took the job to direct the film.
- This will be Christopher Nolan’s second film related to World War II events following Dunkirk (2017). The film is also scheduled to be released exactly 6 years to the day after Dunkirk.
- The casting of Josh Hartnett marks an interesting “full circle” moment as Hartnett was one of the three finalists to play Batman in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins (2005) but respectfully declined the role, later going on to say he regretted the decision as he is a huge admirer of Nolan’s work as a filmmaker and wished to build a creative relationship with him.
