The Biographical Film ‘Oppenheimer’ Image Shows a Vibrant Look at Cillian Murphy

Fans of Christopher Nolan are in for a treat. This Wednesday, the director of Memento, Inception, and The Dark Knight shared an image from his upcoming film Oppenheimer on social media. And it’s safe to say that everyone is excited to see the film now. The picture shows actor Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer decades before he became the Nobel Prize-winning physicist behind building the atomic bomb that ultimately would cause so much death and destruction at Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II more than two decades later. The picture is black-and-white and grainy, as opposed to the vivid colors that audiences have come to expect from Nolan. He captioned the photo with: “Oppenheimer. 2023. The Upcoming Film Oppenheimer will follow the struggles of the theoretical physicist in his early days as a teacher at the University of California, Berkeley. He becomes involved in the first-ever attempt at using an atomic bomb and then is torn between his loyalty to the government and keeping his moral compass intact. The film takes its title from J. Robert Oppenheimer’s contribution to the Manhattan Project that resulted in the development of the atomic bomb.”
