Christopher Nolan’s Atomic Bomb Movie: Every Detail You Need To Know
5. Several Major Studios Are In Talks To Land The Project
With the screenplay finished, Nolan is currently shopping the project around Hollywood. As you'd expect, there's a lot of interest from the major studios on this one, and there's no telling who Nolan will ultimately end up partnering with.
According to Variety "most, if not all of the major studios are said to have been in discussions." Presumably, that includes traditional movie studios like Universal, Warner Bros., Sony, Paramount, and Lionsgate, as well as streaming services like Netflix, Apple TV Plus, and Amazon Prime Video.
Nolan is a traditionalist, so the safe bet is that he'll partner with one of those long-running studios, but at the same time, it's impossible to rule out the idea that the Oppenheimer project could be produced by a streaming company.
After all, Netflix just distributed Martin Scorsese's previous movie (The Irishman), and Apple is co-distributing his next (Killers Of The Flower Moon, starring Leonardo DiCaprio). If a Hollywood legend and theatrical evangelist like Scorsese can be wooed by two different streaming companies, then Nolan can be wooed by one.
