Christopher Nolan’s Atomic Bomb Movie: Every Detail You Need To Know
1. It's A Drama Aimed At Older Audiences
On the subject of whether or not the Oppenheimer project will release in the summer, here's a piece of information that seems to indicate it won't.
Variety describes the movie as "a drama aimed at adults", marking Nolan's first return to this space since 2006's excellent The Prestige.
Ever since that flick - which was budgeted at $40 million, by the way - Nolan's movies have been spectacle-laden blockbusters, so it's actually quite exciting that he's going to be scaling things back again.
On the downside, this does make the movie less marketable, and considering its high budget, some studios will consider the package a huge risk. But if there's any filmmaker who can sell a $100 million, theatrical-exclusive drama, then it's Nolan.
