Filmmaker
Christopher
Nolan
has
a
new
movie
on
the
anvil,
focusing
on
American
theoretical
physicist
J
Robert
Oppenheimer
who
helped
develop
the
atomic
bomb
during
World
War
II.
According
to
The
Hollywood
Reporter,
major
Hollywood
studios
are
vying
for
Nolan’s
new
movie,
which
isn’t
being
automatically
set
up
at
Warner
Bros.
The
filmmaker
and
his
representatives
have
been
in
talks
with
studios,
which
include
Sony,
Universal
and
Paramount.
Warner
Bros,
which
backed
Nolan's
all
of
past
work
starting
with
2002's
Insomnia,
is
also
in
discussions
for
the
project.
Relations
between
Nolan
and
Warner
Bros
had
soured
last
year
after
the
filmmaker
expressed
dissatisfaction
with
the
studio
for
moving
its
2021
slate
to
a
day-and-date
theatrical
and
HBO
Max
streaming
release.
Plot
details
are
sketchy
but
the
story
will
focus
on
Oppenheimer,
who
is
considered
one
of
the
fathers
of
the
atom
bomb.
He
was
a
pivotal
figure
in
the
Manhattan
Project
-
the
World
War
II
undertaking
that
developed
the
first
nuclear
weapons.
Nolan
most
recently
directed
spy
thriller
movie
Tenet,
starring
John
David
Washington,
Robert
Pattinson,
Elizabeth
Debicki,
Dimple
Kapadia,
Michael
Caine,
and
Kenneth
Branagh.
