(UTV | COLOMBO) – Emily Blunt will join Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan’s next directorial effort “Oppenheimer” at Universal Pictures.
This marks the “A Quiet Place Part II” and “Jungle Cruise” star’s first project with Nolan who has a tendency to work with actors over multiple films.
“Oppenheimer” is based on Kai Bird’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “American Prometheus” about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicists remembered as one of the fathers of the atom bomb.
The film is described as an “epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.”
Nolan will write and direct with Emma Thomas and Charles Roven producing. A July 21st 2023 release is planned.
