After the disastrous mishandling of Tenet’s release and the announcement of WB’s “project popcorn”, Nolan left behind the hollowed halls of Warner Brothers for a new studio partnership. After a bidding war between multiple studios, Nolan’s next project landed across the street at Universal Pictures, with a deal that included a guaranteed 100 day exclusive theatrical run.
And the movie he wanted to make? A three hour long talky drama about the father of the nuclear bomb that would go on to make nearly a billion dollars.
This is 2023’s OPPENHEIMER.
Join Nick and Scott as they discuss the biopic that finally won Nolan an Oscar.
