Oppenheimer: Watch an Exclusive Five-minute ‘Look’, by the Film’s Editor

Experience the Opening Look of Oscar Award Winning film, Oppenheimer, created by the film’s editor Jennifer Lame, reveals scenes, images and sounds from the IMAX®-shot epic thriller and features the film’s breathtaking score by Academy Award® winner Ludwig Göransson.

“Oppenheimer,” delves into the complex life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the enigmatic physicist who led the Manhattan Project. Cillian Murphy portrays Oppenheimer, forced to grapple with the chilling paradox of potentially destroying the world to safeguard it.

Emily Blunt joins Murphy as Oppenheimer’s wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. The cast boasts a star-studded ensemble, including Academy Award winners Matt Damon and Rami Malek, portraying General Leslie Groves Jr. and Lewis Strauss, respectively. Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh steps into the role of psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, while Benny Safdie takes on theoretical physicist Edward Teller.

The film reunites Nolan with acclaimed actor and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh, and features a talented supporting cast including Robert Downey Jr., Josh Hartnett, Dane DeHaan, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, and Matthew Modine.

“Oppenheimer” is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The production team comprises Emma Thomas, Charles Roven of Atlas Entertainment, and Christopher Nolan himself.

Filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and traditional 65mm formats, “Oppenheimer” pushes boundaries even further by incorporating the first-ever use of IMAX® black and white analog cinematography.

Fresh off a year of box office dominance, Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” cemented its place in awards history by claiming the coveted Best Picture award at the 96th Academy Awards. The historical drama, chronicling the development of the atomic bomb, capped off a triumphant night, adding Best Picture to its collection of seven Oscars.

“Oppenheimer” emerged victorious from a fiercely competitive field. It beat out box-office rival “Barbie,” a surprise contender, alongside strong entries from established directors. Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers,” Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” (shut out from all categories), and Yorgos Lanthimos’ unconventional “Poor Things” all fell short in the race for Best Picture.
