Christopher Nolan & Physics: A Look at J. Robert Oppenheimer

[ergospherical]

Christopher Nolan really has an affinity for Physics! Here's a shot of Cillian Murphy (of Peaky Blinders fame) posing as the eminent physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The film is based on the biography "American Prometheus" and will depict Oppenheimer's contributions toward the development of an atomic bomb. I wonder who will play Richard Feynman?

Cant wait for another one of Nolan's masterpieces! The film also stars Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr.

Cillian Murphy fits the role perfectly!

Too bad Val Kilmer is out of action now...

 

[Oldman too]

An excellent Bio, loved it. Hope the film does it justice.

One month after the release, i bet that there will be posts on facebook with Oppenheimer photograph and the phrase "hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men and weak men create hard times" (generally posted by "old strong men" that are really worried about the way the others men dress themselves)
