Oppenheimer: Casey Affleck in the new Christopher Nolan movie

The Hollywood constellation participating in Christopher Nolan’s new film has just expanded with another significant name. In the Los Angeles-set Oppenheimer, vigilant photojournalists discover Oscar-winner Casey Affleck (“Manchester by the Sea”, “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”). The actor, who has already had the opportunity to work with the director on “Interstellar”, most likely plays the role of a military man.

‘Oppenheimer’ – What will Nolan’s new movie say?

The title character is physicist Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), who led the famous Manhattan Project during World War II. The purpose of the secret US government-funded program was to create the first fully functional, controlled nuclear weapon. Oppenheimer, who died in 1967, is sometimes referred to as the father of the atomic bomb.

The basis of the text, written by Nolan himself, is “The American Prometheus. The American Prometheus. The Triumph and Tragedy of Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bard and Martin J. Sherwin. He will be the permanent assistant cinematographer to the director, Hoyte Van Hoytem.
