A fan-made Oppenheimer featurette imagines Christopher Nolan dropping a real nuke for the movie. The upcoming biographical film tells the story of the titular theoretical physicist who spearheaded the Manhattan Project and is credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Because of Nolan's tendencies as a filmmaker, fans began joking about him going to the extreme of detonating an actual nuclear bomb to attain the perfect shot for Oppenheimer. Now, a fan-made featurette for the film imagines him doing just that.
In addition to recreating the first nuclear bomb blast without CGI, Nolan shooting large portions of Oppenheimer in black-and-white is also a historical feat. The director previously utilized black-and-white on his first two films, Following and Memento, but Oppenheimer was the first time in history a large-format film was shot in monochrome. The feat required a new type of IMAX film to be developed just so Nolan could shoot portions of Oppenheimer in black-and-white.
Nolan recreating a nuclear explosion without CGI should give Oppenheimer a certain rawness and resounding impact for audiences. Like with Memento, Oppenheimer's use of both black-and-white and color is expected to differentiate between two separate timelines, past and present. Nolan has frequently used practical effects and black-and-white throughout his career, and he is bringing both trademarks back in full force for his upcoming film.
