In addition to directing, Nolan wrote the screenplay for the feature film, an adaptation of the book “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Published in 2005, the book won the Pulitzer Prize.
The plot revolves around the creation of the atomic bomb in the United States, with Murphy as scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who spearheaded the project, and Blunt as his wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. The two actors recently worked together on “A Quiet Place – Part II”.
“Oppenheimer” will also be Nolan’s first feature film produced by Universal Pictures, following the director’s 20-year partnership with Warner Bros.

The first is scheduled for July 20 in Brazil, close to the date marking the anniversary of the explosion of the bombs over Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945).
