Christopher Nolan: Last News

The friendship dynamic between Hollywood stars Matt Damon and Emily Blunt shines not only on the silver screen but also when cameras aren’t rolling. Damon, 52, and Blunt, 40, star in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated war drama "Oppenheimer" and told Fox News Digital what it’s like to also live in the same building. Blunt, who’s married to John Krasinski and has two daughters with the actor — Hazel, 9, and Violet, 6 — said "it’s the best" having "The Bourne Identity" star under the same roof.

Al Pacino is so good at his craft, you can blink and miss it.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Universal is hoping the possible SAG-AFTRA strike doesn’t get in the way of the London premiere of “Oppenheimer” on Thursday evening. Variety has learned the studio is rolling out the red carpet an hour earlier than originally planned — moving from 5:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. local time — with the hope that the 60 minutes will allow the cast, which includes stars like Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh, to pose for photos and participate in interviews without going against SAG-AFTRA strike rules. Though the negotiations deadline comes on midnight Wednesday, the SAG-AFTRA board would still have to meet on Thursday to vote and confirm the call for the strike. Universal execs believe such an event may not happen before the premiere takes place.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director As thousands of moviegoers gear up for double features of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” one person taking joy in the “Barbenheimer” craze is Nolan himself. Although his movie will be battling “Barbie” at the box office, Nolan recently told IGN that “it’s terrific” to have both summer tentpoles open on the same day. “Summer, in a healthy marketplace, is always crowded, and we’ve been doing this a long time,” Nolan said. “I think for those of us who care about movies, we’ve been really waiting to have a crowded marketplace again, and now it’s here and that’s terrific.” Cillian Murphy, who stars in the title role of “Oppenehimer,” agreed with Nolan, telling IGN: “I think it’s great. I mean, I’ll be going to see ‘Barbie.’ I can’t wait to see it. I think it’s just great for the industry and for audiences that we have two amazing films by amazing filmmakers coming out the same day. Could spend a whole day in the cinema, what’s better than that?”

Brent Lang Executive Editor Imax announced Wednesday that it plans to spend $124 million to get full ownership of Imax China. The subsidiary was listed on the Hong Kong exchange and was established in 2011 by Imax to oversee its business in Greater China, which has become a key market for the exhibition company. Imax creates wide-screen technology that enables theater owners to charge premium prices — it is also a favorite with big-budget filmmakers such as Christopher Nolan and Michael Bay, who use the company’s proprietary cameras to produce their movies. Since COVID, Hollywood films have struggled to attract the same level of business as they did pre-pandemic, but local-language titles such as “The Wandering Earth 2” and “Lost in the Stars” have been huge hits when they have screened in Imax.

Oppenheimer? Matt Damon brought three of his four daughters to the premiere of Christopher Nolan's latest flick, which is three hours long, partially black-and-white, and oh yeah, about the development of nuclear bombs. Not that young girls can't be interested in those things, but he didn't even take his kids to the premiere of We Bought a Zoo!For the Oppenheimer launch (bad pun but I'm not sorry) in Paris, Damon was joined by his daughters Stella, 12, Gia, 14, and Alexia, 24.

Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh clearly had a great time working together on Oppenheimer and they looked so excited to see each other at the film’s latest press tour stop!

Christopher Nolan has revealed that Al Pacino once turned down a directing note on set, insisting to the filmmaker that he’d “already done that”.The acclaimed director – who is preparing to release his new biopic Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy – recalled filming 2002 thriller Insomnia with Pacino.“I had gone up to Pacino after a series of takes and given him a note on what I wanted,” he told The Los Angeles Times.“He told me, ‘I’ve already done that. You can’t see it to the eye, but I’ve done it on the dailies.’ I looked for it and I was like, ‘Oh, my God,’ because there it was.”Nolan added: “Great film actors can do that, and that’s what I had with Cillian.”Elaborating on Murphy’s challenging role of playing J.

The first reactions to Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer have dropped following a world premiere in Paris. Following the nearly three-hour screening, critics are praising Cillian Murphy’s performance and calling the film “awe-inspiring,” “staggering” and a “spectacular achievement.”

Emily Blunt has revealed she’s taking a year off from acting.The actor appeared on iHeart podcast Table For Two with Bruce Bozzi, where she explained that she wanted to spend more time with her children over the next year.Blunt, who shares two daughters, Hazel and Violet, with husband John Krasinski, said: “This year, I’m not working.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Universal Pictures has finally unveiled Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic “Oppenheimer” at a world premiere event in Paris, France. First reactions to the nearly three-hour drama are pouring in and are strong across the board, with the film being called a “spectacular achievement” and “audacious.” Writing for The Los Angeles Times, former critic Kenneth Turan hailed “Oppenheimer” as “arguably Nolan’s most impressive work yet in the way it combines his acknowledged visual mastery with one of the deepest character dives in recent American cinema.” Matt Maytum, deputy editor of Total Film, said Nolan’s latest left him “stunned,” adding, “[It’s] a character study on the grandest scale, with a sublime central performance by Cillian Murphy. An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tension, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow.”

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent While Hollywood braces for an actors strike, the key cast of Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” — Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon — walked the red carpet at the Paris world premiere on Tuesday, but didn’t talk politics. Nolan, receiving rapturous applause as he walked into the theater, spoke onstage about his special bond with France and the 90-year old Grand Rex Theater, dating back to his 2000 film “Memento.” “When we made our first film ‘Memento,’ no one in the world would show this film,” Nolan said, until the Grand Rex Theater booked it. “Looking at the size of it I have no idea why, but people came and our lives changed and we love this theater,” added Nolan, who was surrounded by his cast and producers, including his wife Emma Thomas.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Tom Cruise’s mission, should he choose to accept it, is to save the summer box office… again. After a lackluster start to popcorn season (“The Flash,” “Indiana Jones” and “Elemental,” we’re looking at you), Paramount’s action-adventure “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” is hoping to bring people back to movie theaters across the globe. The big-budget tentpole is projected to collect at least $60 million between Friday and Sunday. Anything more than that would cement a new opening weekend benchmark for the long-running, globe-trotting spy series. “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” currently holds the record with $61 million, followed by 2000’s “Mission: Impossible II” with $57.8 million.

The highly anticipated movie Oppenheimer just had its world premiere in Paris!

Barbenheimer is coming.

ranging from T-shirts to mock-up movie posters to keep the excitement going.Other than the fact that both movies hit theaters on July 21, they have almost nothing in common.While there’s not much known about the plot or tone of “Barbie,” we do know that it contributed to a pink paint shortage, stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken, respectively, features other A-list stars and a big soundtrack, and that it’s inspired culture and fashion, dubbed “Barbiecore.”The movie’s IMDb page reads, “Barbie suffers a crisis that leads her to question her world and her existence,” suggesting that life in plastic might not be so fantastic.On the other hand, next to the movie’s bright and fun pink poster, there’s the black and dark poster for “Oppenheimer,” which is slightly more extreme of a movie.Nolan’s film is a feature documentary exploring the true story of how physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, developed the first atomic bomb.While these movies seem to be complete opposites of each other, moviegoers are genuinely excited about both and are using the same-day release as an excuse for an unexpected double feature.And, thus, Barbenheimer was born.BARBENHEIMER by @ThatTallGinger.

Downey told the New York Times. The Oscar nominated actor starred as Iron Man between 2008 and 2019, ultimately becoming the world’s top earning actor. It was a dramatic turn around for the formerly incarcerated actor, sentenced to three years in prison in 1999 for cocaine possession charges. He was granted an early release in 2000. ““You could just feel the evil in the air,” he said in another recent interview, referring to his time in prison.
