Christopher Nolan Agrees Oppenheimer is ‘Kind of a Horror Movie’

Director Christopher Nolan has agreed with the sentiment that his new movie Oppenheimer resembles a horror movie.

“Physicist J Robert Oppenheimer works with a team of scientists during the Manhattan Project, leading to the development of the atomic bomb,” reads the film’s official synopsis. This upcoming historical thriller is written and directed by Nolan, who has previously helmed films like The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar.

Nolan recently commented on what it’s like to watch his new movie. “It is an intense experience, because it’s an intense story,” he told Wired. “I showed it to a filmmaker recently who said it’s kind of a horror movie. I don’t disagree…as I started to finish the film, I started to feel this color that’s not in my other films, just darkness. It’s there. The film fights against that.”

What is the Oppenheimer release date?
