Rami Malek says Nolan gave him a note asking him to “be more boring.”

Cue the jokes about whether or not we’ll be able to hear the dialogue...

I didn’t mind Tenet’s mix (though it’s certainly not Nolan’s best sound mix), and honestly, I’ve never had any real issue with hearing or understanding his dialogue. The only one I actively have a problem with is Interstellar, and yeah, the effects and Zim’s score are way too overpowering.

I don't have a problem with any of them tbh - I absolutely adore what Nolan does with the sound. It's quite literally mind-blowing

Tenet was the one time i felt the sound mix was bad. The rest of his films are perfectly alright as far as i'm concerned.

Interstellar and Tenet are the only two where there were times where I couldn't quite hear the dialogue.

There's only one scene where in Nolan's films where I have trouble with the dialogue and that's Caine's last scene in Interstellar.

These first look photos look great. I know Cillian's going to do an amazing job, but I'm hoping that the industry takes notice and finally gives him an Oscar nom.

Starting to think my theory might be correct lol: I have a theory for how Nolan will approach this movie, so I’m sticking it here in case it ends up playing out this way. Biopics are often known to be kind of stuffy, dry reenactments of history, but given that Nolan has a made a career of putting his own stamp on different genres, I’m assuming he has a vision for tinkering with the biopic format. The fact that it’s described as an “epic thriller” makes sense if the film is only focusing on the period of his life that deals with the race to build the atomic bomb, but it’s also intriguing that it will also apparently follow Oppenheimer’s later decision to call for more international control of nuclear weapons and his opposition to the hydrogen bomb. In my last post, I said that I could see most of the film playing out like a taut thriller, with the ending being a melancholic flashforward featuring Oppenheimer living in regret... but if Nolan is interested in the man’s contradictions and highlighting certain thematic ideas in the way that I believe he is, then I think a nonlinear narrative approach could potentially work to draw out those ideas powerfully. It’s easy to say “Nolan will probably do the nonlinear thing like he did with Dunkirk because that’s the gimmick that he frequently relies on,” so maybe it’s not that bold of a prediction, but I’ve never felt like Nolan’s narrative conceits were ever arbitrary – to me they always serve the story and act as tools that enhance the stories he’s telling, and in this case I actually think a nonlinear approach would be appropriately motivated here. After WWII, there was a security hearing held in 1954 that investigated Oppenheimer’s Communist ties because there was doubt about his loyalty and suspicion that he was a Soviet agent (it also focused on his opposition to the H-bomb and stances in later projects). The hearing resulted in Oppenheimer's security clearance being revoked, ending his role in the US government, and he became an academic exile. I could see Nolan structuring the whole film by cutting back and forth between two narrative strands showing the process of developing the bomb and the security hearing years later (sort of like how Godfather 2 cuts between young Vito and Michael’s senate hearings). This would not only sustain tension across the film (the race to end the war interwoven with the paranoia of McCarthyism), but would also strongly highlight the irony of Oppenheimer’s story – the heroism of ending the war contrasted with the later perception of him as a traitor and an outcast, and also the juxtaposition of victorious scientific innovation and later confronting the moral consequences of scientific progress. The film would then culminate with the dropping of the bomb cut together with Oppenheimer’s alienation and regret following the security hearing (contrasting the personal with a large-scale, world-altering event). Also, for some reason I keep picturing this film in black and white, which I think would be really cool to see in IMAX. With the way he’s always been pushing his use of IMAX (more handheld camera in Interstellar, strapping it to planes in Dunkirk, running film backwards in Tenet), I would expect him to keep looking for ways to experiment...

The IMAX exclusive trailer: drive.google.com/file/d/1pyPhhv8ZjQNk9Q9by7Xi1BZ_FusVR-9A/viewThis is the one that's apparently not going to be officially released online, but the regular trailer should drop pretty soon. The IMAX trailer pretty much confirms my theory that the film will cut back and forth between two narrative strands showing the process of developing the bomb (color) and the security hearing years later (black and white). So sort of like Better Call Saul.
