Been paying attention to this one for some time now. The trailer is starting to show up:

This one ticks a lot of boxes for me. Of course there's the subject material: the Manhattan project and the Trinity test site, where a nuclear bomb was first detonated. Then there's the director, Christopher Nolan, arguably one of the best around for this kind of movie. And then the lead of Cillian Murphy, who is an excellent actor.
I hope the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and this one lives up to expectations. Out this summer. I will catch it in the theater for sure.

Thanks for that alert. I will definitely watch on the big screen.
And all the calculations were done with slide rules. There were giants that drove the Manhattan Project:
American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer headed the project to develop the atomic bomb, and Edward Teller was among the first recruited for the project. Leo Szilard and Enrico Fermi built the first nuclear reactor. Ernest Orlando Lawrence was program chief in charge of the development of the electromagnetic process of separating uranium-235. Other notable researchers included Otto Frisch, Niels Bohr, Felix Bloch, James Franck, Emilio Segrè, Klaus Fuchs, Hans Bethe, and John von Neumann. The person who oversaw the project, however, was not a scientist. He was Brig. Gen. Leslie R. Groves.

I'll catch it for sure.For anyone not already aware of much about the Manhattan Project and the folks involved there was a great book by Richard Rhodes I read a few decades ago titled "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" that is well worth a read for anyone interested in the subject.

I have several books with pics of Oppenheimer (skinny, slight dude in a pinstripe suit and white fedora) and Groves (in his tan fatigues and equitorial belt).lousubcap said:The person who oversaw the project, however, was not a scientist. He was Brig. Gen. Leslie R. Groves.
Heh. My last year at the Directorate of Nuclear Surety in Albuquerque saw the installation of a new Commander to the US Safety Center (our parent org, in California), a three-star who only had a bachelor's degree... in Physical Education (he was a gym major)! We learned thru the grapevine he absolutely hated his new assignment, and got really nasty to everyone around him, left work at 1500, etc.
On his first visit to DNS, my own Commander scheduled a Dining-In, and guess who got nominated as Mr. Vice? fml.
We were all on pins and needles, but ultimately it went sorta smoothly. I'll never forget that night.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

Yep. I read that when it came out.

In keeping with helping future plans:
Release. Oppenheimer premiered at Le Grand Rex in Paris on July 11, 2023. It is scheduled to be released theatrically on July 21, 2023, by Universal Pictures.

Just got back from seeing the movie. Overall I thought it was very well done with the exception of when they quoted the Bhagavad Vita - I thought was in particularly poor taste.MMBGE / Large BGE / XL BGE (Craigslist Find) / SF30x80 cabinet trailer - "Ol' Mortimer" / Outdoor kitchen in progress.

Just returned from seeing Oppenheimer (every day is Saturday here except when it isn't...). The theater parking lot and theater itself were representative of what I have always figured a work day escape should be, not crowded at all.(Side bar-any extremely infrequent (may 2 times a year) trip to a mall mid week leads to a sustained search at some distance from any entrance. Shopping wins!)Christopher Dolan had quite a story to tell and weave together many different aspects of Oppenheimer's life. I thought he did a fine job of bringing such a complex and complicated life to the screen. I was familiar with the key players but the general audience could have benefited from a brief screen blurb.It was three hours and change well spent but I would not queue up to see it again. All above just an opinion and we all know what those are worth.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Saw it tonight. I’ll be sitting with that one for a while. And I think I’m going to have to read the book as well."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Understand all. He was the appropriate focus but the movie's knock-on effect has been interesting to see and read in the MSM. We do not need to relitigate July/August 1945 from my perspective.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer!

Gen. Leslie Groves sure could pull off a perfect camel toe despite (presumably) having the wrong equipment…JohnInCarolina said:
