Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has a new movie on the anvil, focusing on American theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer who helped develop the atomic bomb during World War II. According to The Hollywood Reporter, major Hollywood studios are vying for Nolan`s new movie, which isn`t being automatically set up at Warner Bros.
The filmmaker and his representatives have been in talks with studios, which include Sony, Universal and Paramount. Warner Bros, which backed Nolan`s all of past work starting with 2002`s "Insomnia", is also in discussions for the project. Relations between Nolan and Warner Bros had soured last year after the filmmaker expressed dissatisfaction with the studio for moving its 2021 slate to a day-and-date theatrical and HBO Max streaming release.
