’s World War II film about J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb will be made by Universal Studios, marking the first time in several pictures that the director has not filmed a movie at Warner Bros.
The director had been talking to several studios in recent weeks about the possibility of backing his drama, which carries a $100 million budget. Sony and MGM Studios were also in the mix, and Nolan did have talks with Warner Bros., but the relationship with his former studio home had grown strained. The director was upset by Warner’s decision to release its entire 2021 slate concurrently on HBO Max and the studio was none to pleased with his public comments to that effect.
Filming on the Oppenheimer picture is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022. Nolan wrote the screenplay for the picture and top executives at the studios were allowed to read his script.
