Although Christopher Nolan hasn't officially confirmed the run time of his new film Oppenheimer, he teases that it breaks a personal record.
Oppenheimer's record-breaking run time has been teased by director Christopher Nolan. The film, which is his first film since 2020's Tenet, is his second film to be set during the events of World War II . Oppenheimer is a biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer , the theoretical physicist who was instrumental in the Manhattan Project's development of the atomic bomb.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In their new issue, Total Film sat down with Nolan to discuss his new film ahead of the Oppenheimer release date on July 21. During their conversation Nolan wouldn't share the film's exact run time, but he confirmed that it is the longest film he has ever directed, ahead of 2014's Interstellar at 2 hours and 49 minutes. He further teased that Oppenheimer is "kissing three hours.
However, there are several reasons why the film might have such a long run time. The first is the Oppenheimer cast, which is jam-packed with huge stars and important character actors. In addition to Murphy, the film's massive ensemble cast includes Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Josh Hartnett, Dylan Arnold, Jack Quaid, Kenneth Branagh, Alden Ehrenreich, and over a dozen more recognizable names.
In order to give each of those talented actors their due, Oppenheimer will have to devote a lot of time just to establishing them properly in the story. The Oppenheimer trailer has also teased that, in spite of its more realistic setting, the film will be as tense and powerful as any of Nolan's more sci-fi-driven epics. That's a lot of material to pack into one film, which may account for this unprecedented three-hour cut.
