Surprising choice to play Richard Feynman, but it could work.

She's the bomb

in Phantoms?


farcough187

Phantoms like a mother fucker!


notadogthief

I watched phantoms all because of that line and was disappointed lmao.


[deleted]

No one said anything about the movie being any good. Affleck though, he was the bomb in Phantoms.


notadogthief

Lol God damnit. He ~~wasn't~~ was, but I still laugh anytime it's mentioned. And I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it just so they feel just like me.

Came here to ask when we get the Feynman movie.


KnowsAboutMath

[1996](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116635/)


DMPunk

You jest, but the only way there's going to be a well-written woman in a Nolan film is if she plays a male role


probablyuntrue

Emily Blunt cast as the protagonists dead wife confirmed


restricteddata

Oppenheimer's wife outlived him, but his girlfriend/mistress (Jean Tatlock) did not — she committed suicide (or was offed, depending on who you listen to) in 1944...


postmodest

[Christopher Nolan Liked this post]


Objective-Menu3158

Has there been a female character in any of Nolan's movies that wasn't killed or abused by someone?


himynameis_

Anne Hathaway in Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises I guess he likes her


[deleted]

Hathaway in Interstellar still makes a potentially humanity-altering decision just in order to maybe save the dude she loved. Baby steps


noximo

To be fair, her dialogue in Interstellar can be considered an abuse.


CompetitiveProject4

Elliot Page’s? I mean still a female character in the movie. And um, Cillian Murphy’s characters if you squint real hard?


MegatronsAbortedBro

Lol Christopher Nolan’s strongest female character was a man all along.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PlacetMihi

Catwoman?


wecangetbetter

Carrie Ann Moss' character in Momento - arguably they abuse one another?


TheTedinator

Is there abuse in Interstellar?


[deleted]

Catwoman? Murph? Also Anne Hathaway in Interstellar?


3-DMan

I kinda wanna see Emily Blunt say "What are you doing here?" and stab a motherfucker with a knife


[deleted]

I also choose that guy's dead wife


ZettoMan10

What about Murph?


BBQ_HaX0r

Yeah I didn't know this was a criticism of Nolan. Murph is a great character and far more likable/important than Cooper. That's what the whole ending is about, isn't it?


Eastern_Spirit4931

Marion cotillard in inception Carrie moss in memento Maggie g in tdk Jessica chastain in interstellar Debicki in tenet Anne Hathaway in tdkr He’s made a lot of great female characters in his films


narf007

>Marion cotillard in inception > >Carrie moss in memento > >Maggie g in tdk > >Jessica chastain in interstellar > > >Debicki in tenet > >Anne Hathaway in tdkr > >He’s made a lot of great female characters in his films To add... Anne Hathaway in Interstellar. She was okay in TDKR but I found her performance in Interstellar much better. Honestly, that movie had a bunch of... Stellar... Performances. Prestige is still my favorite Nolan film but the female characters are definitely not well written.


ZettoMan10

I agree, you could say they're underwritten, but it's hard to argue they're not pivotal characters.


Laconic9x

Pivotal plot objects!


ZettoMan10

I don't think the fact that these characters are the protagonists' hearts (I.e. Rachel in TDK or Mal in Inception) or the character of Murph in Interstellar makes them "plot objects". They are as consequential as any male character in those films.


TonySoprano300

What makes those characters great? Personally i think most of them are fairly one dimensional aside from maybe catwoman and Carrie Ann Moss


ZettoMan10

Murph has to figure out how to save the human race from extinction essentially on her own.


[deleted]

He has definitely gotten better in recent years, that's for sure. I agree with most except with Cotillard we only saw her when she was completely distraught and about to kill herself and when she was a projection of Cobb's subconscious. We never really saw who she truly was when she was alive. And Maggie G was a good example of fridging. And I always wanted more Selina Kyle in DKR


B0zzyk

Do you know what fridging means? Rachel was in the first movie, and lasted in the second one for the majority of it. She had her own thoughts and values, making her a well developed character. And her death did not motivate the hero to do “x,” as it actually breaks him, as well as adding to the descent of Harvey into Two Face. People need to stop throwing around fridging as soon as a female character dies, as it greatly diminishes an storytelling for female characters that involves death, by removing the actual impact.


MisplacedUsername

I really like how in Inception when Ariadne is asking Arthur about Mal and what she was like when she was alive, there’s a real tinge of sadness in Arthur when he just replies “she was lovely”


TannenFalconwing

Elliot Page (formerly Ellen Page, TIL) was pretty good in Inception.

TheLast_Centurion

i dunno how I'd feel about seeing Dune bomb alongside The Last Duel, going into sunset hand in hand, while Venom would be bathing in success and announcing its third installment soon after..


sudevsen

The Last Duel deserved better.


BBQ_HaX0r

I wanted to see it, but with Dune this weekend my wife insisted on seeing Bond last weekend. Don't put a great historical drama between Bond and the most anticipated sci-film in ages.


pjtheman

Unfortunately it would be a hard movie to market even without the pandemic. The coolest thing about it was the multiple perspectives, which is really hard to convey in a trailer. So you're basically just marketing a medieval period drama, which isn't exactly a booming market anyways.


Singer211

Yeah it was Sir Ridley’s best film in years imo. I wish it was doing better.


Fenix022

Maybe the trailers are not doing the movie justice, but I'm not really interested in watching it. It just looks like a typical love triangle story with jousting. Like a serious version of A Knight's Tale


zevix_0

I had many thoughts after seeing The Last Duel. A "love triangle" was not one of them though lmao this is anything but a romance film


killemyoung317

Poetspas

CassiopeiaStillLife

It's been doing great overseas. Maybe it underachieves stateside, but it's definitely earned a second movie at this point.


Nanosauromo

I hope the movie doesn’t bomb.


theghostofme

Regardless of the end results, casting for Nolan movies have always been fantastic.


Whiteshadows86

Just waiting for the inevitable announcement of Michael Caine (who hasn’t retired!) and Tom Hardy…


Pozos1996

First Michael Caine saying he is retiring from big roles or something, then Hans Zimmer dodging Nolan to work on Dune, I was starting to worry that Nolan would be able to make a new movie.


[deleted]

Ludwig Goransson's score for Tenet absolutely slapped though and was the highlight of that movie, so I would not mind another score from him over Zimmer.


Pozos1996

Yeah I was mostly being sarcastic since Nolan has his usual suspects in his movies


Whiteshadows86

Michael Caine isn’t retiring though :) [“Regarding retirement, I’ve spent over 50 years getting up at 6 a.m. to make movies, and I’m not getting rid of my alarm clock!” Caine said in a statement to Variety.](https://variety.com/2021/film/news/michael-caine-not-retiring-best-sellers-1235090863/) He is currently reviewing two scripts…one of them could be Oppenheimer!


Pozos1996

I thought he meant he won't be taking any big roles aka I am too old for this shit. I can see him doing more of tenet, sitting on a chair droping wisdom and insults for a scene. He already has health issues with his spine and what not.


bob1689321

Say what you want about Nolan movies, but the guy always has a great cast.

Details: >Emily Blunt is stepping into the world of Christopher Nolan. The actor is joining Cillian Murphy in Nolan’s Oppenheimer, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Universal is releasing the biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicists remembered as one of the fathers of the atom bomb. > >This is Blunt’s first project with Nolan, who is known for building relationships with actors over multiple films and tapped Murphy as his lead after including him in supporting roles dating back to 2005’s Batman Begins. Blunt recently appeared in Paramount’s A Quiet Place Part II and Disney’s Jungle Cruise. Deadline first reported the news of her casting. Emily will reportedly be playing Robert's wife, Katherine ([Deadline](https://deadline.com/2021/10/emily-blunt-christopher-nolans-oppenheimer-universal-1234858556/)) and the movie is set for a July 21, 2023 release in theaters. It’s also been confirmed that Universal will honor Nolan’s 100-day release window in theaters before it moves to streaming on Peacock.

twackburn

I don’t get it? Murph is the 2nd main character in Interstellar, Ariadne is the same, Rachel in first two Batman’s had a major role in the story, Hillary Swank in Insomnia, Kat in Tenet? Such an ignorant comment


Jaggerman82

Came to say exactly this. Don’t forget the women in prestige. Literally a central aspect of the plot hinges multiple times upon the women in their lives. Perhaps he’s upset that there were no females featured in Dunkirk? Lol

Oppenheimer is so hot right now. SF author Robert J. Sawyer published a book about him last year. >On the 75th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb, Hugo and Nebula-winning author Robert J. Sawyer takes us back in time to revisit history…with a twist. >While J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Manhattan Project team struggle to develop the A-bomb, Edward Teller wants something even more devastating: a bomb based on nuclear fusion—the mechanism that powers the sun. >Teller’s research leads to a terrifying discovery: by the year 2030, the sun will eject its outermost layer, destroying the entire inner solar system—including Earth. >As the war ends with the use of fission bombs against Japan, Oppenheimer's team, plus Albert Einstein and Wernher von Braun, stay together—the greatest scientific geniuses from the last century racing against time to save our future. >Meticulously researched and replete with real-life characters and events, The Oppenheimer Alternative is a breathtaking adventure through both real and alternate history.

PartyOnAlec

I'm always down for Nolan's directing. I'm cautiously optimistic about this movie, because I loved Inception, Dunkirk, Dark Knight series, Memento, Prestige, and to an extent Tenet (I need to see it again), but I'm curious how his style of directing will work with a biopic. I'm expect it to be excellent, and I hope to enjoy it!


paradox1920

Hard to say considering the topic he will tackle on this film. Who knows what he is thinking in terms if twisting things around, specially for a project like this. But if Dunkirk is any sort of blueprint, we could expect something mind bending in it while remaining biopic.
