Breaking News: Surprising Rating Revealed for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated biopic, Oppenheimer, has received an unexpected rating as confirmed by a newly released TV spot from Universal Pictures
The upcoming film Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, has received an official rating that has been confirmed through a new TV spot released by Universal Pictures. This rating has come as a surprise to fans of Nolan, as it marks the first time since 2002's Insomnia that one of his films has received such classification.
Starring Cillian Murphy as the titular character, Oppenheimer is a biographical drama that explores the life and work of the renowned theoretical physicist who is widely recognized as the father of the atomic bomb. The film delves into Oppenheimer's involvement in the Manhattan Project, which ultimately led to the creation of the first nuclear weapons. However, Murphy has hinted that Nolan's take on Oppenheimer will be different from what audiences might expect, and the newly announced MPAA rating may offer some insight into why.
Universal has unveiled a new TV spot for Oppenheimer, Nolan's highly anticipated upcoming film, confirming that it will be rated R due to "Some sexuality, nudity, and language." This marks a departure from Nolan's recent films, which have all been rated PG-13. In addition to its R rating, audiences can also expect a lengthy runtime, as Nolan has revealed that Oppenheimer will be the longest film of his career, clocking in at just under three hours. With Tenet receiving mixed reviews and struggling at the box office due to the pandemic, many are eagerly anticipating Oppenheimer as a chance for Nolan to deliver another cinematic masterpiece.
Oppenheimer will have stiff competition from Margot Robbie's upcoming Barbie movie. Despite the fact that the two films may not seem to share the same audience, fans of all kinds are eagerly anticipating the beloved doll's first-ever live-action feature film. The hype surrounding Barbie is further amplified by the involvement of renowned director Greta Gerwig, who has already established herself as a talented filmmaker with hits like Lady Bird and 2019's Little Women. However, based on the buzz online, many moviegoers are planning to catch both Oppenheimer and Barbie during their opening weekends. While only one can come out on top at the box office, it is clear that July will be an exciting month for movie fans.
Oppenheimer is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 21, 2023.
