Nolan Encourages Oppenheimer Enthusiasts to Secure the Disc and Safeguard it Against Unauthorized Streaming
Oppenheimer's highly anticipated release on Blu-ray and digital platforms on Nov 21 is a must-have for fans, as visionary director Nolan urges them to secure the physical disc to protect this masterpiece from potential streaming pitfalls
Christopher Nolan, a strong advocate for the theatrical experience, has stressed the importance of having a physical copy of his latest film, Oppenheimer. During a Los Angeles screening, the director spoke out against streaming services and encouraged moviegoers to purchase the Blu-ray version, highlighting the meticulous effort put into preserving the film's soundscape.
"Oppenheimer has been a significant project for us, and now it's time for me to release a home version of the film. I've put in months of hard work on it," Nolan commented. "While I am known for my love of theatrical releases and have dedicated my life to that format, the truth is, the way the film is experienced at home is equally important."
Nolan explained that "The Dark Knight" was one of the first films to receive special formatting for its Blu-ray release due to it being a new platform at the time. He also mentioned the attention to detail and care that went into the Blu-ray version of "Oppenheimer," emphasizing the importance of owning a physical copy to avoid the risk of it being removed from a streaming service. Nolan's remarks likely stem from concerns over the unreliability of streaming platforms and the increasing trend of media being removed without warning.
Oppenheimer is set to be released on Blu-ray and other digital platforms on Nov. 21. In our review roundup of Oppenheimer from July, the film received a high rating of 90 on Metacritic, based on 47 critic reviews on Our Website sister site.
