Oppenheimer | The Score

Oppenheimer - In Theaters Friday

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.

The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.

Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.

The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).

The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.

Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.

Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations.

Who would've guessed that Hans Zimmer doing Dune would lead to Ludwig Göransson delivering some of his best work. Cannot wait to hear the whole score.

[OrionInSpace]

Listening to Ludwig Göransson's score from the very first trailer for the film and then the "Opening Look" video from the other day is when I realized we were in for a truly incredible score. One for a lifetime. It may not be Hans Zimmer for Interstellar but it's one that deserves to be recognized!🙏

[anshshah]

I know Ludwig is gonna hit the bullseye here. His score in tenet during the truck heist is one of the best scores I have ever heard in my life.

[nickloschen]

Even though Hans Zimmer's scores for The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, and Interstellar will always be iconic. Ludwig Göransson is a great addition to Team Nolan.

[soawll]

when i read hans zimmer hadn't made the score, i was quite skeptical... until i heard what an absolute BLAST this score is! sent shivers down my spine! absolutely brilliant.

[Theslim]

Another masterpiece of a score by Ludwig. Tenet, Creed, Black Panther, and now Oppenheimer. I saw it in IMAX yesterday and the score was absolutely mindblowing.

[pablogutierrez]

1:18 gave me real chills. I think Oppenheimer´s score is going to be one of the best.

[hokiegalfromswva]

It was the first time I walked out of a movie thinking, "holy moly, that score was PERFECT." It added so much depth and importance to the movie. Well done.

[Rdebo_]

I can't imagine anyone else playing Julius Robert Oppenheimer other than Cillian Murphy. It's a perfect combination!

[shine-uyfq]

I just finished watching Oppenheimer and the amount of TENSION!!! Ludwig really enhanced the feelings the characters were feeling

[liamn.]

Christopher Nolan always delivers the best scores, whether thats from Hans Zimmer or Ludwig. The music is already making this movie more and more emotional and intense. And I can’t wait to see all the pieces put together this weekend!

[space_]

I still listen to the Tenet score from time to time, can't wait for his next work!

[Prithviiii]

This is why i appreciate Christopher Nolan so much, the attention to detail about every single aspect of the film is so crucial to him and it shows each and every time with almost all of his projects. And it is such a treat to watch his films, I CANT WAIT FOR OPPENHEIMER

[davidkent]

The little I've heard of the score sounds amazing and can stand on its own but I think the music and the movie combined will be an amazing experience.

[gnir]

I listen to Tenet soundtrack daily. Love this guy’s musical expression.

[houselik]

Hats off to Ludwig Göransson for making this intense & beautiful score throughout this movie since Tenet. Even Hans Zimmer would be also remembered for making iconic scores in The Dark Knight Trilogy, Dunkirk, Inception and Interstellar. Great addition.

[ParasMundi]

I don't remember a moment where I did not have goosebumps listening to the score in IMAX. its a perfect match for the movie, and the story itself, and to Oppi too, a chaotic yet beautiful masterpiece that is remarkable to the ears, but a gift when you truly understand and appreciate the significance of it. Truly amazing

[cristobaltaiba]

Black Panther, Mandalorian, Creed, Tenet, Boba Fett, Wakanda Forever, and now Oppenheimer, All those great themes and more, and there are still people who don't consider him the best composer of recent years?
