Trivia

The cast of Oppenheimer

The cast includes five Oscar winners: Casey Affleck, Kenneth Branagh, Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Gary Oldman and also three Oscar nominees: Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh and Tom Conti.

Nolan's collaborations

This is the second and consecutive collaboration between Christopher Nolan and the composer Ludwig Göransson, after Tenet (2020). Hans Zimmer is another frequent collaborator with Nolan. This composer was not available because he was already committed on Dune (2021) and Dune (part two) (2023) at the time both Nolan films were being made.

Charles Roven managed to intrigue Nolan

The film's producer Charles Roven pitched the film to the director Christopher Nolan and the producer Emma Thomas by telling them about the autobiographical book named "American Prometheus". Nolan was so intrigued by the story that decided to read it. After that, he took the job to direct the film.
