Universal is getting ready to release Christopher Nolan’s latest event film, Oppenheimer, and fans are pretty excited to see what the director has been cooking up. Oppenheimer is Nolan’s follow-up to Tenet, and it will star Cillian Murphy alongside an ensemble cast filled with heavy hitters like Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Emily Blunt. From everything we’ve seen in the trailers, Oppenheimer is definitely made for the big screen experience and is epic-looking in every way. Nolan is starting to do some early press for the film and has starred in a new TikTok video that has gone viral where he explains the importance of film and IMAX.
In the video, Nolan spends the day with the TikTok-er, showing him behind-the-scenes videos from Oppenheimer while explaining the importance of watching films in IMAX. Nolan also went on to explain why you should specifically watch Oppenheimer in IMAX and give him a sneak peek at the upcoming movie. You can check out the viral video below.
