L to R: Dylan Arnold is Frank Oppenheimer and Matt Damon is Leslie Groves in Oppenheimer, written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. At first glance, it would have seemed like Oppenheimer wouldn’t exactly be blockbuster movie material. Yes, J. Robert Oppenheimer’s name is in the history books, but he was far from being a household name to today’s moviegoing audience. So, what turned Oppenheimer’s story into one of the year’s biggest movies? Matt Damon gives most of the credit to Christopher Nolan, who both wrote the screenplay and directed the movie, because of his skill in turning complex ideas into scenes everybody can understand.

Dylan Arnold had to learn some physics for his role in 'Oppenheimer'.The 29-year-old actor stars in Christopher Nolan's film as Frank Oppenheimer - the younger brother of Cillian Murphy's main character J. Robert Oppenheimer – and wanted a basic understanding of the science behind the creation of the atomic bomb.Dylan told The Hollywood Reporter: "I wanted to have somewhat of an understanding. It still baffles me the way the Oppenheimers' minds work, and it would've been a fool's errand to try to really understand everything on the physics side."So I had a general knowledge of it, but what you want to do as an actor is tap into the human element and figure out how this guy feels about all this. And then tap into that passion and that drive, and go from there."The 'Halloween Kills' star continued: "Fortunately, I don't have to teach any physics classes,...

Dylan Arnold would’ve been content with merely a callback from Christopher Nolan, but he got that and so much more by way of the acclaimed filmmaker’s latest film, Oppenheimer.
In Nolan’s most well-received film since 2008’s The Dark Knight, Arnold plays J. Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) younger brother, Frank, who was a brilliant physicist in his own right. But as dramatized in the film, Frank’s one-time involvement with the American Communist Party caused a number of obstacles for Robert before, during and after the Manhattan Project.

Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" is finally here, providing a unique look into the mind of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. But if Nolan's three-hour epic leaves you wanting more, here's a cool (and free) opportunity to learn some more about that period of history. The Criterion Channel has announced that from now through July 31, 2023, subscribers and non-subscribers alike will be able to watch Jon Else's 1981 documentary "The Day After Trinity" for free on the streaming service. The film, which was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Peabody Award, tells the scientist's story through archival footage and a myriad of interviews with collaborators, friends, and family members, and it's currently unavailable to stream anywhere in the United States except The Criterion Channel.
