Not quite the entire thing, but it's something (posting multiple versions as potential backups)…

This is finally a more plot-driven trailer, and it's obvious in hindsight (and in real life, obviously), but the race-against-the-Nazis ticking time bomb (no pun intended) makes more sense of the narrative now. Then inside of that, there's the convincing-the-powers-that-be, the assembling-of-the-team, the building-of-the-town, the planning, the trial-and-error, the execution, etc. For the first time, we really get a feel for the flow of the movie, and more than ever it's a movie I can't wait to see.

I saw the trailer last night at the movies and it looks incredible. Just amazing.

The new trailer indeed looks (and sounds) incredible in IMAX. You could just feel how riveted the audience was too. Man, that was so damn cool.

Again, if the previous trailer's release pattern from last December is any indication, hopefully this latest one will be online in the morning.

It's a shame they rarely let artists, legitimate artists that is, create movie posters anymore. I think Nolan is overrated and owes much of his success to van Hoytema, but he's not a bad director at all and Cillian Murphy is a draw, so I'll probably see this. That being said, I still think Nolan is going to butcher Oppenheimer's nuanced views.

Sure, it's not the best poster, but it's not terrible either. Also, Hoyte van Hoytema has only been with Nolan for Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet, and this. He wasn't Nolan's DP - and in fact wasn't involved with him in any way - from Insomnia to The Dark Knight Rises, when Nolan *actually* found "much of his success."

See I thought similarly until I saw Her, Ad Astra, and then Nope hammered the nail in the coffin last year. I really don't want to come off as a desperate contrarian, but I thought The Dark Knight was just mediocre after seeing it again two years ago. Obviously most everyone disagrees, and I'm not going to get too into it because I don't care about the greater genre all that much.

There's something intangible about Nolan that I find off-putting, but I've never been able to find words for it. The same goes for Carlitos Alcaraz (who's taking over men's tennis rn if you're unaware). It changes though! I don't watch much basketball anymore, but I used to loathe LeBron as a kid and now I actually kind of like him. Anyway, I hope this does well to be clear. I'll root for nearly anything that has a shot at getting audiences to move away rom the MCU, even if it's of an unrelated genre.

Still not available officially, but a really good, non-theater-cam version of the trailer has leaked. It's not quite 1080p, but is basically "official" quality...

Girl in HR at my company with the surname Oppenheimer. Said her dad said they are of distant relation.

So surely we will see a Nolan-esque time element.

Both timelines leading up to the explosion.

It took einstein to get fdr's attention to the bomb project. In fact, the letter sat for a year. We could have had the bomb in mid 44 otherwise.

I'm now wondering how much of this movie is going to end up taking place after the war.
TCTTS

Yeah, at first I thought it would be *just* the security hearing in the black and white timeline, to use a framing device of sorts, but now there looks to be black and white scenes outside of the hearing as well. Or at least in another room/part of the building, potentially between or after sessions.

Saw that trailer in front of Guardians.

I'm loving the attention to historical detail I'm seeing in those images. Cannot wait to see it.

What an absolutely wild take. I much prefer Nolan's work pre-Interstellar.

Good trailer, looking forward to it. But to be honest the biggest emotional reaction was wanting more Peaky Blinders.

Great trailer: Trailer has repeated ominous sounding suspense building noise similar to Dark on Netflix.

Wow, wasn't sure a trailer could be that good for the subject matter.

Kind of reminds me of the Chernobyl trailer.

Oh, and I guess Paul Giamatti wasn't able to win the audition....

Well that's a pretty huge disservice to all the kids under 13 who will be dying to see this...
