Time to see that star cast in action!Fortunately, Nolan does not immediately give away all the action, although anumber of things stand out. For example, the first released images wereentirely in black and white, but that does not apply to this trailer. Thefilmmaker combines both styles. The preliminary conclusion you can draw isjust that flashbacks are shown in black and white.
The teasing has started
It is also fascinating that Nolan also for Oppenheimer as much as possiblewith practical effects wants to work. Even when it comes to recreatingnuclear explosions. The nuclear test is barely visible in the trailer, but wedo get a very brief preview of the groundbreaking explosion. The _real deal_we will undoubtedly not see until the final film, a climax that Nolan can worktowards with his story.
