There’s nothing wrong with any movie being marketed and sold on the back of one aspect above all else, and in the case of Chris McKay’s Renfield, it was the promise of seeing the inimitable Nicolas Cage literally sinking his teeth into the role of Dracula. The casting was so inspired that it bordered on genius, and it’s not a surprise to discover upon watching the film that the Academy Award winner knocks it out of the park with a deliciously hammy turn that’s indebted to the classic portrayals of the iconic bloodsucker…

It sounds like the most straightforward thing in the world, but not every movie to be awarded a sequel ends up making money. In fact, several of them have gone down in the history books for ranking among the biggest box office bombs there’s ever been, so we’ll just have to wait and see if that Jungle Cruise follow-up really does end up happening. Of course, the pandemic was largely blamed for the theme park adaptation (which was first announced way back in 2004 in its earliest iteration) falling well short at the…

In 1945, Hollywood set in motion its first big-budget movie drama about the making and use of the atomic bomb. Almost immediately a competing project emerged (with a screenplay by Ayn Rand, no less). Yet for over seven decades, only two other major movie dramas about this epochal event emerged from a studio. Now that is changing with Friday’s arrival of Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated “Oppenheimer,” focusing on the famed lead scientist at Los Alamos who is sometimes called “the Father of the Atomic Bomb.” In the same…

Today when people are excited about the Oppenheimer movie and can only imagine J. Robert Oppenheimer as the ‘father of the atom bomb', very few people know that the astrophysicist also played a stellar role in other discoveries too. He conducted research on black holes even before they were discovered. He played a significant role in the discovery of black holes and described how the collapse of a massive star can lead to the formation of black holes. Prior to his work at Los Alamos, New Mexico, in 1942, Oppenheimer was…

Credit: Universal Robert Oppenheimer is often placed next to Albert Einstein as the 20th century's most famous physicist. He will forever be the "father of the atomic bomb" after the first nuclear weapon was successfully tested on July 16, 1945 in the New Mexican desert. The event brought to his mind words from a Hindu scripture:…

The wartime Soviet intelligence services had a codename for the Manhattan Project, the US’s plan to build an atom bomb: Enormoz. Christopher Nolan’s new film about it is absolutely Enormoz, maybe his biggest so far: a gigantic, post-detonation study, a PTSD narrative procedure filling the giant screen with a million agonised fragments that are the shattered dreams and memories of the project’s haunted, complex driving force, J Robert Oppenheimer, a brilliant physicist with the temperament of an artist who gave humanity…
