Christopher Nolan’sOppenheimerwas an astounding success last year in the box office and this year during the awards season. The story was gripping, with some absolutely brilliant performances, and an equally fitting director who left no stone unturned to make a cinematic masterpiece.
World War movies are sometimes a hit and miss, but this one completely knocked it out of the park.Oppenheimerwas praised for its story, as well as execution, and has been a fan favorite for a while. And it looks like we will have another World War II drama in our hands soon.
NurembergIs aOppenheimerandMan of SteelCrossover
Director James Vanderbilt is bringing the story of the Nuremberg trials to life, with a brilliant cast attached to the project. The movie is based on yet another book, this one beingThe Nazi and the Psychiatrist, Nurembergby Jack El-Hai. The psychatrist in question is U.S. military psychiatrist, Lt. Colonel Douglas Kelley, who is given the job to figure out if the Nazi prisoners are mentally fit to stand trial for their war crimes against their enemies during World War II.

“I read his book proposal, which was about the relationship between Kelley and Göring… As soon as I read about the relationship between these two men, I was really attracted to the idea of telling a personal story between them and how they collided at this crossroads in history.”
