Nolan’s Oppenheimer (Ludwig Göransson)

The TENET Guy
Ludwig Göransson is officially confirmed to be scoring Christopher Nolan’s next film, Oppenheimer. After the bombastic, innovative score he was able to create for his first collaboration with Nolan on TENET we’re definitely in for something special on this film as well.

The film is slated for a July 21st, 2023 release but given Nolan’s track record we can expect a teaser (that will likely feature the first glimpse of Göransson music for the film) sometime next year. Time to get excited!!

I wonder if it will sound anything like this

At this point who knows…?? Great music though!!

My guess is that this will lean more orchestral given the time period and subject matter, I’m very excited to hear what kind of motifs Ludwig can come up with to portray the atomic bomb, I know we’re in for something amazing with this one

Actually, I am too. I loved his Venom theme which was like Prokofiev amped up on steroids. It would be too obvious to do a Phil Glass minimalist thing... I'm curious what direction he will pursue.

Venom was the soundtrack that made me a Ludwig fan!! Some of the best synth work I’ve ever heard

Hmm wasn't expecting to like these cues, maybe because I've heard so many bad things about the movie but these tracks are pretty interesting.

Thank you for posting.

Of course!! And I actually love the first Venom movie, in all honesty it’s my second favorite Marvel movie after The Winter Soldier, if you don’t try to take it seriously you’ll have a great time with it, I just watched it yesterday and I still hold the same opinion
 
I’ve been trying to speculate as to what Ludwig will do for this film and if I had to make one my best guess would be a cross between these two cues from TENET, I’m sure it’ll be completely different and that’s what has me really excited, but this is what I imagine as of right now, I’d love for everyone else to give their best guesses as well


 
I'd be very surprised if he made anything similar to Tenet.

In part because a lot of the score was based on ideas from the film itself, like the palindrome melodies, backwards stuff, etc. But also because I think the Oppenheimer film will be closer in tone and style to Dunkirk. Less sci-fi more historical.

That is true but then again Dunkirk is a very electronic score, at first I thought the setting of the film would suggest a more orchestral approach but we have to keep in mind this is a Nolan film, so this surely won’t be a “WW2 biopic period piece drama” or whatever is expected of a film like this, the official description they give for the film is “an IMAX-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it” so it’s surely to not going to be as expected

Yeah definitely. Of course it's Nolan! I wouldn't expect something traditional either.
