Trivia

Warner Bros. is not the producer of Oppenheimer

This is Christopher Nolan's first film not to be produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Oppenheimer will be released by Universal Pictures. Before this, all of Nolan's feature films were produced and distributed by Warner Bros. with the exceptions of Following (1998), which was produced independently, Memento (2000) which was produced and distributed by Newmarket Films, The Prestige (2006), which was co-produced and domestically distributed by Touchstone Pictures while Warner Bros. did international distribution, and Interstellar (2014) which was co-produced and domestically distributed by Paramount Pictures while Warner Bros. handled international distribution.

Charles Roven managed to intrigue Nolan

The film's producer Charles Roven pitched the film to the director Christopher Nolan and the producer Emma Thomas by telling them about the autobiographical book named "American Prometheus". Nolan was so intrigued by the story that decided to read it. After that, he took the job to direct the film.
