Los Angeles (AFP) - Kai Bird has just returned from the Jaipur literature festival, where he signed countless copies of his two-decade-old book for hundreds of young Indians who all watched the film "Oppenheimer." "American Prometheus," Bird's Pulitzer-winning biography of the father of the atomic bomb, was the basis for the $1 billion-grossing global smash hit movie that is tipped to dominate the Oscars on Sunday. "It's really an astonishing phenomenon," Bird told AFP. "I'm probably the luckiest biographer on the planet," he added. Christopher Nolan's drama was the fourth attempt to adapt Bir...

Los Alamos (United States) (AFP) - Christopher Nolan's $1 billion-grossing "Oppenheimer" hasn't just lined the pockets of Hollywood studio executives -- it has also brought an unexpected windfall to the secretive community of Los Alamos.

Abiquiu (United States) (AFP) - An entire town filled with nuclear laboratories, built from scratch in the remote mountains of New Mexico, with every single person involved sworn to secrecy?

"This is the most I've ever spoken about it," said David Manzanares, field producer for Ghost Ranch, as he took AFP on a recent tour of the location for the movie's Los Alamos scenes. "It definitely took on the air of secrecy," he recalled. A few mil...

White Sands (United States) (AFP) - Wesley Burris was fast asleep in bed when the world's first atomic bomb exploded just 25 miles from his front door. A blinding light filled the home in the New Mexico desert, before the impossible force of the blast shattered its windows, spraying glass across the four-year-old boy and his brother. "It was so bright, I couldn't see," Burris recalls. "I can remember asking, 'Dad, what happened? Did the Sun blow up?'" The events of 5:30 am on July 16, 1945 are now best known to millions from their dramatic re-enactment in the Oscar-tipped movie "Oppenheimer." ...

Washington (AFP) - Dolls in neon pink dreamhouses, scientists at Los Alamos, or both? "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" hit North American movie theaters on Friday, in what is expected to be among Hollywood's biggest weekends of the year -- inspiring a frenzy for the diametrically opposed films. But as fans of the iconic toy and history buffs interested in the father of the atomic bomb flocked to cinemas, actors and writers remained on strike, casting a pall over the outlook for the film industry. For now, both movies are off to strong starts with the cotton candy-hued "Barbie" bringing in $22.3 mill...

Washington (AFP) - An iconic doll ready to paint the world pink and the scientist who helped invent the atomic bomb -- an unlikely pair and apparently a match made in box office heaven. Millions of moviegoers are expected to dive into the very different worlds of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" as the two blockbusters premiere on Friday, with many planning to see both -- a five-hour feat -- the same day. More than 200,000 viewers across North America are projected to have already signed up for a "same-day double feature" of both movies this weekend, said Michael O'Leary, president of the National A...
