After over a year of anticipation, Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming sequel, giving viewers a glimpse of what's in store. Taking place in the year 1792, «Castlevania: Nocturne» focuses on the protagonist Richter Belmont, the sole surviving descendant of Trevor Belmont and Sypha, his beloved. The story revolves around Richter being enlisted by a Caribbean sorceress named Annette. Their mission is to combat a menacing new Vampire Messiah, who poses a grave threat to humanity by pushing the world into an everlasting night, all set amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. While the trailer doesn't reveal the return of Dracula or his half-human son Alucard, it showcases a plethora of dazzling combat sequences and formidable vampiric foes adorning masquerade masks and powdered wigs. The series will draw inspiration from events and characters introduced in the 1993 classic «Castlevania: Rondo of Blood» and the iconic «Castlevania: Symphony of the Night» from 1997. The animation will be handled by the Powerhouse Animation Studios, with directors Sam and Adam Deats returning to lead the creative team.

Oppenheimer’ has landed in yet another controversy. Did the scientist really want to poison the tutor he dislike, change his mind later and somehow save the man from dying? As the director and producer claim that the movie is based on the actual life and biography of the father of the atomic bomb, this question becomes important and demands an explanation. The film traces the life of Robert J Oppenheimer from his early days to becoming the father of the first atomic bomb and the time when he was accused of being anti-national and communist. The biopic ‘Oppenheimer’ shows a sequence in which Robert Oppenheimer injects poison into the apple of Patrick Blackett, a Cambridge University tutor, he hates. Later he changes his decision and prevents the tutor to eat the poisoned apple. But it is not clear if the theoretical physicist really wanted to kill the Cambridge University tutor. Christopher Nolan was inspired by ‘American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J Robert Oppenheimer’, written by Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin and this incident was described in the book. But talking to the 'Time’ magazine, the physicist’s grandson Charles Oppenheimer called it a ‘historical revision’. But ‘American Prometheus’ claims that Oppenheimer himself described this incident, but it is not clear if the incident has been exaggerated. Another point of contention in this controversy is the nature o the poison. The book suggests that a non-lethal poison might have been injected and not cyanide. Another book, ‘A Life Inside the Center’ written by Ray Monk also describes this incident. It also says that Oppenheimer’s intention might have been to make the tutor seriously sick.
