<p>The superhero genre is loved dearly mainly because it makes the viewers in something bigger than themselves. The larger-than-life characters move the audience while making them feel all their emotions intensely. However, the genre&#8217;s decline is raising many concerns in the industry. Meanwhile, the <em>Oppenheimer</em> cinematographer, Hoyte van Hoytema, voiced his thoughts about it.</p>
<p>Hoyte van Hoytema is an Academy Award-nominated well-known artist. He is famous for his collaborations with Christopher Nolan in <em>Interstellar, Dunkirk, Tenet</em>, and now, <em>Oppenheimer</em>. Recently, this Dutch cinematographer spoke about the superhero genre running dry.</p>
<h2>The Oppenheimer cinematographer voiced his thoughts about the superhero genre</h2>
<p>Josh Horowitz had a conversation with the 51-year-old cinematographer to discuss Christopher Nolan&#8217;s recent blockbuster and more. During their conversation, Horowitz asked the artist if he could see any more creativity left in the superhero genre. Hoyte van Hoytema admitted the genre running dry. However, he also sounded optimistic about the future of the genre as well. <strong>Hoytema revealed someone might come up with a creative take on something and could blow new life into the whole thing</strong>.</p>

<p>Hoytema also believed creativity always came from an individual who had his own unique take on the available material. Therefore, <strong>he would not like to stay away from a genre just because it was running dry</strong>. The cinematographer also remembered the previous year when there were a lot of superhero films. Thus, it was his view that the ground might run dry from the business model perspective until the next visionary would come up with a unique perspective.</p>

<p>The visionary artist also talked about how the cinematographers should choose their work. To make his point, Hoytema gave an example of a boy meeting a girl and they would fall in love. Although it is the oldest idea in the history of cinema, there have been powerful and interesting movies about the same. Therefore, as a cinematographer, he also preferred to work with those who had their own unique visions.</p>
<h2>Hoyte van Hoytema&#8217;s work with some great visionary directors</h2>
<p>The Dutch cinematographer has worked with Christopher Nolan on various blockbuster projects. Additionally, <strong>he has also worked with Spike Jonze in <em>Her</em>, Sam Mendes in <em>Spectre</em>, and David O. Russell in<em> The Fighter,</em> including many others</strong>. Hoytema has also received three BAFTA Award nominations for Best Cinematography.</p>

<p>His recent work, <em>Oppenheimer</em>, shook the audience to their core. With a great story, stunning visuals, and a beautifully painful representation of the real story, <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-oppenheimer-2023-review-intense-well-acted-and-gripping-glimpse-into-the-american-prometheus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 2023 movie received widely positive reviews</a>. <strong>Even the family members of the lead character, Robert Oppenheimer, appreciated the work of the entire team</strong>.</p>
