“I wanted to take the audience into that extraordinary moment in human history.”
We are weeks away from Oppenheimer and the anticipation is running very high. Led by Cillian Murphy, the movie is an insight into the life and works of the father of the atomic bomb. Fans are very excited to see Christopher Nolan’s recreation of the Trinity test given the movie used zero CGI shots. In a new featurette, the cast and director talk about recreating the moment which changed the world as we knew it.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “I’ve been interested in Oppenheimer’s story for a long time,” says Nolan. The movie is based on American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the biography written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Oppenheimer’s invention has been debated for a long time, as the scientist himself, lobbied for international control of nuclear power.
Oppenheimer’s Stacked Cast “Cillian playing Oppenheimer was the centerpiece of the film but I knew he was going to need the most extraordinary ensemble,” says Nolan who often cast the best people to take over a role. The movie casts Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer’s wife, Kitty Oppenheimer, Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. as Lewis Strauss, among others.
