When Christopher Nolan Knew Cillian Murphy Could Play 'Oppenheimer'
Christopher Nolan, the writer and director of 'Inception,' 'Interstellar,' and now 'Oppenheimer,' often investigates the fertile territory between science and art, technology and dreams, so IMDb asks the auteur if he sees himself as more of an artist or a scientist while on set. Nolan also reveals his process for writing without imaging certain actors in their roles and when he recognized the striking resemblance between his longtime collaborator Cillian Murphy and the director of Manhattan Project director J. Robert Oppenheimer. Lastly, Nolan breaks down what that reference to Oppenheimer in his previous film 'Tenet' means to him and why he included it. This interview was recorded before the SAG-AFTRA strike.
