Christopher Nolan: His Next Movie Will Be Massively Long – We’ve Learned How Long Oppenheimer Will Be
From a statement by Matt Damon
The famous Hollywood actor, Matt Damon, has just confirmed that the upcoming historical drama Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan will keep us for several hours in the dark rooms!
In particular, Damon, who co-stars alongside Cillian Murphy, told Variety that he has seen the beloved director’s film and even praised Murphy’s performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. So how long will Oppenheimer last, the new project of the beloved director of Interstellar, Inception, Tenet, Dunkirk and the Dark Knight trilogy? 3 hours!
In more detail, Damon emphasized:
It’s three hours. It’s fantastic. Cillian is amazing. It’s everything you want it to be. I think it’s almost three hours, which goes by so fast, it’s great.
In case you don’t know, Oppenheimer tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Peaky Blinders’ Cillian Murphy. He is the American theoretical physicist who is considered the “father of the atomic bomb” for his role in the Manhattan Project – the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons.
Let us remind you that for the production of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan outdid himself and staged a normal nuclear bomb explosion without the use of CGI (special effects)!
The Oppenheimer Story:
Robert Oppenheimer was the head of the “Manhattan Project” which led to the creation of the atomic bomb, the deadliest weapon in human history, which was to change the course of history. He himself carried this moniker like a curse and regretted being involved in the creation of such a disastrous invention.
