Christopher Nolan says Quentin Tarantino’s approach to retirement is “very purist”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Oppenheimer” is Christopher Nolan’s longest movie at 180 minutes, but don’t expect it to get even longer whenever it arrives on home video. Neither a director’s cut of the atomic bomb epic nor deleted scenes from the movie exist, Cillian Murphy recently told Collider. “There’s no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan movies,” Murphy added.

A familiar charge against Christopher Nolan‘s films: they’re too loud, the sound mixing isn’t clear, making dialogue in them impossible to hear sometimes. So is that true for “Oppenheimer,” Nolan’s latest? That may depend on several factors, like whether or not one sees it in an IMAX theater.

Christopher Nolan has explained why some audience members may have difficulty hearing the dialogue in Oppenheimer.The movie, which stars Cillian Murphy as Robert J. Oppenheimer — the real-life American physicist who played a pivotal role in the creation of the atomic bomb — has received rave reviews and become a box office hit, but some fans have raised complaints about the film’s sound quality.Nolan’s films have long been criticised for hard-to-hear dialogue, with The Dark Knight Rises and Tenet being two notable examples.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Many reviews for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” pointed out the film felt like the director’s own version of Oliver Stone’s sprawling historical epic “JFK,” and now Stone himself has sounded off on Nolan’s latest achievement. The “Platoon” Oscar winner took to social media to deem Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” a new film classic, while also revealing he flirted with making his own film in the past about theoretical physicist and “father of the atomic bomb” J. Robert Oppenheimer.

JFK filmmaker Oliver Stone posted a series of tweets Tuesday praising Christopher Nolan’s latest film Oppenheimer during which he revealed he once turned down a project based around J. Robert Oppenheimer’s life because he couldn’t crack the narrative.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Good Time” and “Uncut Gems” director Benny Safdie expands his acting career with a prominent supporting role in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” He plays Edward Teller, the real-life theoretical physicist known as “the father of the hydrogen bomb.” Teller joined Oppenheimer to work on the atomic bomb in Los Alamos, N.M., focusing on nuclear implosion and uranium hydride research. He was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, and had a thick accent, which presented Safdie with one of his biggest acting challenges. “The accent was something I was so nervous about,” Safdie recently told Vulture.

Christopher Nolan‘s biopic is the scene with the poison apple.At one moment in the film, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) is seen injecting an apple intended for his professor with poison, before having a change of heart and throwing it away.Nolan drew heavily from the 2005 biography American Prometheus, which suggests Oppenheimer could have been a murderer, but admits it is uncertain and there is no historical record of it happening.“When I talked to Chris Nolan, at one point he said something roughly like, ‘I know how to tell a story out of this subject.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Christian Bale landed the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy, the filmmaker screen-tested his “Oppenheimer” star Cillian Murphy. Both men have since admitted that Murphy was never a real threat to steal the part from Bale, and Murphy told GQ Magazine UK in a recent interview that it “was for the best” that Bale won the coveted role over him anyway. “Yes, I think it was for the best because we got Christian Bale’s performance, which is a stunning interpretation of that role,” Murphy said.

A lot has been made about Quentin Tarantino’s plan to retire as a film director after his upcoming 10th feature. Some see it as a brave and noble thing, to put down the camera after 10 (hopefully) awesome movies.

Cillian Murphy has explained how director Christopher Nolan helped him “unlock” J. Robert Oppenheimer in preparation for the role.The actor, who plays the theoretical physicist in Nolan’s biopic Oppenheimer, referred to an “amazing phrase” the director used to describe the complex historical figure.Speaking in an interview with NME, Murphy said: “Chris used this amazing phrase.

Christopher Nolan has said he first conceived the idea of making a film about J. Robert Oppenheimer when he was a teenager.The director’s hotly-anticipated biopic about the father of the atomic bomb came to cinemas on Friday (July 21).

The line from many fans and pundits, at least online, is that Christopher Nolan, currently promoting his “Oppenheimer” movie is that he will eventually direct a James Bond film. I’ve always felt that was wrong.

Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy joined forces on the highly anticipated war film "Oppenheimer," and Murphy admitted he felt "pressure" collaborating with the famed British-American director. Although the two have worked together in Hollywood for more than 20 years, Murphy, 47, said he "for sure" felt an overwhelming responsibility to perform his best in Nolan’s latest film. "Pressure is good because it pushes you...

Christopher Nolan has said it would be “an amazing privilege” to direct a James Bond film.While appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the Oppenheimer director was asked by host Josh Horowitz if he’d like to try his hand at the iconic spy franchise.“The influence of those movies in my filmography is embarrassingly apparent. It would be an amazing privilege to do one,” Nolan said.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director While “Oppenheimer” has been touted as Christopher Nolan’s first biopic, that’s not necessarily true. It’s only the director’s first biopic to hit the big screen. Decades ago, Nolan wrote the screenplay for a biopic about aviator and business tycoon Howard Hughes, but the project never took flight because Martin Scorsese’s “The Aviator,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes, beat him to it. Nolan told The Daily Beast in 2007 that his Hughes biopic was the best script he’d written, and he even lined up Jim Carrey to star as Hughes. Nolan said Hughes was the role that Carrey was “born to play.” Nolan’s Howard Hughes movie never materialized, but learning how to distill the life of an iconic American figure into a movie script would pay off years later when it came time to penning “Oppenheimer.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Josh Hartnett revealed to Playboy magazine in 2015 that he talked with Christopher Nolan about taking on the role of the Caped Crusader in the director’s “Batman Begins,” which launched Warner Bros.’ billion-dollar grossing “Dark Knight” trilogy. How far did those talks go before Nolan settled on Christian Bale instead? In a new interview on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Nolan confirmed talks with Hartnett took place, but his casting never got too serious. “No, it never got that far,” Nolan said when asked if he screen-tested Hartnett for the role of Batman. “I met with Josh and if I recall, he was a young actor whose work I was very interested in,” Nolan added. “I had an initial conversation with him but he had read my brother’s script for ‘The Prestige’ at the time and was more interested in getting involved with that. So it never went further than that.”

Christopher Nolan’s brother Matthew Nolan was previously accused of being a hitman in 2009.The famed director, whose 12th feature film Oppenheimer arrives in cinemas this week, has two brothers; his younger brother Jonathan Nolan (known for co-creating Westworld) and an older sibling called Matthew Nolan.The latter was previously arrested and charged in 2009 for the murder of accountant Robert Cohen in Costa Rica. A judge, however, refused to extradite Nolan to Costa Rica to stand trial on kidnapping and murder charges, ruling that there wasn’t sufficient evidence that he was a contracted killer.As summarised in court documents, a man named Luis Alonso Douglas Mejia was initially convicted of the murder in 2005, but Costa Rica claimed Nolan was involved as a “hired killer”.“Costa Rica contends that Mejia contacted the accused [Nolan] and for a still undetermined amount of money, hired his services, both of them planning the manner in which they would deprive the victim of his freedom, in order to later murder him,” a summary on casetext reads.As reported by Q Costa Rica in 2014, Nolan is said to have been introduced to Cohen in 2005 by millionaire gem dealer Robert Breska.

Christopher Nolan’s latest pic Oppenheimer launches into cinemas Friday, and while on the promotion rounds, the director once again was confronted with the age-old question: Would he ever direct a James Bond movie?
