‘Peaky Blinders’ Denounces Ron DeSantis For Using Cillian Murphy Footage In Anti-Gay Campaign Ad ‘Without Permission’

Cillian Murphy's portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the «father of the atomic bomb,» in Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic,, was an intense undertaking.The actor's traditionally intense visage is only made more dramatic by the sunken cheekbones and dour expression he wears as the theoretical physicist who led the Manhattan Project during World War II, who seemed to carry the literal weight of the world as he conducted experiments that could lead to the end of humanity.«When Oppenheimer was running the Manhattan Project and they were doing their calculations, early on they saw the possibility that when they triggered the first atomic device, to test it, they might start a chain reaction that set fire to the atmosphere and destroyed the whole world,» Nolan explained to ET ahead of the film's premiere.«A small possibility, [but they] couldn't eliminate it completely through theory, and yet they went ahead and they pushed that button,» he continued.

Cillian Murphy was a starving artist on the set of Oppenheimer… Literally.

Cillian Murphy never joined his “Oppenheimer” castmates for dinner while shooting because he was abiding by a strict diet for his role. During an interview with “Oppenheimer” stars, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon, the two opened up about their time on the film’s set and how it felt like a “summer camp” experience because they were shooting in a remote location that only had one restaurant. “It’s unusual for all the actors to be on location together, and we were shooting this really remote location in the middle of the New Mexican desert,” Blunt said. “There was one restaurant; that was it. And we all went to have dinner.”Damon chimed in: “It wasn’t like a restaurant that was open 24 hours.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Cillian Murphy said during an interview on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast that Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” was made on a relentlessly fast schedule. “We made the movie unbelievably quickly. We made it in 57 days,” the actor revealed. “The pace of that was insane.” By comparison, Nolan’s World War II survival thriller “Dunkirk” shot for 68 days, and his massive spy movie “Tenet” shot for 96 days. Murphy is front and center in a majority of “Oppenheimer” scenes, making the shorter shooting schedule all the more intense for the actor. “The sets are huge, but it feels like being on an independent movie,” Murphy added about working with Nolan, which he has been doing for over 20 years now. “There’s just Chris and the cameraman — one camera always, unless there’s some huge, huge set piece — and the boom op and that’s it. There’s no video village, there’s no monitors, nothing. He’s a very analog filmmaker.”

Ron DeSantis plans to do a rare sit down interview with a mainstream news outlet, as he will join CNN’s Jake Tapper on the anchor’s Tuesday show.

Nolan, receiving rapturous applause as he walked into the theater, spoke onstage about his special bond with France and the 90-year old Grand Rex Theater, dating back to his 2000 film “Memento.” “When we made our first film ‘Memento,’ no one in the world would show this film,” Nolan said, until the Grand Rex Theater booked it. “Looking at the size of it I have no idea why, but people came and our lives changed and we love this theater,” added Nolan, who was surrounded by his cast and producers, including his wife Emma Thomas.

However, it appears that leading man Cillian Murphy sat out most group activities. “We were all in the same hotel in the middle of the New Mexican desert,” Blunt said. “We only had each other. Me and Matt [Damon] were roommates and we were like, ‘Let’s go to have dinner.'” Murphy did not attend because “the sheer volume of what he had to take on and shoulder is so monumental,” Blunt added.

Ron DeSantis is now personally defending the anti-LGBTQ ad his official 2024 presidential campaign promoted last week, which drew massive outrage from the left and the right for being homophobic and transphobic. The ad wrongly attempts to paint Donald Trump as being pro-LGBTQ by using some of his remarks from years ago, rather than his long record as president and presidential candidate of targeting and attacking the LGBTQ community.“Identifying Donald Trump as really being a pioneer in injecting gender ideology into the mainstream, where he was having men compete against women in his beauty pageants — I think that’s totally fair game, because he’s now campaigning saying the opposite,” DeSantis said Wednesday to  right-wing commentator Tomi Lahren, as NBC News reports.The video, which went viral on Twitter and currently has nearly 25 million views, includes this message from the DeSantis campaign attacking Trump: “To wrap up Pride Month, let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it.”READ MORE: ‘Disgusting’: Pro-DeSantis Former GOP Lawmaker Pulls Support and Slams Florida Governor After Anti-LGBTQ AdTrump’s anti-LGBTQ record is extreme, despite his pre-presidential remarks and actions.
