During the interview, when asked about their experience and learnings from shooting for Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt and Matt Damon had some very interesting responses on offer. Emily said, “I mean, you learn so much. Endless absorption of things you would have never been capable of doing, honestly. I learn everything every day on every film set, but something has been dialled in when you’re on a Chris Nolan movie set. There’s no chaos. It’s a very profound experience to be in a Chris Nolan movie. It’s one I’ll never forget, and learn endless things from. I just want to do it again.

Matt Damon revealed, “Chris has walked you through the dynamics and the scene. You’re so well armed with information when you go in to play these scenes that there isn’t anything to worry about. It’s just about executing. Chris is so relaxed. Even if you ask him for another take, he’s like, ‘Yeah, sure’. As a director who makes these massive movies, it’s very rare to see great acting in big movies. All of his movies have great acting and remarkable performances because he understands that part of it, which is a big part of what makes movies good.”

He further added, “If that was the last time I got to work with Chris Nolan, I am grateful I had the chance to work with him. I hope I get to work with him a lot more. Every department is at the top of their game because they are working with Chris Nolan.”

Oppenheimer delves into the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, an American physicist known as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb.' He famously created the first atomic bomb and other nuclear weapons during WWII. The film depicts how one man's genius and ambition radically altered the nature of war, resulting in the mass annihilation of millions of people and the ensuing public hysteria. We witness Oppenheimer's reaction and struggle to cope with the reality of his creation, which has the potential to wipe out humanity in minutes. The film releases on 21st July 2023 and can be watched at your nearest PVR INOX cinemas.
