Christopher Nolan and Cillian MurphyOppenheimer is just around the corner. It has been one of the most hyped films of the modern period and it has plenty of reasons to be so. Cillian Murphy exceeded our expectations and in a recent interview by Nolan, he expresses why Murphy was the right man for the job.

“In truth, there are just not that many actors that you could say, on a first-person approach, ‘Yeah, we’re going to be this guy for three hours,'” Nolan tells the reporter.

Then he added that Cillian surprised him on set with this outstanding performance every day. And when got into the edit suit and was putting everything together, he was absolutely blown away.

The actor even expresses that he had very less knowledge about the character of Oppenheimer before going deep into the project.

Murphy said that Nolan helped him through the whole journey of character-building. It took some time to get to this point but the portrayal looks splendid.

Murphy also expressed that he would never do an impression of the real Scientist but some silhouettes helped him to find the iconography and the magnitude of the film. This will mark the sixth collaboration between the Peaky Blinders star and Christopher Nolan.

Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan will hit the theaters on the 21st of July this year. This 3-hour long historical drama will bring a theatrical experience like nothing else.
