Christopher Nolan has called ‘Oppenheimer’ one of the most challenging projects of his career.
One thing of which you could never accuse Christopher Nolan is shirking when it comes to special effects. During the making of Interstellar, he literally recruited a particle physicist to ensure the representation of a black hole was accurate, although you can be sure if he could have filmed next to an actual black hole, he would have.
But a nuclear explosion presents an altogether different kind of problem. You can't exactly just get some plutonium and create an atomic bomb .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY I think recreating the Trinity test, the first nuclear weapon detonation, in New Mexico, without the use of computer graphics, was a huge challenge to take on.
It’s a story of immense scope and scale. And one of the most challenging projects I’ve ever taken on in terms of the scale of it, and in terms of encountering the breadth of Oppenheimer’s story. There were big, logistical challenges, big practical challenges. But I had an extraordinary crew, and they really stepped up. It will be a while before we’re finished.
"We’re trying to tell the story of somebody’s life, and their journey through personal history and larger-scale history," said Nolan. "And so the subjectivity of the story is everything to me. We want to view these events through Oppenheimer’s eyes.
