OPPENHEIMER | Dropping A Real Nuke | Behind The Scenes Exclusive

Can't believe Christopher Nolan actually did it.

this is a meme. a parody of behind the scenes specials and nolan's commitment to doing everything in camera.
"Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.
The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.
Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.
The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).
The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.
Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations."

The best practical effect, that Nolan has done so far was - hands down - when he flipped three entire blocks of downtown Paris on its head for Inception. Still can´t believe, the city´s mayor agreed to let that happen, but I´m thankful he did. They even had people glued to the floor of their apartments, to prevent them from falling out of the windows. This way, they wouldn´t mess up the shot but the flipping of the city would still factor in the weight of the thousands of people living in the area, making it more authentic. Incredible dedication to the craft!

Little known fact about this film but they really did build an atomic bomb and let it off in the Universal backlot. Nolan strives for realism and he realized that CGI, optics and miniatures just weren’t going to get the job done. That’s why he had a falling out with Warner Bros. they simply didn’t have enough money or backlot space for this massive project. Also the radiation and fallout was something of an issue.

[@beastyyypie]

Fun fact: George Lucas actually built real size Death Stars and sent Mark Hamill to destroy it in his recently made X-Wing. It took 69 takes to capture the shot, luckily he had 200,000 Death Stars ready with a million more on the way.

The scene with Anakin burning on mustafar also took 420 takes. Luckily George Lucas can just burn Hayden 420 times.
