Oppenheimer Interview: Jennifer Lame on Christopher Nolan's "Weird Magic Trick"

Whether you know her name or not, you’ve certainly seen editor Jennifer Lame’s work on the big screen. She edited Hereditary for Ari Aster, Marriage Story for Noah Baumbach, and two films for Christopher Nolan, his 2020 release Tenet and his latest film, the potential Oscar juggernaut, Oppenheimer. In fact, Lame is a predicted Academy Award nominee for her work on the film, so once that's made official, there will be no excuse not to know her name going forward.
While speaking with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff for Oppenheimer’s home release, Lame discussed her experience reuniting with Nolan for another wildly ambitious production. She noted how Nolan's specificity with his work and the fact that his process is so finely tuned actually created a relaxed vibe on set. She also talks about how she approached her work on Oppenheimer in a rather unusual fashion due to joining the project much later than preferred.
Check out this Oppenheimer interview to find out which project on her filmography Lame would dub the most challenging to edit, what the directors she's worked with have in common, if she’ll be working on more horror movies in the future, and which Oppenheimer character resonated most with her in the edit.
