#Scott R. Fisher
'Clocking in at just over three hours, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is his longest and arguably most ambitious film yet.
The biopic sees Cillian Murphy giving a sure to be Oscar-nominated performance as the titular physicist, who is known as the ‘father of the atomic bomb’.
Its not just the lead star who is being tipped for award season glory either, with his cast mates, director Nolan and the film’s sound, special effects and wardrobe teams also likely to make it onto shortlists.
We’re still many months away from the Golden Globes and Oscars nominee announcements but to tide you over, here are 15 behind-the-scenes facts that remind you just how impressive Oppenheimer is...
The Trinity Test recreation was filmed without special effects
Nolan is no stranger to recreating dramatic events on the big screen but in perhaps his most ambitious move yet, the director decided to film the atomic bomb test without using any CGI or visual effects. That means what you see on screen really did take place – although on a smaller scale.
Visual effects supervisor Scott R. Fisher has explained how his team created real ‘miniature’ explosions and filmed those.
He told Total Film: “We don’t call them miniatures; we call them ‘big-atures’. We do them as big as we possibly can, but we do reduce the scale so it’s manageable.
“It’s getting it closer to the camera, and doing it as big as you can in the environment.”
In order to create the intense burning created by the successful test run, Scott’s team used gasoline and propane, while aluminium powder and magnesium were added to replicate the blinding white light of a nuclear explosion.
Scott added: “We really wanted everyone to talk about that flash, that brightness. So we tried to replicate that as much as we could.”
The opening Prometheus quote is a nod to Nolan’s source material
Oppenheimer opens with an ominous opening caption, which reads: “Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity.”
The film is based on Kai Bird’s 2005 Oppenheimer biography American Prometheus and explaining the comparison, Kai writes in his book: “Like that rebellious Greek god Prometheus—who stole fire from Zeus and bestowed it upon humankind, Oppenheimer gave us atomic fire.
“But then, when he tried to control it, when he sought to make us aware of its terrible dangers, the powers-that-be, like Zeus, rose up in anger to punish him.”
Cillian Murphy got his role without auditioning
Oppenheimer marks Christopher and Cillian’s sixth film together – following the Batman trilogy, Inception and Dunkirk – and given their close relationship, the Irish actor no longer needs to audition for roles.
During an interview with Radio 2, Cillian recalled the moment when he received a casual call from Nolan, who explained he had the perfect lead role for him.
“If you’re lucky you get one or two of those [calls] in your career, you know?” he said. “It was the best, best feeling. It was kind of euphoric, and then you go ‘oh that’s a lot of work’. So I immediately just started working.
“I had like six months before, between when he called me and we started the shoot. The script was solid and was there. It was one of the greatest scripts I’ve ever read. It was magnificent.”
The cast lived together during filming
Oppenheimer sees America’s greatest scientific minds living together at the Los Alamos facility in New Mexico and for the movie, Nolan also moved his cast and crew into digs together.
Emily Blunt likened the situation to ‘summer camp’ and told People: “We were all in the same hotel in the middle of the New Mexican desert. We only had each other.”
But Cillian skipped their group hangouts
Longterm pals Emily and Matt Damon organised group dinners for the cast during filming – but the former’s on-screen husband RSVP’d with a firm no.
Mary Poppins actor Emily added to People: “The sheer volume of what he had to take on and shoulder is so monumental.
“Of course he didn’t want to come and have dinner with us.”
Cillian added: “You know that when you have those big roles, that responsibility, you feel it’s kind of overwhelming.”
Another contributing factor was the Irish star’s strict diet, as he lost weight to play the scientist, who in real-life subsisted on cigarettes, martinis and not so much food.
“He was losing so much weight for the part that he just didn’t eat dinner, ever,” Matt told Entertainment Tonight.
The hard to hear dialogue is (sort of) intentional
While Oppenheimer is very much deserving of its five-star reviews, cinema-goers have complained about one thing: the sound levels.
Posting on social media after seeing the movie, numerous fans noted that some of the speech sounds muffled and exchanges on-screen can sometimes be difficult to fully hear.
This is down to the fact the IMAX cameras used by Nolan aren’t soundproofed.
Most directors would work around this by getting actors to re-record dialogue in post-production to make it clearer, but this is something he isn’t a fan of.
“I like to use the performance that was given in the moment rather than the actor re-voice it later,” Nolan told Insider. “Which is an artistic choice that some people disagree with, and that’s their right.”
The script was written in first person
In another unusual move, Nolan wrote the script in first person in order to reflect how most of the film is being told from Oppenheimer’s perspective and using his memories.
Matt Damon told Vulture: “I’ve never seen that done before. Instead of ‘Oppenheimer walks across the room,’ it’s ‘I walk across the room.’ This was a way for him to signal that, Okay, this is what the movie’s going to feel like. It’s going to feel immediate.”
Kodak had to manufacture a new type of film especially for Oppenheimer
Film purist Nolan filmed the biopic on large format cameras with IMAX 70mm film, but there was one small problem.
Oppenheimer features two timelines with one in colour and another in black-and-white. Unfortunately, black and white IMAX 70mm film didn’t exist so cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema put in a call to Kodak.
He told Variety: “They came out with test rolls for us to run through our camera. We had to re-engineer our cameras a little bit, and we had to remake our pressure plates and our backend lab work needed to be readjusted.”
“I do remember when Chris and I were sitting in the cinema and watching the results of our first black and white test and it was just freaking amazing. We had never seen anything like it.”
Cillian had no physics knowledge – but one co-star was well-prepared
The Inception star has admitted that he doesn’t “have the intellectual capacity to understand quantum mechanics” but the same can’t be said for Benny Safdie, who plays Edward Teller.
Prior to becoming an actor, Benny was a budding scientist and studied nuclear physics in high school.
“I was working with a physicist at Columbia University,” he told Vulture. “I was doing cosmic rays. It is a deep passion of mine.”
And another actor previously starred in another Oppenheimer-inspired project
Christopher Denham, who plays Klaus Fuchs, appeared in the 2014 series Manhattan, which took its name from the project developing the atomic weapons.
We won’t spoil the TV drama but Christopher’s Manhattan character, the entirely fictional Jim Meeks, has parallels to his Oppenheimer alter-ego.
There are no deleted scenes and there’ll never be a director’s cut
Nolan’s love of IMAX cameras and 70mm film makes movie-making incredibly expensive, so he makes sure every single second of his movies is mapped out before yelling ‘action’.
Cillian told Collider: “There’s no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan movies. That’s why there are no DVD extras on his movies because the script is the movie. He knows exactly what’s going to end up – he’s not fiddling around with it trying to change the story. That is the movie.”
Oppenheimer features Nolan’s first ever sex scenes
Despite having directed 11 feature films before starting work on his latest, Nolan had never directed intimate scenes before.
Oppenheimer features sex scenes with the titular scientist and Jean Tatlock, a member of the communist party who was his lover before and during his marriage (played by Florence Pugh).
Justifying the intimate moments, Nolan told Insider they are “essential” to understanding Oppenheimer’s life as a whole.
“His very intense relationship with Jean Tatlock [...] is one of the most important things in his life,” he said. “But not least for the fact that Jean Tatlock was very explicitly a Communist and his obsession with her therefore had enormous ramifications for his later life and his ultimate fate.
“It felt very important to understand their relationship and to really see inside it and understand what made it tick without being coy or allusive about it, but to try to be intimate, to try and be in there with him and fully understand the relationship that was so important to him.”
Florence Pugh’s topless scene is very different in some cinemas around the globe
The intimate scenes between Oppenheimer and his lover earned the film its R rating, but some cinema-goers noticed an odd addition to one scene.
In countries including India, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, digital censoring has been used to cover Florence’s body with a CGI black dress.
Nolan had been thinking about Oppenheimer since he was a teenager
The director grew up in England in the 1980s when the scientist was “a part of pop culture then, without us knowing a lot about him.”
He told Bulletin: “I think I first encountered Oppenheimer in that relation; I think he was referred to in Sting’s song about the Russians that came out then and talks about Oppenheimer’s ‘deadly toys.’
“It was the peak of CND, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Greenham Common [protest]; the threat of nuclear war was when I was 12, 13, 14 – it was the biggest fear we all had,” he added.
And there’s even an Oppenheimer reference in Tenet
In the same interview, Nolan recalls learning of how the Los Alamos scientists were told there was a chance the atomic bomb could destroy the world.
He explained: “That struck me as the most dramatic situation in the history of the world, with any sort of possibility being an end to life on Earth. That’s a responsibility that nobody else in the history of the world had ever faced.
“I put a reference to that in my last film, Tenet; there’s dialogue, a reference to that exact situation by Oppenheimer. That film deals with a science-fiction extrapolation of that notion: Can you put the toothpaste back in the tube? The danger of knowledge, once knowledge is unveiled—once it’s known, once it’s fact—you can’t wind the clock back and put that away.”'

REBEL MOON (2023) | Total Film Exclusive
The Rebel Moon director's cuts won't be quite like regular director's cuts
Rebel Moon, Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic based on an old Star Wars pitch, is hitting Netflix in two parts.
In classic Zack Snyder fashion, though, the director is already working on R-rated director's cuts of each film that will offer deeper character beats and even more gloriously violent speedramped action. But, these will be unique from regular director's cuts for a key reason.
"The difference [this time] is that we've planned for it… it's not an afterthought," producer Deborah Snyder tells Total Film magazine in the new issue, which hits newsstands on Thursday, October 12 and features Ridley Scott on the cover. "We're still tweaking, but they'll probably be 45-minutes to an hour longer, each one. You get more character. You get a lot more of everything. It's not just a few deleted scenes."
The films see a peaceful colony threatened by the sinister Imperium, with a lone warrior – Sofia Boutella's Kora – setting off to gather allies to make a stand against the enemies. Charlie Hunnam, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Bae Doona, Ray Fisher, Jena Malone and Ed Skrein co-star. You can see a new, menacing look at Skrein as his villainous character in our exclusive image above. Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire will land on Netflix this December 22, while Part Two: The Scargiver will drop just four months later in April, after both films were shot and edited simultaneously.
For more on the film, feast your eyes on the new issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, October 12.

How Team Penske took push-to-pass beyond the limit
Penske Perfect and Details Matter are two phrases often used in conjunction with the Penske organization. And when they can be used to dunk on Ferrucci, all the better.
Josef is a perfectionist. This is a combo of his highly competitive nature - which has been said about him from a young age - and the Penske Perfect motto which he has taken to heart. He is highly critical of himself - getting very down on himself if he makes a mistake and taking the blame for things not wholly under his control. But he tried to maintain a genial if slightly arrogant image in public. He slips sometimes - there have been a few angry Twitter interactions that he later apologized for and on occasion after a race, his temper will get the better of him and he'll say things he probably shouldn't.
He can be goofy as hell as seen on Bus Bros. Scott McLaughlin has brought this out of him since becoming teammates. Josef has said that Scott makes him feel more comfortable being his real self.
I would be remiss if I did not point out Josef's thighs. He is a specimen in general but those thighs should get special attention.
Fanfic Lore
Frequently paired with teammate Scott McLaughlin. As of 2024 there has been a cooling of their friendship as Josef pulls back to focus on racing/the championship.
Historically paired with Conor Daly. They raced together in karts and lower-series cars.

Who, in your opinion, are ✨Legendary, Talented Actors and Actresses✨ (deceased, alive and "legend in the making")?
Nice question!!!! Like the word “versatile”, I feel that when referring to an actor or actress, “legendary” is thrown around too often without actually understanding what that word means and how it correlates to an actor or actress. That being said, I hope I do this right...
Alive:
- Daniel Craig
- Winona Ryder
- Christian Bale
- Julianne Moore
- Jim Carrey
- Meryl Streep
- James McAvoy
- Julia Roberts
- Willem Dafoe
- Susan Sarandon
- Ewan McGregor
- Charlize Theron
- Johnny Depp (like him or not)
- Nicole Kidman
- Tom Hanks
- Kate Winslet
- Edward Norton
- Morgan Freeman
- Robert Downey Jr.
- Leonardo DiCaprio
- Allison Janney
- Christopher Walken
- Will Smith
- Michael Caine
- Brad Pitt
- Dakota Fanning
- Denzel Washington
- Viola Davis
- Gary Oldman
- Bryce Dallas Howard
- Idris Elba
- Helena Bonham Carter
- Tom Cruise (like him or not, and I, personally, absolutely despise him)
- Jessica Chastain
- Al Pacino
- Cate Blanchett
- Steve Carell (his career took off after he landed his iconic role as Michael Scott in The Office, but since his last episode in 2011, he's come a long way and has even branched out into a variety of genres as well as role types)
- Angelina Jolie
- Michael Keaton
- Michelle Pfeiffer
- Daniel Day-Lewis
- Sandra Bullock
- Robert De Niro
- Renée Zellweger
- Colin Farrell
- Patricia Arquette
- Colin Firth
- Joaquin Phoenix
- Keanu Reeves
- Matthew McConaughey
- Brendan Fraser
- Harrison Ford
- Jack Nicholson
- Stanley Tucci
**There are tons of actors and actresses from the 30s-60s that were in-demand and could definitely be considered a legend, but I chose to leave them off because I didn’t want this list to be long and I wanted to focus on only the ones I grew up with as well as heard of**
Gone, but NEVER Forgotten
- Heath Ledger
- Carrie Fisher
- Robin Williams
- Brittany Murphy
- River Phoenix
- Chadwick Boseman
- Chris Farley
- Patrick Swayze
Legend in the Making:
- Anya Taylor-Joy
- Robert Pattinson
- Margot Robbie
- Julia Garner (I can just feel it...!)
- Finn Wolfhard
- Melissa McCarthy
- Andrew Garfield
- Sadie Sink (I can just feel it...!)
- Cillian Murphy
- Kate McKinnon
- Saoirse Ronan
- Anne Hathaway
- Amy Adams
- Lin-Manuel Miranda
- Kristen Stewart (like her or not)
Honorable Mentions: Emma Thompson, Natalie Portman, Elle Fanning, Halle Berry, Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, Zoë Saldaña, Emma Stone, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler
Unsure:
Hugh Jackman - click here
Matthew Modine - A true artist at heart who was quite versatile with his roles and genres in the 80s (and so fine 😍), but he isn't super well-known nor popular like, for example, Tom Hanks; however, the role of 'Papa' on Stranger Things won him tons of new fans as well as awoke his fans that grew up with him
Jason Bateman - He's been around since the 80s, but aside from Ozark, he only really stars in crude R-rated films, so I'm on the fence about whether he'd be considered one or not
Amy Poehler
Adam Driver
Tina Fey
Jake Gyllenhaal
Chris Rock
Florence Pugh
Bill Skarsgård
Tom Holland
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
There are definitely tons--I mean tons of more actors and actresses I could write out for each category, but I'll end the lists here. Thank for the ask, this was fun to think about! If any of you have suggestions, then send me an ask.

NOIR CITY 20 day five at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre: HOLLOW TRIUMPH (5:00) & THE HUNTED (9:00). Films introduced by Eddie Muller. Tickets and full festival schedule: www.NoirCity.com
Tuesday • January 24
DOUBLE FEATURE
7:00 PM
HOLLOW TRIUMPH
Fugitive crook Johnny Muller (Paul Henreid) finds the perfect hiding place—in the guise of a psychiatrist who is his identical twin ... almost. One of the sublime examples of noir fatalism with a clever script that will keep you guessing right up until the end. It's also an amazingly evocative look at 1940s Los Angeles, photographed by the great John Alton. This was the first film produced by romantic leading man Henreid, who like many actors in the late 1940s turned to crime dramas to revitalize their careers. Co-starring Joan Bennett at her flinty best.
Originally released August 18, 1948. Eagle-Lion, 83 minutes. Screenplay by Daniel Fuchs, from the novel by Murray Forbes. Produced by Paul Henreid. Directed by Steve Sekely.
9:00 PM
THE HUNTED
Paroled after serving a prison term for her part in a jewel heist, Laura Mead (Belita) returns to the city looking to reclaim her life. Waiting in the shadows is her former boyfriend, detective Johnny Saxon (Preston Foster), who may have railroaded her into the pen out of jealousy. Is Laura ready to forgive … or make good on her jailhouse threat to kill the men who sent her up? A strange, hypnotic twist on the femme fatale tale, resurrected from obscurity in a 35mm preservation print funded by the Film Noir Foundation.
Originally released April 7, 1948. Allied Artists [Warner Bros.], 88 minutes. Screenplay by Steve Fisher. Produced by Scott R. Dunlap. Directed by Jack Bernhard.

The Dead shall Rise: “Evil Dead Rise” Review
Pictured above is the “Evil Dead Rise” poster.
Image Credit: Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema
42 years ago, Sam Raimi would create a little movie that would spark an iconic franchise and 32 years later that franchise would be rebooted by the movie called “Evil Dead” (2013) which was directed by Fede Alvarez, this movie would receive critical acclaim. Now, 10 years later…this franchise would be brought back from the dead (pun intended) with “Evil Dead Rise” (2023) which is directed by Lee Cronin. It currently holds an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes which is shocking considering the content that is inside the movie, now I know the Evil Dead franchise is known for its bloody content but for me I think this might be the bloodiest one yet, this might be even bloodier than the 2013 remake. Alright, let’s bring out our chainsaws, Boomsticks, and Necronomicon’s and go straight to the spoiler-free review.
Evil Dead Rise is a 2023 supernatural horror film directed by Lee Cronin (who also wrote the movie), Produced by Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi, and Bruce Campbell (who starred in the original Evil Dead movies and “Ash vs Evil Dead”). The cast involves Lily Sullivan as Beth, Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie, Morgan Davies as Danny, Gabrielle Echols as Bridget, Nell Fisher as Kassie, Richard Crouchley as Caleb, Mirabai Pease as Teresa, Anna-Maree Thomas as Jessica, Jayden Daniels as Gabriel, Billy Reynolds-McCarthy as Jake, Tai Wano as Scott, and Mark Mitchinson as Mr. Fonda.
The Plot:
A reunion between two estranged sisters gets cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
Positives:
One positive I have about the movie is the tone, I liked how they combine the campy elements of the original movies with the darker elements of the remake (which I prefer…please don’t cancel me). I appreciated how they balanced the dark humor of the original movie while adding the dark and intense moments of the remake to make it not so silly. I loved how unsettling Alyssa Sutherland was in the role of Ellie, especially during the bathtub scene.
Pictured above is Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie

The second positive I have about this movie was the cast, I really enjoyed the performances of Lily Sullivan and Nell Fisher as Beth and Kassie as their portrayals make you root for them and hope they make it out alive. I also enjoyed the characters in general as they were likeable and made smart decisions.
The third positive I have about this movie is that it was not afraid to embrace its R-Rating, there was tons of blood spilt in this movie with amazing practical effects as Evil Dead is known for that. I’m not going to look at cheese graters the same way again after a certain scene in the movie.

Negatives:
The only negative I have is that I wish the movie was just a little bit longer as the ending felt rushed in my opinion, but don’t let that one negative discourage you from checking out “Evil Dead Rise” wherever you can.
My Overall Thoughts:
After watching “Evil Dead Rise”, I can’t wait to see what’s next in the franchise. I really enjoyed the exploration of the theme of motherhood and how it tied into the movie. This movie was disturbing, violent, and as Ash Williams would say…``Groovy.”
Where to watch “Evil Dead Rise”?
“Evil Dead Rise” can be watched in Theaters and through digital retailers now, Blu-Ray and DVD on June 27th.
What did you think about “Evil Dead Rise”?
Feel free to comment on this post and please keep the comments respectful.
Thank you.

Foreign Correspondent (1940)
Basic Story: Reporter John Jones is sent to Europe to cover the growing tensions there and is caught up in an assassination plot.
Fan Thoughts: Foreign Correspondent has a complicated and twisting plot backed by some truly fantastic shots, particularly a long sequence in a plane right before the end of the film. The story follows John Jones, pen name Huntley Haverstock (Joel McCrea), a reporter sent to England in August 1939 to cover the situation in Europe as the threat of war grows larger and larger. Jones’ first assignment is to interview Dutch diplomat Van Meer at an event held in his honor by the Universal Peace Party, run by Stephen Fisher (Herbert Marshall). After briefly sharing a cab to the event, Jones and Van Meer arrive and Van Meer promptly disappears, but Jones is distracted by Fisher’s daughter Carol (Laraine Day) and doesn’t question his absence. Jones later follows Van Meer to Amsterdam to try to interview him there but before he can, Van Meer is assassinated; Jones, along with Ms. Fisher and reporter Scott ffolliott (George Sanders) pursue his killer into the countryside. From there, all three are caught up in a web of spies and kidnappings, trying to untangle what has actually happened and attempting to keep the war from starting. Interestingly, the film foreshadowed several things that happened in real life before they had actually occurred: the final scenes of Jones delivering a radio broadcast in the vein of Edward R Murrow, and during that broadcast London is being bombed – the film was released in America on August 16, 1940 while Germany began bombing London on August 24. While it is perhaps not Hitchcock’s finest film, it puts together all of its parts harmoniously to create a compelling film that is worth the two-hour runtime.
Warnings: none
Available On: HBO Max, Apple TV, Prime Video
