Previously in an interview with The Guardians, Murphy divulged that how much hard work he has done and explained his work by saying, “I’m interested in the man and what does to the individual. The mechanics of it, that is not really for me. I don’t have the intellectual capability to understand them.”
“I will always turn up for Chris, whatever the size of the part. Chris will call me up and I’m there. Isn’t it wonderful that filmmakers are still making challenging, demanding films within the studio system, shot on film rather than IMAX? I think he is flying the flag. Him, Paul Thomas Anderson and Quentin Tarantino are fantastic filmmakers making interesting work on a massive scale”, Murphy further continued.
‘Oppenherimer’ also stars Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Jack Quaid, Josh Hartnett, Gustaf Skarsgård and is coming to thrill us on July 21, 2023.
