'Oppenheimer's Hearing Took an 'Emotional & Heavy' Two Weeks to Film
The war of the blockbusters is underway with Oppenheimer and Barbie dropping into theaters this weekend, to critical acclaim and massive box office openings. Of the two dueling films, however, it's crystal clear that Christopher Nolan's biographical epic is the far darker story, as it tells the tale of American physicist and father of the atomic bomb J. Robert Oppenheimer as written in Martin K. Sherwin and Kai Bird's bestselling novel American Prometheus.
Murphy revealed that the hearing took two weeks to film and stood as his most challenging sequence throughout the entirety of Oppenheimer's meaty three-hour runtime. In Oppenheimer's life story, his security hearing was a pivotal event not just for him, but for the scientific community at large as the government he served for years turned on him for his supposed connections to Communism.
With all the talented actors involved, the suffocating set, and the emotional gravity of a man's whole career crumbling to pieces, Murphy called the hearing his favorite part of filming Oppenheimer, saying: "To be honest with you, they were all like that. [Laughs] But the section of the movie that I loved working on the most was the section in the room, in 2022, when we were all in the hearing. We shot in this tiny, shitty little room. There weren’t any moveable walls or anything like that; it was just all of us in there with this huge camera. That felt almost like doing a play.
The result is what some, including Murphy's castmate Bennie Safdie, have called Nolan's best film yet with a heavy focus on all things practical as it tells the story of the scientist. A stellar cast certainly helps too with Murphy and Safdie joined by Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Jack Quaid, Josh Hartnett, Rami Malek, Gary Oldman, Kenneth Branagh, Alden Ehrenreich, Dane DeHaan, and David Dastmalchian among others.
