‘Oppenheimer’ premiere: Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt,, Christopher Nolan light up Paris

The Hindu  

Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan, on Tuesday, attended the grand premiere of their film ‘Oppenheimer’ at the Cinema Le Grand Rex in Paris. According to Variety, as the three-hour historical epic was about to begin, Nolan warned the audience that “it’s an intense experience, it’s a serious subject, but it’s something we pulled our hearts into.” The movie delves into the creation of the atomic bomb during World War II. And it’s just amazing how he pulled it off,” said Downey Jr. who owes his huge popularity in France to his turn in ‘Iron Man’ and “The Avengers.” He added that “Oppenheimer” is a “blockbuster movie that is about something so intimate and so important.” Murphy, who plays J. Robert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist, kept a low profile on the red carpet. Blunt, attending the premiere in a silk gown, said it was an “extraordinary set, fully immersive, which is what Chris adores to do, so you feel kidnapped by the experience as an actor.” The biopic, set during World War II, follows Oppenheimer, known as the “Father of the Atomic Bomb,” during a period in history when he understood that testing the atomic bomb would ignite the atmosphere and destroy the world, yet he pushed the button anyway.
