British actress Emily Blunt has revealed that her `Oppenheimer` director Christopher Nolan loves to "gossip". The actress, who essayed the role of Kitty Oppenheimer -- the wife of the American physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer -- in the Oscar-nominated biopic, has shared that the 53-year-old filmmaker is nothing like what people would expect and is "so understated as a person," reports ‘Female First UK’. Speaking with Australia`s WHO magazine, Emily said: "Someone calls and says he wants to meet, at which…

From that open-ended finish in The Dark Knight Rises to the dreamy conclusion of Inception, Christopher Nolan is known for the thought-provoking finales he tacks onto his powerhouse films. And the director's latest cinematic epic, Oppenheimer, is no exception, as star Cillian Murphy recently noted in a dual interview for Deadline.Murphy is a veteran of the Nolan Cinematic Universe.

For roughly 20 years, Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy have been working together.

So Christopher Nolan’s huge, complex, anti-narrative epic Oppenheimer continued to deliver its payload of seriousness at the Baftas; it gained best picture, best director for Christopher Nolan and best actor for Cillian Murphy for his stunningly intuitive performance as the tortured J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the A-bomb, with his sightless stare of horror – as if foreseeing humanity’s end – the man whose non-aligned leftist principles drove him to develop the bomb before the Nazis, the same principles which made…
