Oppenheimer may have an epic three-hour runtime, but the process of making the film was surprisingly quick, according to lead actor Cillian Murphy.
"We made the movie unbelievably quickly. We made it in 57 days," Murphy told Marc Maron's WTF podcast (via Variety). "The pace of that was insane." To compare to director Christopher Nolan's other recent movies, 2017's Dunkirk had a shoot that lasted 68 days, while 2020's Tenet shot for 96 days.
