Los Angeles, July 18 - Blockbuster filmmaker Christopher Nolan's upcoming atom bomb movie "Oppenheimer" was shot in less than two months, revealed actor Cillian Murphy who plays the title role as J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who was pivotal in developing the first nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project and thereby ushering in the Atomic Age. ## "Oppenheimer" will reportedly be run for nearly three hours and it consists of unbelievably zero CGI shots, as confirmed by Nolan himself recently. Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy said during an interview on Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast (via Variety), that the movie was filmed in just 57 days.## "We made the movie unbelievably quickly. We made it in 57 days. The pace of that was insane", the actor revealed. In comparison to Nolan's previous movies, the World War II survival thriller "Dunkirk" was shot in 68 days, and his massive spy movie "Tenet" was shot in 96 days. ## "The sets are huge, but it feels like being on an independent movie. There's just Chris and the cameraman — one camera always unless there's some huge, huge set piece — and the boom op and that's it. There's no video village, there's no monitors, nothing. He's a very analog filmmaker", Murphy added.## "Oppenheimer" is Christopher Nolan's longest film yet. It marks Murphy's 6th film with Nolan after Three Batman films, "Inception", and "Dunkirk", however, "Oppenheimer" is the first film of the director in which Murphy is playing the lead role.## The epic biographical thriller film stars Cillian Murphy as the title character, with a supporting ensemble cast including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. ## Shot entirely in IMAX, "Oppenheimer" is scheduled to release on July 21 worldwide. ## Stay tuned...
