Christopher Nolan claims his nuclear-explosion film ‘Oppenheimer’ has ‘zero’ CGI shots

Director Christopher Nolan has always made it clear that he is not interested in using computer-generated footage to replace big budgets or create drama. He likes to use real images as often as possible to avoid making his work look unreal and uses effects only when necessary to make everything look perfect.

But according to Oppenheimer, Nolan faced a major challenge: recreating the atomic bomb tests. In an interview with Collider editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub, Nolan said that his new film focuses on performance and has “zero” CGI footage.

This seems difficult, given Oppenheimer’s goals.

Adapted from Kay Byrd and the late Martin J. Sherwin’s Pulitzer Prize-winning American Prometheus, the film tells the story of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by the excellent Cillian Murphy, nicknamed “The Father.” . . atom bomb.

Yes, that means there will be some scenes showing the destruction of the atomic bomb, especially as scientists recreate the experiments they did in the desert to see the effect of their networks.

We already know that at least some of the work will be done.

Nolan had previously explained how Oppenheimer’s team recreated the Trinity test without using CGI; the first bomb detonated in the New Mexico desert in 1945. This alone may seem the most effective given the planned transportation that must match the beauty of the explosion described by viewers when it explodes in real life, but Nolan manages to do it.

This should come as no surprise, given that the team traveled over mountains and hills to make the movie a success, including developing new techniques for killing black-and-white sequences in IMAX.
