With today’s addition of “Hereditary” star Alex Wolff to its sprawling cast, Christopher Nolan is clearly going for something epic with “Oppenheimer.”
It seems as though new actors keep getting added on in an almost daily basis. I’ve stopped reporting on all the additions because, quite frankly, it’s turned ridiculous. As though Nolan is now just additionally shooting for deleted scenes.
The main actors seem to be Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Benny Sadie, Josh Hartnett, Kenneth Branagh, and Alden Ehrenreich. I’m sure many more will be standouts, but these are the big names.
Nolan is on week 2 of production for “Oppenheimer.” He’s never crossed the 3-hour mark in any of his film’s runtimes. I presume this one stands the best chance of cracking the 180 minute mark.
