Inception creator Christopher Nolan is known for going extremely far for good practical effects. For Tenet, for example, he crashed a real jumbo jet into an airport foyer. and now he has simulated an atomic bomb explosion. Fans can’t stop laughing online anymore.
Netzt laughs at Christopher Nolan’s perfectionism: is the Inception maker going crazy?
The basis is a Variety interview with Nolan on his upcoming film Oppenheimer, which throws a spotlight on the atomic bomb co-inventor Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy). He said:
The Trinity test [den ersten Atombomben-Test] without recreating CGI was a big challenge. My visual effects supervisor […] thought about how we can practically implement the visual effects in the film.
Of course, Nolan has the Trinity test not simulated with a real atomic bomb. But given his reputation as an obsessive effects perfectionist, the humorous fan reaction is understandable.
They laugh about the fact that Nolan for Oppenheimer “a few thousand extras bombed away“ have and “explain to the studio [musste]why it’s ok to detonate a real nuclear bomb on set“. One fan even compared the director to Thanos in his perfectionism, as he “Kill everyone on earth [will]to show a nuclear bomb explosion without CGI“.
