I Talked to Danny Boyle About Cillian Murphy

The Oppenheimer star is favored to win Best Actor next Sunday at the Oscars. So I decided to talk to a director who worked with him very early in his career. For RogerEbert.com, I had a quick chat with Danny Boyle, the man behind the terrific 28 Days Later and Sunshine. Hope you enjoy.

My Interview With the Cast and Crew of 'Oppenheimer'

So, this was a massive undertaking, but I can't tell you how pleased I am with how it turned out. 

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been talking to different people in front of and behind the camera who were involved with Oppenheimer. Specifically, we've discussed Christopher Nolan's screenplay, which I've read and is a real wonder. Folks like Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. gave me insights into how the script changed on set, and then Nolan and others shared tidbits regarding what was added and what was changed.

The design team did an incredible job with this piece -- hope you enjoy.
