The ‘Oppenheimer’ Cast on Filming the Trinity Test, Immersing Themselves in Their Characters, & More 

This is a prime example of what Hollywood interviews should be like. No degenerate BS about relationships and drama, just pure passion for the art of filmmaking

Oppenheimer is a masterpiece. This was the most I have ever prepped for an interview and I still felt unprepared. Thanks to cast and Mr. Nolan for letting a movie fan live a dream for 30 mins. Pls see it on the largest screen possible, it will literally take ur breath away.

She is a terrific interviewer. She is doing something rarely seen these days. Engaged. Deeply human. Well researched. Refreshingly good.

I love how they ALL understood that it was OPPENHEIMER -- the actors and their characters fully understood that it was Cillian's movie, but every single character almost had leading roles in the way they supported Cillian. Masterpiece.

THE INTERVIEWER ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT! ARTICULATE, CONCISE, SHARP, SO GOOD!

The interviewer gets an A++ for the amazing job she did to carry the conversation. She had great questions, didn’t interrupt and allowed them to express themselves.

*An interviewer that actually did their research, had insightful, thoughtful questions, and didn't interrupt the interviewees all while keeping a good flow of the conversation. Why don't we more of this?*

I know Cillian gets his flowers here but my god, it cannot be overstated how brilliant he is as an actor. He's really the only person i have ever seen portray the complexity of humans and hiding their emotions so incredibly well.

I know everyone is praising Cillian (deservingly so) but man it is refreshing to see RDJ in a non-MCU environment. This guy is a phenomenal actor and I cannot wait to see more of him

Who is the interviewer? She’s incredibly articulate, yet still organically grounded! Her questions are perfectly delivered and balanced.

5:50 Emily's quote of from the book immediately made me think of her scene towards the end during the "trial" when she is being questioned and she absolutely OWNS Roger Robb by making him look foolish while he's trying to do the same to her. This is one of the greatest ensemble performances of all time, possibly number one to me.

That's how Interview is supposed to be. The Interviewer absolutely killed it. So classy, respectful, knowledgable about what she is saying. Enjoyed every second!

Cillian and Robert have been getting a ton of well deserved praise but Matt Damon was just as incredible in the film and I hope he doesn't get too overshadowed.

This is one of the best interviews I have watched in a long time...

I love how Matt Damon wants to talk about the movie. Not like someone who took part in creating this masterpiece, but as spectator watching it from the sidelines. Amazing movie, cast, even sound effects. I’m so impressed, saddened and in love with this story at the same time.

It’s one of those rare films. You walk away and your head is absolutely spinning. I genuinely had a headache after watching it (don’t let that put you off though). It just had so much weight, so much suspense, and so many fantastic performances. It’s such an important film. It’s about accountability, ethics, brilliance, genius, innovation, infidelity, marriage, opening a door you can’t close, and about being the hero one day, and the villain the next. Completely fair to argue that he was both. You can’t deal in absolutes here. There’s a lot of grey. Masterpiece

I'm so happy that Christopher gave Cillian his time to shine and hopefully an Oscar. He really deserves it 🥺

It's really exciting to see Robert Downey Jr. working under Nolan's orders, and finally taking a role at the level of his talent.

Cilian is just calmness. He seems to be at peace, which is so difficult to find these days. People are always in a mess, lost in thoughts etc. but look at Cilian❤️ bless him

This interviewer is honestly one of the best I’ve seen! She kept control of the conversations while also giving the actors all the time and space to express themselves. The way she would tailor each ending note to the next question also made the interview feel free flowing. Just incredible!

The interviewer was absolutely first-rate. She was in command of the interview without commanding. The actors responded to her professionalism by opening up and revealing their honesty about the film. I was impressed by the dynamic respect manifest in the room.

10/10 for the interviewer. I really liked her questions and engagement. it takes someone to get Cillian Murphy talking 😅

Jacqueline Coley deserves an award for this interview! One of the most brilliant interviews I have ever seen. The way she led this in such an intelligent, funny and concise way... Amazing film with an outrageous cast.

One of the most erudite and skillful interviewers gaining respect and confidence from the artists and opened up the conversation as if there's no fourth wall. Great job, Jacqueline Coley.

I'm glad everyone is highlighting how talented the interviewer is. Someone who makes the cast excited to talk about the film and has done so much research prior

Dude, Matt gave such a masterful, balanced, precise answer to his question. A perfect interview answer.

To whom it may concern, Give this interviewer a raise.

I cannot cannot stress this enough, SHE IS THE BEST INTREVIEWER I have seen in the longest time. Best Interview, no crass no gimmick, just sharp perfect questions that we want to listen answered as a nolan audience. LOVE HER

The interviewer totally knocks the interview out of the park. So well done how she pulled each actor as well as the director into the interview. Has to be the best interview I have ever seen.

A real class act by the interviewer Jacqueline Coley. She knew the relevant details about the movie as well as Oppenheimer's life and posed topical, meaningful, and intelligent questions that kept everyone interested, all while switching effortlessly from one person to another. Overall, she struck a fine balance giving everyone their moment in the sun, without letting anyone overpower or dominate the conversation. Those are some of the smartest people in the room and to hold their own against them in something they've worked on is phenomenal. Quality stuff!

It’s amusing how Matt Damon is very excited and telling his feelings nonstop 😂.. what a great consistent interview

Recap by Tammy AI

I found the interviewer Jacqueline absolutely brilliant - intelligently constructed questions delivered in such a tactful yet honest way! Edit: Now that I am comment-famous - I'd like to say I really would like Chris Nolan to appear on Lex Fridman. I think that would be a top-notch interview.

I love seeing interviews where the actors and the director are sat together. It’s nice to see how they all react to each other’s answers and it really gives you a feel of what it might’ve been like for them all to be on set together.

Oppenheimer is a movie made by a master in complete control of his art. It is a colossal movie. Made by people that care about films. Amazing experience.

Matt’s enthusiasm here is contagious. Great interviewer ❤

It’s been touched on in the comments, but Damon’s so underrated at promoting a film, telling a story that reels you in, relating that past story to now, and leaving you more excited than before for a film. A huge part of being a movie star, like cruise, is even making press junkets come alive like this one. Credit to an incredible interviewer as well! This was a treat.

matt damon, despite being on the film itself, looked more excited than us, he was so happy and enthusiastic to explain the movie/experience

Murphy is outstanding in the film. It was a big ask to spearhead this ambitious film and Cillian made it look like it was the most natural thing for him. RDJ was a standout also. The cast, in general, was absolutely perfect.

This interviewer should have a podcast if she doesn’t already, would do so much better than the majority of interview style podcasters these days. She’s an absolute pro

“Tragic and beautifully human.” Matt Damon was so engaged in this interview. Loved the exchange and the interviewer asked thoughtful questions and gave them space to respond.

7:24 - 10:34 Matt Damons response was so articulate and insightful he kept my interest for 3 minutes straight

Never feel inclined to comment but this interview is the pinnacle of interviews. Absolutely stunning. Masterclass. Can’t wait to see the film.

Seeing Cillian's timid and almost sheepish nature and comparing that to his Thomas Shelby character is really something else. One of our generation's elite actors.

Everyone is in love and awe of Cilian Murphy's performance.

She is a fantastic interviewer. The depth of her questions showed a level of understanding and intelligence that matches the scale of the people she is interviewing. Bravo.

What I love about this cast in interviews is that you could see the much love and respect they have for each other and they make each other laugh, which is the most important thing I ask for in a coworker 😂

Cillian Murphy should win an Oscar for this performance, I saw the movie yesterday, he blew away Matt Damon, and Robert Downey on the screen, what a talent!

I've watched some of the Oppenheimer interviews and in all Robert Downey is just praising Cillian and Chris. He's so excited and happy as if he's founded the joy of cinema. I believe Matt and Emily feel the same. And something tells me there will be more collaborations in future between Robert and Chris.

You can see Matt’s oozing skills/talent in writing as he participates in these thoughtful interviews.

Cillian.... looking so pensive, introverted and taking in all the conversation and praise. I truly feel he IS the best actor of his day. I've admired his talent since 28 Days. If his name is in the credits, I'm there for it. I'm not super into Hollywood, but I'd love to meet this whole panel and converse with them. Great cast and excellent interview, executed by a captivating interviewer. Bravo to all, cannot wait to see the film.

Your interview skills, demeanor, professionalism & your ability to not being awe struck are amazing. I hope you have an amazing career. Well done Jacqueline!

Nolan is doing the world a favor by making this film right now. We need it. It's eerie how timely it is.

man I'm so happy for Cillian, he's such a legend

This interview had everything, above all else class. She constructed it so well. The actors and Chris responded well. RDJ is a superb actor. He was overlooked for Chaplin, so hopefully this will bring his much deserved oscar and accolades, as well as the rest of the cast and crew. Would love to see him work together on more projects with Chris Nolan

I saw this film two nights ago and I am STILL awestruck at how brilliant ALL the performances were but I must say that Robert Downey Jr is superb!! HE MUST get an Oscar for this role as well as Cillian as Oppenheimer!! LOVE this movie!!!!!!

Okay, So she needs to do every interview from here on out. On every channel. Well done.

You can see the respect in the cast members' eyes for Chris Nolan; they are honored to be a part of this. Nolan has already established himself as one of the finest directors of all time. 🔥🔥

The interviewer absolutely killed this interview.

I like that Cilian works with people he is friends with. From Danny Boyle to Chris Nolan to working in tiny unknown plays in Ireland. He always has time to do the big stuff and the little stuff because he trusts the hands of certain directors and ignores the rest of the schlock that Hollywood pumps out.

You can probably find thousands of comments saying how good the interviewer was, but damn! She killed it. So sharp, not awkward, kept the conversation going. I see in so many other interviews that the cast is almost falling asleep being asked the same boring questions. Good job Jacqueline, you did so freaking good. Best interview I have ever seen in a long time.

Cillian, RDJ, Matt and Emily…what a cast. This movie is gonna be historical and amazing

How come this interviewer is not more well-known and appreciated - she is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!

This is what you call an interviewer, a fan, a smile, respectful, knowledgeable about her subject, articulate in her words… questions that matter! I really hope more interviewers take a page from her book and understand that people are not entertained by triggering disrespectful interviews. I love how invested she is in the art and how she carries herself like an absolute professional! Bravo

I feel as if Cillian being a supporting actor in a lot of Nolan's films were just stepping stones. Nolan waiting for the perfect opportunity to cast him in a leading role. That time has come, and I cannot see anyone else who can portray Oppenheimer. I can sense awards/critical acclaim for Cillian's performance in what I think is going to be one of, if not, Nolan's best film to date.

Kudos to the interviewer Jacqueline Coley for asking incredibly deep and entertaining questions. This by far the best cast interview I've ever seen. They are so professional, courteous & respectful of each others comments & space. Their love of this film and for Christopher Nolan is palpable.

Agreed, the interviewer was actually the most engaging aspect of this interview.

This movie made me think more critically about a situation in human history that I knew about but never really understood it in a way where emotionally I’m shocked at the way innocent life’s were just deleted.

Never have I witnessed such a great interview for a movie. This interviewer found the right balance, sustained engagement and respect for the subject and cast in such a professional and considered way. One can even feel the respect the cast and Nolan have for the conductor of this conversation. Well done - I could watch this type of interaction all day! Jacqueline Coley you deserve the greatest success!

What a great interviewer! She's erudite, she's asking very interesting questions while at the same time giving everyone enough space to go into the details and everyone has their time to shine. Brilliant!

What made this interview so enjoyable to me was that it was nothing like an interview and more like watching a group of articulate and intelligent friends having a robust conversation.

If Nolan and Cillian dont get an Oscar with this movie I don't even know how to take the awards seriously anymore

the way matt answers really opens my eyes. you can see the amount of thought he gave into the actual emotion of the film

I love how Nolan just stays observant throughout the conversation, shows everything he wanted to say has been said in his work and craft. Now he just stays quite as the rest conversate and takes in the art he crafted.

This interview is a brilliant example of wise facilitation of the group conversation by the interviewer, and every person respecting every other's space and spotlight. Total harmony and a natural flow of discussions. Beautiful.

one of my favourite interviews ever. u can just tell how passionate the cast is about this film and its so enjoyable to listen to them talk and laugh. the interviewer asked rly thought provoking questions and its just brilliant

Robert’s impersonation of Nolan was spot on 😂😂

I absolutely loved the interviewer and Matt Damon here !!! The enthusiasm both of them exhibited for the movie (her while asking astute and sharp questions and Matt while answering them)during the interview is infectious and clearly shows how invested all of them are... Matt's line of answering is captivating and forces the audience/viewers to think. Absolutely loved it.

Cillian Murphy = Oscar .

Emily Blunt is a stunning individual,a positive and humble actress.

Cillian sitting there smiling saying nothing. Literally me at social events.

Hats off to a gifted interviewer who balances the end of mankind with light hearted one liners: 'Glad to see you're still breathing, Cillian.'

It's impressive - to see such amazing people diligently working on something for several years, and now we have the chance to absorb 3 hours of this perfect content...

I love how Matt Damon had so much to say.. it already explains it's a great movie

You can see how intellectually passionate they are about this project. I can’t wait to see it in the theater.

What a great interviewer - she really elevated this conversation but kept it light and fun. Wow, the space between her words to capture the raw reactions of the actors themselves is so enjoyable. Way better than the typical press junket 10 minutes of rapid fire questions you often see online.

Oppenheimer, Inception and Interstellar are my fav Nolan movies. Truly immersive experience. Nobody is talking, on their phone. Just glued to the screen. Every second matters...

Christopher Nolan is nothing short of brilliant. Every time an actor/actress talks about him it’s always positive. I’m very excited to see Nolan and the rest of the cast take over the cinema world again.

I enjoy all of Emily Blunt's interviews. She is an incredible actress and just accessible to an audience without being crass and too much

Cilian is always so modest, down to Earth actor with so much talent

One of the best decisions is both the character and casting of Alden Ehrenreich as the Senate Aide and in a way playing a guide for the audience. His emotions are geniune and show what's hidden behind a simple smile from eager to sarcastic.

Great to see Cillian get this role. As a fellow Irish lad I'm so proud of our artists. Maith an fear a Cillian.

Cillian is going to win that Oscar

What a tremendous interview! Both the interviewer and the cast did a great job discussing the film and characters. This is one of the best films I have ever seen and is the culmination of the life’s work of one of the greatest directors of all time.

Interviewer is awesome, Nolan made an amazing movie, Cillian Murphy deserves an oscar.. And its also great to see the actors gushing about how awesome the movie is, they're so proud of each other for their respective roles in creating this masterpiece

Actors at the top of their game. What a great interview and conversation

Nolan wants us to stay informed and knowledgable. We want to be challenged by cinema at its very best. Masterpieces/ genius. Intellectual, instinctual and emotional.

Damn. This is the smoothest and most informative movie interview ive ever watched.

Awesome film. Incredible performances. Very insightful interview. Chris Nolan is just a tremendous presence. I have to give major props to Jacqueline Coley - just a great interview. Smart, funny, capable. Accomplishes being a professional AND being a fan brilliantly. This was a CLINIC on how do an interview like this with A listers while hitting all the necessary points and letting the stars share the stage equitably.......jacqueline Coley is a star!!

RDJ is so quick and witty
