Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy and Florence Pugh starred as a daring love triangle in Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster. In the film, we had the opportunity to watch their interactions several times, the power of which can easily be compared to atomic force. In the production, we were also supposed to watch a scene in which Blunt (Kitty Oppenheimer) uses violence to let Murphy (J. Robert Oppenheimer) know what he thinks about his affair with Pugh (Jean Tatlock). Behind the brutality is, of course, Nolan himself, which the actress tried to explain in the latest interview with “The Sun”.
“Oppenheimer”. Emily Blunt pleads guilty to beating up Cillian Murphy
Emily Blunt plays a betrayed wife in “Oppenheimer”, who at some point finds out that there are three of them in the marriage. In an interview with “” the actress said that among the scenes she shot there was one in which her character furiously hits and pulls her cheating husband.
I’m sorry about your cheeks, Cillian. Poor guy. Chris [Christopher Nolan, przyp.red.] he told me, “Hit him!” he said. I wasn’t convinced about it. But Cillian also said “Come on, do it, do it” and Chris added “He’ll be fine, come on!” I slapped him in the face and grabbed his shirt. We did this shot like ten times. His cheek was getting more and more expressive… And then this scene wasn’t in the movie anyway! – concluded Emily Blunt.
“Oppenheimer” is Christopher Nolan’s longest film so far. It is known that not all scenes made it to the final cinematic version. Unfortunately, there is not good news here for the director’s fans. The deleted scenes – including the one with Blunt, which the actress talked about – will never be seen. Cillian Murphy confirmed last August that Nolan never intended to show excess scenes.
There are no deleted shots. They are not included in any extras on the DVD because our script is our film. Christopher Nolan knows where he’s going from start to finish. He doesn’t bother with additional shots that could change his story. It’s his film, said Cillian Murphy in an interview with Collider.
As you can see, additional shots may have been taken, but this does not change the fact that we will never receive a director’s cut of “Oppenheimer”. For comparison, Peter Jackson had over 120 hours (!) of recordings for “The Lord of the Rings”, which he “shortened” to 12 hours of films in the director’s cut and nine hours in the cinema version.
