The director revealed to The Telegraph UK that his daughter, college-age Flora Nolan, has been cast as an unidentified woman. The film describes the woman as having "harrowing, gut-wrenching visions of flesh being ripped from her face." A piercing white light from an atomic bomb. Cillian Murphy plays J. Robert Oppenheimer, a nuclear weapons scientist.
"I needed someone to play a small part of an experimental, spontaneous sequence. It was great to be able to do that," Nolan said of casting Flora, a student at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. . (Flora Nolan is listed as a burn victim on IMDb and also appeared briefly in Nolan's 2014 film Interstellar.
"I don't want you to look like Michael Powell in Peeping Tom," the "Tenet" director went on to say about Powell's casting of his 9-year-old son as a child version of the serial killer. In the 1960 classic "But yeah, I mean, well, you're not wrong. To be honest, I try not to analyze my intentions."
"But the thing is, when you create the ultimate destructive power, it destroys the people you care about. So that's the strongest possible word for me," Nolan added. I think you said it.
Nolan recently addressed his children in an article in The Hollywood Reporter, admitting that he does not own a smartphone. "My kids would probably say I'm quite the Luddite," Nolan says. "Actually, I'm not comfortable with that explanation. I think the technology and what it can offer is great. It's my personal choice how much I get involved."
"It's a level of distraction," said the "Memorial" creator. If you're creating content or writing your own screenplay, being on a smartphone all day doesn't do much for me.
Nolan also teased that Oppenheimer's ending would mirror Incepti's elusive ending.
