Overview
- Cameron told Deadline that Oppenheimer features just one brief montage of charred bodies before shifting focus, a choice he labeled “a moral cop-out.”
- Nolan has defended his film’s limited aftermath depiction as faithful to Oppenheimer’s subjective viewpoint during the bombing.
- Ghosts of Hiroshima will adapt Charles Pellegrino’s survivor-centered book through extensive interviews to capture the bombing’s full human impact.
- Cameron says he will avoid debating whether the bomb should have been dropped and will instead serve as a neutral witness to what actually happened.
- The new film is timed for release ahead of the bombing’s 80th anniversary to reinforce public remembrance of the consequences of nuclear weapons.
