Oppenheimer’s Long Version: Will There Be Deleted Scenes for Christopher Nolan’s Video Release?

This has become almost a must for most blockbusters during their promotion: revealing that the first part of the film was much longer than what we saw in theaters.

It makes a lot of sense because we’re talking canned scenes end-to-end before you decide on a quick one, especially on matters of pacing and narrative.

From John Wick 4 to Mission: Impossible 7, recent examples abound. But Oppenheimer is one of the exceptions. Christopher Nolan’s biopic on the father of the atomic bomb already clocks in at three hours and nine seconds, and it’s hard to imagine it going any longer.

But Collider He wanted to go all the way and asked Cillian Murphy: “There are no deleted scenes in Chris Nolan’s films”Answers by someone who has been a regular with the director since Batman started and therefore knows about the subject.

“That’s why there are no bonuses on the DVDs of his feature films, because the script is the finished film. He knows exactly what will end up in the edit – he’s not trying to change the story. It’s a film.”

However, the issue of bonuses is qualified. Because video releases of Christopher Nolan movies have them, even if they’re often featurettes rather than cut scenes. Including The Dark Knight Trilogy for a major studio production, even if fans could get some concept art into their mouths.

Out in our theaters on Wednesday, July 19th, Oppenheimer might offer bonuses for his approach to the screenplay (with its fragmented timeline and two opposing points of view) or the design of the trial atom sequence. But there should not be an unnecessary scene.
