Cillian Murphy reveals Christopher Nolan's special tradition

Cillian Murphy recently talked about why working with Christopher Nolan is a whole different experience.

The 47-year-old actor’s statement comes after he played the lead role in the filmmaker’s recent blockbuster Oppenheimer which also landed him a Best Actor nomination in the Oscars this year.

While speaking to GQ Magazine, Cillian revealed Christopher’s tradition of delivering film scripts personally to the actors which is transcripted on a special paper that can't be photocopied.

The actor shared that the eight-time Oscar nominated filmmaker flew to Ireland to hand him the 197pages-script which Cillian read immediately.

“So, like, it's been his mum who's delivered the script to me before. Or his brother; he'll go away and come back in three hours.  They've always done it this way, so why stop now? It does add a ritual to it, which I really appreciate. It suits me,” he told the outlet.

Additionally, he called Christopher’s film set “an intimate laboratory” and a “picnic,” simultaneously.

He continued: “Even though he works at a tremendous pace, there's always room for curiosity. There's no phones—but also no announcement: everybody just knows.And there's no chairs. Because he doesn't sit down. Sometimes a film set can be like a picnic.”
