“I think it’s the best script I ever read,” Murphy says. The script was written entirely in the first person. “[Nolan] just said he wanted everything to be seen through the eyes of Oppenheimer,” the actor adds.

Understandably, portraying such an elaborately brilliant mind had its challenges. “With that intellect — which I think can actually be a burden — you’re not seeing stuff in the normal plane that we do. Everything is multifaceted and about to collapse. It’d be a terrible way to buy milk or cut the grass, I’d say.”

From TOTAL FILM Interview:

Murphy says that he was never going to do an impersonation of the real Oppenheimer,
...but it was very helpful to me to find that silhouette, to be able to embrace the iconography of him, which was the hat and the pipe, and certainly the cut of his suits, and to try to find a physical shape that would make that as iconic as [he was in real life]. Because he was very conscious about that. It wasn’t by accident. He chose that look for himself.
This is really exciting stuff. And once again I start researching J. Robert Oppenheimer's real pictures and the resemblance is just so subtle and arresting. Cillian is gonna slam it.

“Cillian is just flat-out incredible in this movie, the whole thing really rests on his shoulders. It’s a remarkable performance, I can’t wait for people to just see that,” says Damon. “But the truth is as important as the subject matter is, it’s really fun working with Chris! He’s so good at what he does that it just a really enjoyable experience and for me as a lifelong filmmaker, just to be able to watch him make decisions under pressure is really, it’s about as fun as it gets for me at work. I’m looking forward to seeing how people react to the movie, I had a chance to see it recently and I was really blown away, I’m excited for everyone to see it.”
