In Oppenheimer, Rami Malek plays a scientist and that's all we can know for now. "I take my hat off for the elegant way he found to tell a story about the manufacture of the atomic bomb. It could have been, I can't find the word, not unelegant, but..." And there he stops, in the middle of the sentence. Look for the right word. Keep looking, you can't find it and my suggestions don't help you. That corrodes him. The pause looks like it's going to last forever - according to my tape recorder, three whole minutes. "What is the word? It's going to come to me later, that kills me. I wish I could tell you more about the movie, but I'm great at keeping secrets," he says.
Rami describes the intense and calculated atmosphere on the director's set: "He is one of the most elegant people you will be able to see, always in a suit and tie. He is a brilliant mind and, at the same time, a collaborator who moves very quickly. Something I love is that you don't come and go from the trailer between takes and takes."
