Christopher Nolan has always been seen as a visionary director with a drive to further explore movies and movie-making. But deep down, there is a fun part to Nolan that people have seen very few times.
Well, Stephen Colbert made it a reality for the world to see when he recreated a scene from Oppenheimer with Christopher Nolan working behind the camera. Creating a hilarious moment, Colbert was seen chasing Nolan as the director ran away from Colbert because he was messing around!
Christopher Nolan Recreated An Oppenheimer Scene With Stephen Colbert!
Showcasing his funny sides in one of the rare things seen on Christopher Nolan’s face, he and Stephen Colbert left no stone unturned in recreating an iconic scene from Nolan’s 2023 magnum opus Oppenheimer.
When Cillian Murphy stares into oblivion thinking about the consequences of his actions, the camera zooms in highly on Murphy’s face. Well, Stephen Colbert and Nolan decided to recreate that scene but with a little twist. Christopher Nolan had the weather control in his hand.
As Colbert wears the iconic hat and the colors are black and white, menacing music plays in the background. Colbert realizes that rain has started falling, and he looks to his left and yells, “Damn it, Chris,” as the director puts the hose down, showering Colbert. As the comedian sighs, Nolan splashes his face in water, and Colbert yells, “You son of a b*tch,” and chases the director! Check out the recreation below.

Well, it is truly an iconic sight to see Christopher Nolan running and taking part in skits. Kudos to his acting skills as the way that he said “sorry” was enough to get a laugh out of the people. In a separate interview, Chris Nolan talked about what it was like watching Steven Spielberg watch his film!
When Steven Spielberg Watched Oppenheimer With Christopher Nolan
From liking the Fast & Furious franchise to creating a complex movie as Tenet, Christopher Nolan is quite an enigma who is yet to be deciphered. The Inception director revealed in an interview with Variety that it was quite irresistible for him not to see Steven Spielberg watching his film and reviewing it, and that’s exactly what he did.
“He had called me about something else and I had just got the print as well and I hadn’t shown it to anyone…we screened it for him on his own. I sat behind him and watched him watch the film.”
He further continued,
“It was an extraordinary experience. He said some very kind things, but really just to watch him watch. I wasn’t even supposed to watch it with him, but seeing the great master watching? It was sort of irresistible.”
Nolan has received rave reviews for his 2023 magnum opus as Oppenheimer went on to earn $957 million at the global box office. The film is not yet available for streaming but is available to rent/buy on Apple TV+ in the U.S.
