Cillian Murphy recently explained why working with Christopher Nolan is a completely different experience.
The 47-year-old actor’s declaration follows his main part in the filmmaker’s recent hit Oppenheimer, which earned him an Oscar nod for Best Actor this year.
While speaking with GQ Magazine, Cillian disclosed Christopher’s custom of personally delivering film scripts to actors, which are transcripted on special paper that cannot be photocopied.
The actor revealed that the eight-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker flew to Ireland to present him the 197-page script, which Cillian read quickly.

“So, like, it was his mother that handed the script to me earlier. Or his brother; he will go.
He’ll go and return in three hours. They’ve always done things this way, so why change now? It does bring a ritual element to it, which I greatly love. “It suits me,” he told the publication.
He also referred to Christopher’s film set as both “an intimate laboratory” and “a picnic.”
He continued, “Even though he works at a breakneck pace, there is always enough for inquiry. There are no phones, but there is also no announcement: everyone already knows.And there are no chairs. Because he does not sit down. Sometimes a film set is like a picnic.”
