Margot Robbie Told Cillian Murphy During The Interview That An Oppenheimer Producer Asked For Barbie To Move Its Release
Robbie and Murphy discussed their epic hits, in what was called "Barbenheimer." Robbie told Cillian quite the story about how she was advised to push back the Barbie release, so that it wouldn't conflict with the Oppenheimer release date.
Robbie revealed, "One of your producers, Chuck Roven, called me, because we worked together on some other projects. And he was like, “I think you guys should move your date.” And I was like, “We’re not moving our date. If you’re scared to be up against us, then you move your date.” And he’s like, “We’re not moving our date. I just think it’d be better for you to move.” And I was like, “We’re not moving!” I think this is a really great pairing, actually. It’s a perfect double billing, “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie.”
Murphy praised Robbie for her good instinct. It resulted in huge success for both films.
Margot continues, "Clearly the world agreed. Thank God. The fact that people were going and being like, “Oh, watch ‘Oppenheimer’ first, then ‘Barbie.’” I was like, “See? People like everything.” People are weird."
Murphy agreed that fans don't like to be told what to do, and it was the correct decision, ultimately.
Margot Robbie Asked Cillian Murphy About His Relationship With Christopher Nolan
Margot Robbie took time to ask Murphy some questions as well, despite his giving and humble ways. Murphy was asked about his connection with Christopher Noaln, given that the two had worked on six films together.
Murphy admitted his experience with Oppenheimer was a different one.
"It seems to work. This is the first time playing a proper lead role for him. There’d always been supporting parts over the years — it’s 20 years we’re working together. Emma Thomas, his wife, the producer, she called me because Chris doesn’t have a phone. So she put me on to Chris, and he said in his very understated British way, “I’m making this movie of Oppenheimer — I’d like you to play the part.”
Cillian continues, "I had just finished something; I wasn’t doing anything. I did realize then that it was different than the other jobs I’d done with him, because it was the story of Oppenheimer’s life. And then when he eventually gave me the script, it was written in the first person, which I’d never read before."
The duo continues to shine together, and fans are hoping to see more of Nolan and Murphy in the future.
