Remember when it was rumoured Rob gifted Nolan a book on Oppenheimer’s speeches after they wrapped Tenet. Well here’s Christopher Nolan confirming that he did in fact receive the book as a gift from Rob and why Rob didn’t feature in his film “Oppenheimer” – “He was busy, he’s very much in demand these days”. Video starts at the spot where Nolan is asked about the book and why wasn’t Rob offered a role.

Full quote from Deadline:

“Yeah, Rob, off the back of Tenet, where we refer to Oppenheimer, and I had wrote a thing about this incredible moment that Oppenheimer and the scientist of the Manhattan Project had where they could not completely eliminate the possibility that when they triggered that first gadget, that first atomic device, they might start the chain reaction that would destroy the world,” Nolan said in an interview with journalist Tara Hitchcock.

Nolan continued, “We used that as a metaphor for Tenet, which Rob was in. As a wrap gift, he gave me a book of Oppenheimer‘s speeches from the 1950s, where you’re reading these great intellects trying to deal with the massive consequences of the way in which they’ve changed life forever, for all of us.”

Deadline has provided us with the date for the ceremony:

The 46th Annual Saturn Awards will take place at the L.A. Marriott Burbank Hotel on October 26, … This year’s show will be dedicated to the memory of Oscar-nominated actor Robert Forster (Jackie Brown, The Black Hole, Breaking Bad), along with all of the talented individuals who have lost their lives over the past year and a half.

You may recall that Robert Forster appeared as the Old Preacher in Damsel. More surprises are to be announced in the coming weeks – hope one of the surprises is Robs’ attendance. As usual, will update if more information comes to light about that.

Organisers are planning an awards ceremony later this year. I will update as soon as I know when.

I don’t think I posted any of this after DNEG won the Oscar for best special effects. Below is a snippet where Andrew Jackson of DNEG talks about Rob’s scene with the plane (you might even catch of some BTS Rob). If you are interested about the special effects you should head over and watch the full interview at BBC’s website.
