Mike Fleming Jr: Why James Cameron Is Hellbent On Making ‘Ghosts Of Hiroshima’ Japan-Set Movie That Will Bring Nightmare Look At A-Bomb Blasts


Mike Fleming Jr: Why James Cameron Is Hellbent On 'Ghosts Of Hiroshima' Movie That Will Bring Nightmarish Look At WWII-Ending A-Bomb Blasts

Cinematic interest in the atomic and nuclear age has also been sky high as evidenced by the Christopher Nolan-directed Oppenheimer, which grossed $975 million and won seven Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director for Nolan and Best Actor prizes for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. Ghosts of Hiroshima tells the story from those on the business end of the unimaginably destructive blasts that turned Japan into a hell-scape and killed over 250,000, much more over time as the radiation ravaged the bodies of survivors. DEADLINE: Ghosts of Hiroshima is the first book I’ve read in awhile where you had to put it down here and there to absorb the enormity of what author Charles Pellegrino happened to those unfortunate enough to be within the blast radius.
