‘Oppenheimer’ Star Cillian Murphy Says Hollywood Film Press Tours Are A “Broken Model”: “Everybody Is So Bored”


Cillian Murphy is calling out press tours as he makes the rounds promoting 'Oppenheimer' ahead of the Oscars.

The actor said the silver lining of the SAG-AFTRA strike was that the press tours stopped, and Oppenheimer and Barbie were able to pull wins at the box office despite the lack of promotion. “The first three seasons there was no advertising, a tiny show on BBC Two; it just caught fire because people talked to each other about it.” Murphy also mentioned that he doesn’t watch his own films, particularly “the ones I hear are not good.” One movie he recalled that is not among his favorites is Wes Craven’s 2005 thriller Red Eye.
