James Cameron Says Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Was 'Moral Cop Out'


James Cameron addressed Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, saying that the film was a 'moral cop out' due to a lack of certain scenes.

After Christopher Nolan ’s Oppenheimer broke records at the box office, James Cameron is working on a nuclear war film of his own — and he’s taking a different approach. While discussing his plan to direct a film about the atomic bomb based on Charles Pellegrino’s upcoming book, Ghosts of Hiroshima, Cameron, 70, said he was surprised by some of Nolan’s decisions regarding scenes that were not explored in Oppenheimer. “Yeah … it’s interesting what he stayed away from,” Cameron told Deadline on Friday, June 27, when asked if he was shocked by Oppenheimer’s global success and Oscar wins despite not touching on the stories of those who were affected by the atomic bombs.
