James Woods Says ‘Oppenheimer’ EP Credit Was Kept Quiet After It Was ‘Suggested’ His Pro-Trump Twitter Could Screw Up the Rollout: ‘It Was Painful…I Took One for the Team’
James Woods was an executive producer on Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," but his support for Donald Trump resulted in him not promoting the film.
James Woods recently told Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM radio show that he was “gently” asked not to promote Christopher Nolan’s “ Oppenheimer,” in which he served as an executive producer after buying rights to the non-fiction book (“American Prometheus” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin) upon which Nolan’s screenplay is based. Woods explained that he did not want the “Oppenheimer” team to have to deal with some “nutcase” coming out of the woodwork and making up stories about him and his conservative views (“I’ve had a million of them said, they’re all lies,” he added). The top prize was awarded to main producers Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas and Charles Roven.
