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

JAPAN, JUN 28 – James Cameron calls Nolan's film a "moral cop-out" for avoiding the atomic bombings' aftermath and plans a film focused on the true human toll, citing over 135,000 deaths.

  • James Cameron criticized Christopher Nolan's 2023 film Oppenheimer as a moral cop-out for not showing the aftermath of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
  • Cameron based his critique on Nolan's choice to focus subjectively on Oppenheimer's experience, which Nolan confirmed in a November 2023 Variety interview.
  • Cameron is developing a film called Ghosts of Hiroshima, inspired by Charles Pellegrino's book, aiming to depict the full devastation of the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bomb.
  • Although Cameron has taken notes for 15 years, he has yet to write the script and wants to portray the events uncompromisingly, inspired by Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.
  • Cameron acknowledges Ghosts of Hiroshima may not reach Oppenheimer's mainstream success but pledges to tell the untold stories of nuclear war survivors directly and fully.
