During the London premiere of the highly anticipated film 'Oppenheimer,' some stars left early to join the picket lines in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
"It was very bittersweet to have the actors there supporting the film, and then understanding that they needed to then leave and go on strike," the film's writer and director, Christopher Nolan, told"CBS Mornings" in an interview that aired on Thursday.
Nolan is known for films including"The Dark Knight" trilogy,"Dunkirk" and"Interstellar." His latest creation,"Oppenheimer," has been described as his most impressive yet. It is scheduled to be released in theaters on Friday. "We knew the Trinity test had to be the showstopper. It's the key thing in the film. It had to have incredible beauty and incredible threat. It's difficult to make computer graphics threatening," he said.
In an emotional scene, Oppenheimer envisions the potential horrors of future nuclear explosions, portrayed through the face of Nolan's own daughter.
