00:03 - Time has been a factor in a lot of my films.

00:05 - Detonator's charged.

00:06 - As I like to say, well, I've always lived in it

00:09 and fascinated by it.

00:11 Very much enjoy stories that play with it in some way

00:13 or focus in on it.

00:15 - We're in a race against the Nazis

00:17 and I know what it means if the Nazis have a bomb.

00:20 - In the case of Oppenheimer,

00:22 the whole film is one big countdown

00:24 to this world-changing event.

00:26 - Are we saying there's a chance

00:28 that when we push that button, we destroy the world?

00:31 - And so time, the portrayal of time,

00:33 the importance of time to the characters in the story

00:36 is enormously important.

00:38 We've had a great experience working with Hamilton

00:45 in the past.

00:46 In the case of Oppenheimer,

00:47 it's really about recreating the history.

00:51 and what these characters would have worn at the time.

01:13 in combination with all of the costume work

01:15 and the prop work in the film

01:17 that becomes so important

01:18 to involving the audience in the story

01:20 in a world that they can recognize

01:23 and has a nice tactile, relatable sense to it.

01:26 But that is historically accurate.

01:29 - It's happening, isn't it?
