Christopher Nolan will not make a film until the strike is over

Director says he is "putting his career on pause"
"Oppenheimer" creator Christopher Nolan is suspending all his activities as a director and screenwriter until all the strikes that have rocked the US entertainment industry are over.

"It's very important that everybody realises that this is a very key moment in the relationship between working people and Hollywood. It's not about me, it's not about the stars of my film. Again. It's not about me, and it's not about the stars of my film," Christopher Nolan avowed.

The premiere of "Oppenheimer" in London was held without the cast
When Christopher Nolan took the stage at the London premiere of "Oppenheimer," he admitted that the cast had to leave "to write their picket signs."

"I have to recognise the work of our incredible cast, led by Cillian Murphy," the director said, "The list is huge - Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Kenneth Branagh, Rami Malek and many more. You've seen them here before, on the red carpet. Sadly, they've gone to write their posters as we consider an imminent strike by the Screen Actors Guild, which will now join one of my guilds, the screenwriters, in fighting for fair wages for working union members."

"Oppenheimer" will be released on 21 July 2023.
