Christopher Nolan is celebrating the home video release of "Oppenheimer" by looking back at the film's surprisingly successful theatrical run — and what it may mean for Hollywood. No one in the industry expected that a long, talky, R-rated drama released at the height of the summer movie season would earn over $900 million at the box office. "It was really fun, really cool to see that payoff," the writer-director says.

Nolan sat down with The AP's Krysta Fauria for an interview in which he deflected Bond rumors, called the Hollywood strikes "a very necessary realignment" — and considered the future of artificial intelligence in filmmaking.
