It sounds like it would be, but it's not a big film in the sense of an Avatar film.
It's not a four-year commitment.
It might be a one-year commitment.
So I needed to do that.
And so, you know.
I just think that we live in this world.
I mean, I think Catherine Bigelow's film title, it's kind of growing on me, The House of Dynamite.
It's like we live in a house.
Imagine you live in a house and you feel perfectly normal and you go about your business and you're chopping onions for the guacamole and you're going to watch your favorite show.
but the basement is filled with dynamite and it could go off at any moment.
That's the world that we live in, you know?
And that, it hits that metaphor.
And so it's not a metaphor, it's our world.
So I feel that we have a kind of a systematic forgetting of history, you know, just at that remove.
And we're enough removed from the event of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I think people need to be reminded what these weapons really are and what they really do.
Of course, the punchline of the movie is going to be the card at the end that says there are 12,000 nuclear warheads deployed in the world today.
Each one is 100 to 500 times more powerful than the one that destroyed Hiroshima.
And you're going to witness it and you're going to go through it with the main characters.
And it's not going to be pretty.
It might be a hard film to watch.
