Director Nolan appeared on stage at the Oppenheimer event in Los Angeles. Regarding the Blu-ray version, he said that he was careful to create a visual experience comparable to the theatrical release version, and added, ``This is a version of the Blu-ray version that you can own and keep on your shelf, and the evil streaming We're trying to make sure the service doesn't steal it.'
This comment was picked up by the movie information site Variety in the form of ``Christopher Nolan: ``Buy Oppenheimer's Blu-ray and avoid evil streaming services.''

Later, director Nolan spoke with Giada Yuan, who wrote a book about the behind-the-scenes stories of 'Oppenheimer.' Regarding the above remark being published in an article, he said, ``I said it as a joke, but once it's posted online, it's no longer a joke.''
However, it is true that director Nolan is keeping a strict eye on streaming services, and in a conversation with Yuan he said, ``There is a risk that works that are only available for streaming may suddenly become unwatchable or start streaming again. 'Yes,' he said, referring to the fact that works cannot be viewed freely like Blu-ray.
As an example, Variety uses the original Disney+ movie ``Towards the Crater''.

'Aiming for the Crater' began distribution on Disney+ on May 12, 2023, but was removed on June 30, 2023, and no one can watch it before the Blu-ray release. . Distribution has since resumed on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, etc. from September 2023.

In addition, director Guillermo del Toro, known for works such as ``Pacific Rim'' and ``The Shape of Water,'' responded to director Nolan's remarks. 'Physical media is almost as mandatory as the sci-fi novel

By the way, in this conversation, director Nolan mentioned the strike carried out by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA). The agreement was made to pay a fixed percentage of revenue from streaming content to SAG-AFTRA union members, which was evaluated as a modification made in response to the ``age of distribution.''
