James Cameron Takes Issue with Christopher Nolan's Approach in "Oppenheimer": It's a 'Moral Cop Out'

Marc Piasecki/Getty; JC Olivera/Variety via Getty James Cameron has agreed to make a film based on the upcoming bookGhosts of Hiroshima TheTitanicdirector said he wanted to follow the story of the victims of the 1945 atomic bombing He also criticized Christopher Nolan's 2023 blockbusterOppenheimer, calling it a "moral cop out" for not following the real-life victims James Cameronis planning his own film about the atomic bomb following the Oscar-winning success of writer and directorChristopher Nolan'sOppenheimer— but theTitanicdirector says his film will be very different. "Yeah…it's interesting what he stayed away from," Cameron, 70, toldDeadlineof Nolan, 54, when asked if he was surprisedOppenheimerwon seven Oscars and grossed nearly $1 billion. "Look, I love the filmmaking, but I did feel that it was a bit of a moral cop out." Cameron said he intends to make a film based off Charles Pellegrino's upcoming bookGhosts of Hiroshima,which highlights the brutal realities of the Hiroshima victims hit by the atom bomb in 1945. Of J. Robert Oppenheimer — the real-life physicist who helped create the atom bomb — Cameron said the man was well aware of the effects of his creation. "[Nolan's] got one brief scene in the film where we see — and I don't like to criticize another filmmaker's film — but there's only one brief moment where he sees some charred bodies in the audience and then the film goes on to show how it deeply moved him," Cameron noted. "But I felt that it dodged the subject. I don't know whether the studio or Chris felt that that was a third rail that they didn't want to touch, but I want to go straight at the third rail. I'm just stupid that way." Universal Pictures In a 2023 interview withVariety, Nolan acknowledged the criticism of his decision not to highlight the bomb's victims in his lengthy film. "The film presents Oppenheimer's experience subjectively," Nolan said at the time. "It was always my intention to rigidly stick to that. Oppenheimer heard about the bombing at the same time that the rest of the world did. I wanted to show somebody who is starting to gain a clearer picture of the unintended consequences of his actions. It was as much about what I don't show as what I show." When it comes to telling the victims' stories, Cameron said, "Okay, I'll put up my hand. I'll do it, Chris. No problem. You come to my premiere and say nice things." The bombs destroyed parts of Japan and killed more than 250,000 people, not to mention more over time as survivors died of the lasting effects of exposure. The dropping of the bombs is credited with ending World War II, and is the only time nuclear weapons have been used in armed conflict. "I don't want to get into the politics of, should it have been dropped, should they have done it, and all the bad things Japan did to warrant it, or any of that kind of moralizing and politicizing," Cameron explained. "I just want to deal in a sense with what happened, almost as if you could somehow be there and survive and see it." Kevin Winter/Getty As for his reason behind the decision to make the film, the Oscar winner believes the message is more important now than ever. "I just think it's so important right now for people to remember what these weapons do. This is the only case where they've been used against a human target," he said. "I want to make a film that just reminds people what these weapons do to people, and how absolutely unacceptable it is to even contemplate using them." Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE's free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. And while he's not using Nolan or his film as a guidepost, Cameron is looking to another blockbuster auteur for inspiration. "I want to do for what happened at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, what Steven Spielberg did with the Holocaust and D-Day withSaving Private Ryan," he said of the 1998 film, which won Best Picture. "He showed it the way it happened." Cameron is known for his blockbuster, budget-busting films likeTitanicand theAvatarfranchise, he doesn't intend to have theGhosts of Hiroshimafollow in those footsteps. "I don't think it'll be one that'll be quick to make, but I don't see it as a massively budgeted film," he said, adding that "This may be a movie that I make that makes the least of any movie I've ever made, because I'm not going to be sparing, I'm not going to be circumspect." Cameron is currently locked into writing and directingAvatars 3,4and5in the coming years.Avatar: Fire and Ash, the franchise's third installment is set to hit theaters Dec. 19, 2025 with more to follow.

On June 30, the Duchess of York, who is popularly known as Fergie, attended the first day of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. The Duchess of York, 65, arrived at the event with her daughter,Princess Beatriceas they took a prime seat in the Royal Box. Fergie and Princess Beatrice, 36, were animated fans in the stands as they watched the match between defending men's singles champion Carlos Alcaraz and Fabio Fognini on June 30. Karwai Tang/WireImage It was a meaningful day out for the mother-daughter duo, as Fergie is believed to have not sat in Wimbledon's Royal Box for 37 years — her last time being in 1988 alongside Princess Diana. While the Duchess was last photographed at the tournament in 2000, she reportedly hasn't attended since. The Duchess of Yorkpreviously told PEOPLEthat she and Diana, were "best friends from when I was 14 and she was 15," and credited the Princess of Wales with introducing her toPrince Andrew, whom she married in 1986 and divorced a decade later. Diana would have turned 64 on July 1. Professional Sport/Popperfoto via Getty Despite its regal name, the Royal Box at Wimbledon isn't reserved solely for royalty. While it's where All England Club patronKate Middletonand other members of the royal family are often seen during the tournament, invitations to sit there are extended by the club's chair — not the royals themselves. "British and overseas Royal Families are invited as well as heads of government, people from the world of tennis, commercial partners, British armed forces, prominent media organizations, supporters of British tennis and other walks of life," theWimbledon websitesays about how to score a seat. The courtside Royal Box has served as a VIP area since 1922 and includes access to a private clubhouse for lunch, along with a "smart" dress code. One specific rule stands out: no hats — so as not to block the view of the guest seated behind you!

U.S. revokes U.K. band's visas over anti-Israel chant at GlastonburyNew Foto - U.S. revokes U.K. band's visas over anti-Israel chant at Glastonbury

London— The BBC has said it regrets not pulling down its live stream of a performance at the Glastonbury music festival over the weekend that included what the broadcaster calls "utterly unacceptable" chants againstIsrael's military. The taxpayer-funded BBC said in a statement Monday that it regrets not cutting short its live streaming signal after punk-rap duo Bob Vylan started leading a chant of "Death, death to the IDF," during their Saturday performance, referring to the Israel Defense Forces. "The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence," thestatementfrom the broadcaster said. "The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves... The [BBC broadcasting] team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen." The BBC, which is CBS News' partner network in the U.K., quickly acknowledged that the language used on Saturday was "deeply offensive," but the network was criticized — including by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and members of his cabinet —— for not reacting more quickly after the chant started. Glastonbury festival's organizers also condemned the chant in a statement, saying: "Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence." The reaction from the Trump administration appeared to be significantly harsher, with Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landausaying in a social media poston Monday that U.S. entry visas already issued to Bob Vylan's members had been revoked "in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants." The band's website shows more than a dozen scheduled tour dates in the U.S., from coast to coast, starting in late October. "Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country," Landau said in the post. On Sunday, Bob Vylan posted a lengthy statement on theirInstagrampage, with the caption: "I said what I said." The duo, who use stage names and keep their identities anonymous, said their message was aimed at younger generations, whom they said should be shown how to fight for their own futures. "Let us display to them loudly and visibly the right thing to do when we want and need change," the band said. "Let them see us marching in the streets, campaigning on ground level, organizing online and shouting about it on any and every stage that we are offered." Local police have launched an investigation into the chants to determine whether any criminal offenses may have been committed. Glastonbury is a five-day music festival that takes place on a farm in the southwest of England. It is one of the largest music festivals anywhere in the world, drawing more than 200,000 ticketholders, and it generally takes place every other year as the organizers give the farm fields time to recover from the impact of so many revelers. The event is hosted and organized by the Eavis family, who still own the farm, and has been running for about 55 years. Bob Vylan's performance preceded that of Northern Irish rappers Kneecap, whose set the BBC did not air live due to previous instances at the group's concerts involving alleged comments supporting Hamas and Hezbollah andcalling for the death of Conservative party lawmakers. Kneecap's members have insisted that they "do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah." They sent "heartfelt apologies" to the families of two British lawmakers who were murdered in recent years after their remarks about Conservative parliamentarians.

France's Macron calls tariffs imposed by powerful countries a form of 'blackmail'New Foto - France's Macron calls tariffs imposed by powerful countries a form of 'blackmail'

(Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that tariffs levied by powerful countries were often a form of "blackmail" rather than instruments to rebalance trade. His comments during a speech at the International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville, Spain, came with the European Union negotiating a trade deal with the United States ahead of a July 9 deadline, though he did not specifically refer to the United States or U.S. President Donald Trump. "We need to restore freedom and equity to international trade, much more than barriers and tariffs, which are devised by the strongest, and which are often used as instruments of blackmail, not at all as instruments of rebalancing," Macron said. He also urged support - and a rethinking - of the World Trade Organization to bring it in line with goals to fight inequality and climate change. "Bringing back a trade war and tariffs at this moment in the life of the planet is an aberration, especially when I see the tariffs that are being imposed on countries that are just beginning their economic takeoff," Macron said. Trump unveiled sweeping global tariffs in April in which he said countries would face taxes on imports into the United States ranging from 10% to 50%, though he later reversed course and mostly lowered them for 90 days. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday rejected Macron's characterization, insisting that tariffs were an effective tool to rebuild U.S. manufacturing. She said Trump remained in discussions on trade to aid American workers. "Europe and the rest of the world might not be used to that, but President Trump is back in town and he's going to do what's right for our people and our country," she said. The United Nations trade agency had said the tariffs could have a catastrophic impact on developing countries, with some of the world's least developed, such as Lesotho, Cambodia, Laos, Madagascar and Myanmar, facing some of the highest levies. Macron, a vocal critic of Washington's tariff campaign, has also said it is an aberration to ask Europeans to spend more on defence while launching a trade war.

Key data used in hurricane forecasting will be cut by end of July, NOAA saysNew Foto - Key data used in hurricane forecasting will be cut by end of July, NOAA says

A satellite program that has historically been a key source of weather forecasting data will be discontinued by July 31, as the United States enters peak hurricane season, according to thealready resource-strappedNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The federal agency, which includes the National Weather Service, initially said last week that it was going to lose access to the satellite data by June 30. But in anupdateposted online on Monday, NOAA said the deadline to decommission the satellite system was pushed to July 31, at the request of a top official at NASA. Operated by the U.S. Department of Defense, theDefense Meteorological Satellite Programhas since the 1960s collected environmental information each day from satellites orbiting Earth, in order to provide real-time details about conditions in the atmosphere and oceans to the military. The data was made available to weather scientists for traditional forecasting purposes, after being processed by a branch of the Navy that focuses on meteorology and oceanography. Starting Aug. 1, that naval branch will no longer process or upload satellite data to the computing interface where meteorologists previously accessed it, according to NOAA. In an email that the agency reposted online, the deputy director of its Office of Satellite and Product Operations said the Navy decided to implement that change in efforts "to mitigate a significant cybersecurity risk" but would continue to distribute the data through the end of next month. A Navy spokesperson told CBS News in an email that it is "discontinuing contributions" to the satellite program "given the program no longer meets our information technology modernization requirements." NOAA spokesperson Kim Doster called it a "routine process of data rotation and replacement" in a statement to CBS News on Monday, adding that remaining data sources remaining "are fully capable of providing a complete suite of cutting-edge data and models that ensure the gold-standard weather forecasting the American people deserve." "The DMSP is a single dataset in a robust suite of hurricane forecasting and modeling tools in the NWS portfolio," said Doster, citing several other satellites that feed into the National Weather Service's forecasting models, including one launched recently that,accordingto the U.S. Space Force, "advances weather monitoring." The data cutoff from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program comes after NOAA lost a substantial chunk of its staff to layoffs and buyouts earlier this year, stemming from President Trump'sinitiative to reduce government spendingin part by shrinking the federal workforce. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30, and NOAA forecasters said in May that they expected this one to bemore active than an average year. The season typically reaches its "peak," its most active period, around August and September.

Legendary '90s Frontman, 63, Mocked for 'Comeback' Has Fans Eating Their Words With Latest ShowNew Foto - Legendary '90s Frontman, 63, Mocked for 'Comeback' Has Fans Eating Their Words With Latest Show

Legendary '90s Frontman, 63, Mocked for 'Comeback' Has Fans Eating Their Words With Latest Showoriginally appeared onParade. Years ago Guns N' Roses taught us that nothing lasts forever, but they likely didn't think that applied to their frontmanAxl Rose, 63, and his iconic high-pitched voice. When the rock band debuted, people were blown away by Rose's unique vocals and mind-blowing riffs by guitarist Slash, 59. However when the band decided to reunite on a world tour in May 2025, the frontman came under fire for "losing" his signature sound. In fact, he was dragged all over the internet, with people mocking his "Mickey Mouse" sound. Lately, fans have been hearing the "old" sound at their latest shows, forcing a few naysayers to eat their own words. "Genuinely think prime Axl could be making a return," one fan said. "I saw him at Wembley yesterday and he was so good it was insane his voice was great and Slash and all the band were so hyped," said another. A lot of folks showed empathy for the singer. His range, which was legendary, isn't sustainable for forever and no one should really be surprised it changed 30+ years later. While Rose has never confirmed vocal chord surgery, he has spoken about working with a vocal coach to manage his sound and ongoing health issues. Related: Former Guns N' Roses Manager Spills Wild Stories in New Book "I don't expect anyone to be as good at 63 as they were at 27," affirmed a long-time fan. "You guys do realize that he is 63 years old and obviously isn't going to be as good as he was when he was younger? The videos don't do his voice justice he sounds brilliant live," affirmed another. Currently GNR is touring in Europe but they come back stateside for a few shows in August. Here's to hoping Rose has many more moments of "clarity" as the tour goes on. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Legendary '90s Frontman, 63, Mocked for 'Comeback' Has Fans Eating Their Words With Latest Showfirst appeared on Parade on Jun 30, 2025 This story was originally reported byParadeon Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.
