Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon

Matt Damon said that filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer runs a hefty three hours long. On the red carpet for Air, in which he co-stars, Damon also talked about Nolan's upcoming historic drama in which he appears alongside Cillian Murphy. "It's three hours. It's fantastic," Damon said, revealing that he has seen Oppenheimer. The actor added, "Cillian is phenomenal. He is everything you would want him to be. I think it's almost three hours. It goes so fast, it's great."

Directed by Ben Affleck, Air stars Damon as Sonny Velasco, who led Nike to pursue the endorsement of Michael Jordan and the creation of the Air Jordan basketball sneakers. Air opens on April 5 and co-stars Affleck, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman and Chris Messina.
