Dwayne Johnson (A24)

JAKARTA - Director Christopher Nolan expressed his admiration for Dwayne Johnson's performance in the film The Smashing Machine. Although this film did not get a satisfactory box office figure, Johnson's acting as Mark Kerr drew a positive response.

"I think it was a great performance. I don't think you will find a better performance (from Dwayne Johnson) this year or any other years," Christopher Nolan said in the Hereafter The Director's Cut.

"Congratulations to the film. This is an impressive work result that will be understood more and more. I am proud to know you," he continued.

Nolan and Johnson have never worked together on any projects, but before they loved each other. Nolan has also admitted he is a fan of the Fast & Furious film franchise.

Director Benny Safdie, who made the film The Smashing Machine, reportedly made this film while filming Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

"I'm with rumors when you're supposed to be studying dialogue at the location, but you're inviting people to join your film," said Nolan.

"I wasn't aware at the time, but it felt like it was going well for you," he said.

One of the actors in the film Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt and Benny Safdie became the players in The Smashing Machine. Blunt then became Dwayne Johnson's co-star.
