The visual effects house behind Oppenheimer, DNEG, recently addressed reports it plans to make substantial cuts to employees’ pay.DNEG responded to the reported pay cuts, which are allegedly as high as 25%, in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “We are continuously and proactively reviewing all areas of our business to ensure that we can continue to deliver the highest quality work while protecting as many of our employees’ positions as possible,” the statement read, in part. “In order to do that, we’ve asked employees and team members earning above certain salary thresholds, including the most senior executives and creative leaders, to assume short-term pay cuts that will enable us to maintain the maximum number of jobs through this period.”While the pay cuts and other cost-cutting measures planned by DNEG aren’t directly related to Oppenheimer itself, this isn’t the first time Christopher Nolan’s biopic has been linked to VFX-related controversy. Notably, VFX supervisor Andrew Jackson recently debunked persistent claims that Oppenheimer only used practical effects to achieve its striking visuals, noting that the movie includes approximately 200 visual effects shots. Jackson added that Oppenheimer’s VFX-free reputation was likely the result of news outlets misinterpreting Nolan’s comments about the blockbuster’s lack of entirely computer-generated imagery.Related: Barbenheimer Fuels Hollywood’s Best Summer Box Office Return Since 2019
