He actually never wanted to do something that looks cheaper compared to the project at hand, the movie. I read the documentary too when the press was interviewing him

The jaw-dropping plane crash scene in ‘Tenet’ was done using a real Boeing 747, not CGI. Director Christopher Nolan originally planned to use visual effects, but realized it would actually be cheaper and more realistic to crash a real plane into the building. The production bought a decommissioned aircraft and filmed the crash practically in a single massive stunt. The result became one of the most ambitious and visually stunning practical effects ever put on screen. ✈️💥🎬

The Boeing crash scene in Tenet (2020) is Christopher Nolan doing blockbuster spectacle the hard way. Instead of CGI, production actually crashed a real 747 into a building, which somehow makes the whole sequence feel even more absurd on screen.

For Interstellar, Christopher Nolan planted 500 acres of real corn because he didn’t want to CGI Cooper’s farm. After filming, the production sold the corn harvest and turned a $62,000 profit on it, helping offset the cost of growing it.

The highway chase in TENET (2020) remains one of Christopher Nolan’s most absurd achievements. A sequence built around cars moving both forward and backward through time sounds impossible on paper, yet Nolan somehow filmed it for real and made it work.

Christopher Nolan Explains Why He Doesn’t Use CGI and Shoots on IMAX Robert Downey Jr.: Why Christopher Nolan doesn’t use CGI. Christopher Nolan: I find CGI, however versatile it is, but it always tends to feel a little safe to me. Christopher Nolan: I think if you want something to have a bit of bite, you’ve got the imagery to a better threat, even if it’s a miniature, even if it’s something very fake, but something real on camera. Christopher Nolan: I think it gives you a better result. Robert Downey Jr.: Why does Christopher Nolan shoot on film? Christopher Nolan: I shoot on film because it’s the highest quality imaging format ever devised, particularly IMAX film, large-format film. Christopher Nolan: Film shows you the world kind of the way your eye sees it. Robert Downey Jr.: Where does Christopher Nolan get his ideas? Christopher Nolan: All over the place. Different on every film. Christopher Nolan: Oppenheimer, I’d been interested in a long time, didn’t know that much about the specifics of his story, then came to the book American Prometheus, and that absolutely got me hooked. Christopher Nolan: So, in the case of Oppenheimer, the idea… I trace it right back to, like, as a kid in the eighties, and we all thought we were gonna die in nuclear Armageddon. Robert Downey Jr.: Absolutely. Me too.

For Tenet (2020), Christopher Nolan avoided CGI for the chase — real cars and fast reverse driving. The 8 km highway scene was filmed twice: once forward & once in reverse, then stitched together. Stunt drivers even trained to drive backward at 60 mph.

The Boeing 747-400 was the best-selling variant of the 747 program and became the model most people associate with the "Queen of the Skies." Dominating long-haul travel for decades, it was the most successful 747 ever built and, for many, the best-looking version. Its global presence made it the definitive image of the 747.

And speaking on Tenet and crashing "real planes" for movies... This scene from 1985´s "White Knights". These are actually two aircraft: an Aer Lingus disguised B-747 for the flying shots and an ex-SAA 707 mocked-up - including a fake hump - for the impact.

Christopher Nolan’s first choice for Batman was actually Josh Hartnett, but he declined because it’d be long-term franchise. Nolan then cast Christian Bale because “He has absolute charm and then, just like that, can turn it into ice-cold ruthlessness.”
