I’d rephrase it like this: Christopher Nolan shot BATMAN BEGINS (2005) entirely on 35mm film and has never embraced digital cameras for his features. As he told American Cinematographer, “Film is the best way to capture the texture & gravity of light.”

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.

Christopher Nolan explains why he doesn't do a digital color grade for his films and relies entirely on analog method. The film is assembled by humans (physically cut), color timed by humans, and ultimately projected by humans in IMAX 70MM. Some people are saying that it is the best demonstration of "f*ck AI filmmaking."

Christopher Nolan convinced IMAX engineers to completely redesign their cameras just so he could film The Odyssey. "I called my friends at IMAX and I said, 'If ever we're going to make a film entirely in IMAX, this is The Odyssey. So, can you find a way to alleviate the limiting factor?'" "The limiting factor being the cameras are extremely loud." "We've never been able to capture dramatic scenes with an IMAX camera." "What they did is they came up with a way of blimping the camera." "Essentially a high-tech box that you put the camera into and it silences it." "It let us, for the first time ever, get the quiet scenes... and therefore be able to do the whole film."

Christian Bale who normally weighed around 80kg, had to reduce his weight to 54kg for his role in "The Machinist" (2004). He had to increase his weight to play Batman in "Batman Begins" (2005). To increase his weight, He was lifting really heavy weights and just stuffing so much into his mouth. His body was under so much pressure that he could feel it. To fill out his Batman suit, Bale stuffed himself with food and when he was not eating, he was in the gym. His doctor said to him, 'You are going nuts. You have to slow down'." But when he arrived on the set of 'Batman Begins', he was 100kg, well overweight. According to Bale, Nolan had no idea who Bale was when he arrived to the set with his long hair. "When Nolan got close he was like 'Holy f... You look like Grizzly Adams. What's going on?'" Nolan then asked him to get a little leaner. Michael Caine was stunned too, especially after seeing him as a young man in "The Machinist" & "American Psycho". He felt Bale looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Some of the English members in the crew joked, "'Hey Chris, what film are we making here? Fatman?'." ("Bale turns to fatman", Sydney Morning Herald, 2005) P.S: On this day, 21 years ago, Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins" (2005) premiered in Tokyo, Japan.

The Dark Knight is Christopher Nolan’s best film & it might be his best script too. This scene between Michael Caine & Christian Bale has always stayed with me because of the stoicism Alfred imparts on Bruce & the way in which he turns the tables around on Bruce. Moments between Bale & Caine throughout this franchise are unforgettable. I’m so ready for new Nolan.
