The fact that they filmed the whole movie in 57 days makes this even more incredible

What I love most about this movie is that I can literally ***see*** that the whole Nolan’s team was working at some heavenly level. Now seeing how it was built is just so amazing.

Crazy that there was no Oval Office set available to use, it must be one of the most reproduced locations in TV appearing in almost every political thriller.

Just bare in mind that if you take the total budget of this film and add Barbie’s total budget on top of it, both films combined cost less money to make than the Flash.
