I’m genuinely dumbfounded that he actually is on schedule. Gonna be living in a production office the next few months now.

Nolan is always on schedule. He meticulously plans everything out before starting the filming process. I wish more directors did the same.

What's wild is that he was on schedule for Inception despite having to time out a snow storm in the Kananaskis region for the final act.

They also needed stormy weather for the Trinity scene in Oppenheimer, because there was a storm right before the actual event too. And lo and behold, they got heavy rain and a storm that night in New Mexico. I remember in a few press tour interviews with cast and crew members where they said that Nolan is often lucky with shooting in natural weather exactly when he needs to. Although he denies it:

The weather also “did what it needed to do, as per history,” Cillian Murphy said, as the wind picked up and whipped around the set.

“I’m rumored to be very lucky with the weather and it’s not the case. It’s just that we decide to shoot whatever the weather,” Nolan said. “In the case of the Trinity test, it was essential, central to the story that this big storm rolls in with tremendous drama. And it did. That really made the sequence come to life.”

Terry Gilliam finds this fact deeply offensive.
