Interstellar and The Dark Knight filmmaker Christopher Nolan has revealed the scene he is proudest of in his career to date.

Speaking at the Tribeca Film Festival, Nolan revealed that the opening scene in The Dark Knight Rises was a particularly proud moment for him.

The scene, which stars Aidan Gillen and introduced the character of Bane (Tom Hardy), was scheduled to shoot over five days, but was completed in just two and involved a real plane being dropped from the sky.

Nolan said of the sequence: "It was sort of an incredible coming together of lots and lots of planning by a lot of members of the team who worked for months rehearsing all these parachute jumps."

He previously told Business Insider of the scene: "I was amazed at what the team achieved using various old-fashioned methods. I was very proud of how that came together."
