A bit from the Entertainment article:
“So, what can I not tell you about my movie?”
That’s writer-director
Christopher Nolan warming up to talk publicly for the very first time about his up-to-now supersecret new film
Tenet. The movie, out July 17, stars
John David Washington,
Robert Pattinson,
Elizabeth Debicki,
Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and
Kenneth Branagh, and has been officially, if somewhat unrevealingly, described as “an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.”
“We’re jumping off from the point of view of an espionage film, but we’re going to a number of different places,” explains the director of the blockbusters
Inception,
Interstellar,
Dunkirk, and the Christian Bale-starring Batman trilogy. “We’re crossing a few different genres in a hopefully exciting and fresh way. [Producer] Emma [Thomas] and I have put together a lot of large-scale productions, but this is certainly the biggest in terms of international reach. We shot in seven countries, all over the place, with a massive cast and huge set pieces. There’s no question, it’s the most ambitious film we’ve made.”
The director also reveals that Washington is “very much the hero” of
Tenet. “He’s a massively talented actor and physically gifted,” Nolan says of the
BlacKkKlansman star, who is a former professional football player. “He’s an athlete and pretty hard for anybody to keep up with, including the different vehicles we shot him from — cars and helicopters. [
