Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet'
@LightsCameraPod: Christopher Nolan's next project is a spy-related movie titled 'Tenet'.
It will star John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Clémence Poésy. The movie releases on July 17, 2020. https://twitter.com/LightsCameraPod/...014658/photo/1 https://variety.com/2019/film/news/c...gh-1203223474/ Casts Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Kenneth Branagh By*JUSTIN KROLL Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Kenneth Branagh will appear in*Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, “Tenet.” Clémence Poésy, Dimple Kapadia, Michael Caine are also joining the cast that includes John David Washington, Elizabeth Debicki, and Robert Pattinson. “Tenet,” which is being filmed on location across seven countries, is an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage. Nolan is directing from his own original screenplay and will use a mix of Imax and 70mm film to bring the story to the big screen. Nolan and his wife, Emma Thomas are producing the movie, while Thomas Hayslip is serving as executive producer. Nolan’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Jennifer Lame, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, and visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson. The score is being composed by Ludwig Göransson. Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing “Tenet” worldwide. It is scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2020. “Tenet” is Nolan’s follow-up to the Oscar-nominated war drama “Dunkirk.” That film became a huge box office hit, collecting $526 million in ticket sales across the globe. It also earned Nolan his first directing Oscar. Nolan’s acclaimed arsenal of work also includes “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Inception,” and “Interstellar.” |

Just finished it. I obviously have to read more on it to even come close to understanding what I watched but off my first watch.....it sucked. By far Nolan's worst movie. I don't think I've had a bad review of a Nolan movie until now. They may not be great, but they're never bad...until now.

Nolan kind of lucked out that covid kept Tenet from being released normally and that only a fraction of the people who would have originally saw it actually ended up seeing it. His reputation would have taken a huge hit if it was a normal wide release with full theaters.

This is absurd. The movie grossed $360 million during a pandemic and now, it's available on DVD/Blu Ray and Digital. It won't be long before it's on HBO Max as well. The distribution mechanism is irrelevant. If it's a bad movie, it's a bad movie. A movie theater doesn't make a bad film better. And Nolan has built a huge following worldwide so there's no way that one film that doesn't live up to expectations is suddenly going to ruin his reputation as a filmmaker. Again, your comments are absurd. |

This mirrors my experience. I got so bored I was falling asleep, and turned it off about 50-60 minutes into it-- and I wanted to like it. Maybe I'll go back and finish it, but I'll have to make it a conscious point of doing so. But likely not. |

I liked it overall. But admit it’s one of Nolan’s weaker efforts.
I liked it a lot up until about an hour and a half in. Once the car stuff chase started. Then it completely lost me. And the final battle just kinda had me bored. At least it was spectacle assault if you saw it in theaters. |

It's pretty rare for a filmmaker of Nolan's stature to have a perfect record at the box office and with the audience.
Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Clint Eastwood and Orson Wells, just to name a few, have all made amazing films, but they've also made films that failed to connect with the audience and critics. Their reputations were not "ruined" nor did they take "hit". Sometimes, it takes years or even a decade for people to "find" a film that had been discarded, only to become an all time classic years after the initial release. Christopher Nolan and his reputation are going nowhere. |

Everything isn't about revenue, it's about studios backing and associating with the best filmmakers of the day. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that Warner Brothers and/or any studio would love to work with M. Night, especially considering his last movie cost $20 million to produce while generating $247 million at the box office. That's an amazing ROI. |
