First full-length Tenet trailers plays with time. Naturally.
Christopher Nolan is one of few directors who immediately guarantees butts in theater seats. His upcoming time-bending movie Tenet has been teased and tantalized, and the first full-length trailer just debuted.
Plot details are subtly hinted at, as is Nolan’s style, but the over-arching picture is far from painted after the first trailer. After all, part of enjoying a modern Christopher Nolan movie is unraveling the mystery.
Check out the first full-length trailer Tenet:
Someone on Reddit pointed out that Tenet is Nolan’s third movie to usher in a new decade. Memento officially screened in 2000, believe it or not Inception came out summer of 2010, and now Tenet hits theaters mid-2020. Not a bad way to celebrate another decade!
Officially, no plot synopsis for Tenet has been released. The first trailer hints at something to do with time and a team of people who play with it. Online film and sci-fi buffs are calling what we see localized time manipulation, which makes sense. The ability to rewind and fast-forward through time, but localized to a specific location or object, is an intriguing and exciting concept to navigate. Especially if Nolan is behind the wheel.
Much is also being made of the absence of composer Hans Zimmer, a frequent Nolan collaborator. Instead, Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther, Creed, The Mandalorian) is delivering the haunting dulcet tones we hear in the trailer.
Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Caine, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Martin Donovan, Andrew Howard, Clémence Poésy, and Himesh Patel. The movie hits theaters on July 17, 2020.
