We know that Christopher Nolan is a fan of preserving the theatrical experience. So, we should have guessed that he and Warner Bros. would surprise everyone and debut his the first teaser for his latest film, “Tenet,” in theaters only.
If you went out to see “Hobbs & Shaw” last night, you were likely lucky enough to be some of the only people to check out the first teaser for Nolan’s latest action film, “Tenet.” Normally, when studios release a teaser or a trailer, they will drop it online first, a couple of days before the footage hits theaters. Why would you want to only limit the people who check out the commercial for your film to people in theaters? Wouldn’t you want as many people to watch it as possible?
Well, if you’re Christopher Nolan, you find a way to even make the teaser a theatrical event.
We’re not going to link to the various bootleg recordings of the teaser here, but suffice to say if you want to find it on social media, you can. But the teaser is fairly basic, introduction what seems to be the film’s protagonist, played by John David Washington. The teaser features the messages, “Time has come for a new protagonist” and “Time has come for a new kind of mission.” Time is a word that is used quite a bit, as you can see, leading some to speculate that the supposed spy thriller could be a time-travel spy thriller. Hmmm.
Not much is known about “Tenet” at this time. However, we do know that Nolan’s latest sports one hell of a cast. Joining Washington are Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh, Clémence Poésy, Dimple Kapadia, and, of course, Michael Caine.
When the teaser arrives online, officially, you better believe we’ll rush it out to you guys. “Tenet” is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 17, 2020.
