A funny thing happened during DC Fandome yesterday when no one was really paying attention to anything other than DC Fandome: Warner Bros. released a final trailer for Christopher Nolan’s time-slipping espionage action epic, “Tenet.” Still, with all eyes on the DC superheroes, “Tenet” and its final trailer have almost garnered 3 million views on YouTube. Not too shabby.
One of the main highlights of the trailer, either than lots and lots of new footage, is Travis Scott’s original song, “The Plan,” that was recorded for the movie. Scott discussed Tenet in a recent interview with GQ. “I can’t even explain it,” Scott said of the film. “You literally just have to watch it. It’s very fire.”
In the same article, Nolan said Scott’s contribution to the soundtrack, “became the final piece of a yearlong puzzle,” the director said of Scott. “His insights into the musical and narrative mechanism [composer] Ludwig Göransson and I were building were immediate, insightful, and profound.”
OK, Christopher Nolan, huge Travis Scott fan, check. Nolan’s original sci-fi action spectacle “Tenet” stars John David Washington and like the trailers of the movie have told us a bunch of times, Washington’s Protagonist character is fighting for the survival of the entire world. He journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real-time. Not time travel, as many had guessed early on, but something else entirely. Something called Inversion which is more like time slippage or distortion.

The international cast of “Tenet” also includes Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Martin Donovan, Fiona Dourif, Yuri Kolokolnikov, Himesh Patel, Clémence Poésy, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, with Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh.
While “Tenet” won’t be playing across the entire U.S. in wide release—COVID-19 and the botched national response to the virus has assured us of that—Warner Bros has a section of their website showing cities where the movie will be available in. “Tenet” opens August 31 in “early access screenings” starting August 31- Sept 2 and then opens up in earnest, as wide as humanly possible (which probably can’t be that wide on September 3.
