As we’ve watched the United States struggle—maddeningly, tragically—with COVID-19, the news that Warner Bros. is delaying Tenet‘s theatrical release date indefinitely is sad but inevitable news.

Christopher Nolan‘s movies have always been robust. His last theatrical release, the brilliant World War II drama Dunkirk, was a very brisk 1 hour and 46 minutes long.

Expect the Unexpected in Christopher Nolan’s Tenet

It’s looking increasingly possible that movie theaters will re-open—with new codes of conduct in place for dealing with the still-present coronavirus—in time for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet to hit its July 17 release date. A Nolan film is always an event, but a Nolan film serving as the first major blockbuster to screen since the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered productions across the globe? That’s wild. And as we’ve written here before, the blessedly little we do know about Tenet has reinforced the notion that Nolan is going for something in the spirit of his 2010 sci-fi epic Inception,

New Tenet TV Spot Highlights Christopher Nolan’s Pledge to Go “Somewhere New”

When discussing the spy genre, within which Christopher Nolan’s new film Tenet is situated, the writer/director told Total Film (via IndieWire) that it’s “totally in my bones.” Therefore, while making Tenet, Nolan broke his own tradition; he didn’t have his cast screen the films that inspired the one they were working on. “And the reason was, I think we all have the spy genre so in our bones and in our fingertips,”

Why Christopher Nolan Used a Real Plane For an Epic Stunt in Tenet

When Warner Bros. dropped the new trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s Tenet last Friday, we were, to put it mildly, enthused. Nolan’s latest is a sci-fi epic on the scale of his brilliant, beguiling 2010 dreams-within-dreams caper Inception. In fact, according to star John David Washington, Tenet is even bigger. In an interview on Twitch TV on the gaming platform Fortnite, Washington said Tenet was far ahead of even Nolan’s past features:  “We’re familiar with [Nolan’s] films,

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet Secretly Debuts Trailer Before Hobbs & Shaw

There are few filmmakers working today who revel in mystery as much as Christopher Nolan. He’s got company, for sure. The Russo Brothers go out of their way to toy with Marvel-heads before their big releases like Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. J.J.
