New Synopsis For TENET, John David Washington Asked Christopher Nolan about the Plot Every Day, and New Magazine Covers
Last week Warner Bros. dropped a new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated film Tenet. That trailer did reveal some new details about the story, but there’s still a little confusion about what this movie is about. Well, today we have a new synopsis to share with you for the movie, and it doesn’t really clear any confusion up either! It reads:
"Armed with only one word – Tenet – and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion."
This whole inversion things is what makes this film interesting. It’s also the thing that is confusing a lot of people. They have been making it very clear that this is not a time travel movie, it’s about inversion, and how that seems to be a specialty that John David Washington’s character has in the film. We know things around him are happening in reverse, but what does that all mean!? Why the hell does he have this strange ability? Well, Washington had to ask Nolan every day about the story because while he was shooting it, he didn’t seem to know what was going on either!
Washington had this to say to Geoff Keighley during a trailer reveal hosted on Fortnite:
"Every day I had questions for him. But he was very gracious, and he answered them very calmly and patiently. It was important that the actors could track the story correctly so we could tell it the best way we could, and he was very patient with us. I say that very politely [laughs].
"Really, it's interesting, because there are just little nuggets of information and just breadcrumbs of information about the movie that I'm surprised [Nolan] was willing to reveal. And I love that he did."
Tenet has been described as a “mind-blowing espionage thriller so unique that audiences will puzzle over its intricacies for years to come.” It’s also said to be a “time-bending masterpiece” about a Quantum Cold War.
We also have a couple of Total Film magazine covers to share with you. The studio is obviously ramping up the marketing for the film’s theatrical release, which is seemingly still July 17th because the studio hasn’t said otherwise.
