I have already ordered several movie tickets myself for next week once cinemas reopen in France. Online orders obviously, to limit my contact with cinema workers while the pandemic is ongoing.
What he’s doing is something that James Cameron would do basically letting his ego show. I didn’t think Christopher Nolan had an ego compared to James Cameron.
I can't even be mad at Nolan...I wanna be, but dang I'm just so excited for Tenet.
Pattinson is seriously giving me the eye here...so gutted that he couldn't be Bond. Nonetheless, he's looking terrific as Bruce Wayne here. Also, Elizabeth Debicki has been threatening to join the A-list for a while. I noticed she really popped in Great Gatsby. Though her performance in widows for me was the best thing about that film (aside from the ever reliable Daniel Kaluuya and Brian Tyree Henry).
Debicki seems to embody many of the qualities of the icy blonde of Hitchock's films...she's very striking in that model-esque way in that she's slightly unusual looking but captivating.
It looks like Nolan doesn’t care about Tenet being “successful”, instead he wants to be remembered as the one who saves theaters and movie chains.
Now EON would give her a cool role as a Bond girl, and she was a great villain in The Man From UNCLE and Cloverfield Paradox.
I am very intrigued by Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s character (no surprise), but in all seriousness, apart from that one shot of him, his role is quite mysterious, and it’ll be interesting to see what side he’s on.
That worries me. I have been misled by excellent trailers before.
Jeez...the outcry on Twitter over Tenet opening in July is ridiculous.
So many thinkpieces spreading saying 'Christopher Nolan is a Menace to Society' and op-ed's pleading for people not to return to cinemas.
Look, if you don't want to go. Then the answer is simple: Don't Go.
I imagine that many who will attend, will do so responsibly. If there are people being irresponsible in cinemas, then it's incumbent of the theatre staff to handle these situations accordingly.
In actual fact, I think the principal reason people are getting up in arms is a concern that they want to see Tenet first and want to ruin everyone's fun. They don't want to see Tenet with the great unwashed masses and would rather wait. Which is fair enough. So they are prepared to wait. However, they know the film will get spoiled for them online.
If that's your deal. Then I get it. But the answer to that problem is simple: Stay off the internet.
If that's impossible for you, then I feel sorry for you. You don't have to virtue signal and make this to do with the coronavirus and your concern for public safety. I don't see the same people bemoaning and protesting the government to shut down Oxford Street.
For example, on the movie blogs there is zero fury over the Mulan film (which opens first) because no one cares and the film's buzz is dead. But all the folk moaning about Tenet are just desperate to see it and want to ensure those of us who can act responsibly can't as well.
If you think being responsible means not going to see Tenet in August. Then, don't go.

Is this sadly the final nail in the coffin for Tenet to come out this summer? At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it takes WW84's October release date.
With regards to Tenent, juding by the trailer, it's looking like an early draft of Inception that's been repurposed to fashion a new movie. For the time being, I remain pessimistically optimistic, as I do with No Time To Die.
You're right that my remark was a bit cavalier. It needs more explanation:
That's what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. Though I'll admit to being only 26 when I first saw it and I haven't seen it since. I was, and still am, a committed remoaner as well. But like most people, 2020 has made us get over 2016. I have to give Dunkirk a re-watch and leave my politics at the door. Hopefully, I will hopefully do so in time for Tenet!
Very interesting!
As soon as tickets go on sale for Tenet, I will be buying mine for the IMAX! Hopefully in Waterloo as I've never been before!
Also, some new photos from a book coming on Tenet. The snap of JDW and Pattinson in the room is bloody beautiful!

Many US states still have no timetable to reopen all cinemas in July.

How can Tenet open in such conditions? The 2 biggest single box-office markets are looking to remain closed for the foreseeable future.
Regardless of the fact that this movie was actually made for the purposes of international release and not aimed solely at the UK box office; a foreign market who probably would not have cared less about the UK referendum results in the same way that you seem to have been so bitterly affected by.
I must add, that's rather a leap of logic to make and an oversimplified view of a movie that was being released in preperation for the 80th Anniversary where 68,000 allied soldiers were either killed, wounded, went missing, or were captured—and a European Federalist authority that's deeply unpopular even beyond our own shores today. I did actually go see this movie in the cinema, and whilst I thought its production wasn't particularly convincing in its protrayal of the 850 private boats that sailed from Ramsgate to Dunkirk, or the 300,000 allied soldiers stranded on the beaches, I never for one single moment saw the same pareidolia that you saw in this movie. Perhaps, one can see a likeness of Jesus in the clouds if one is so inclined?
I didn't bother reading The Guardian piece as they're no longer a credible news source. They just now play host to opinions written by Islingtonista columnists or wealthy interns on sub-zero contracts, having sacked the majority of their real investigative journalists a long time ago due to their declining profits. You might as well read any old left-wing biased blog as it has as much credence as The Guardian has nowadays.
Of course, you're perfectly entitled to believe whatever you want. But for me and many other like-minded people, this movie was just another modern re-telling of a true wartime event, much like Saving Private Ryan, Flags of Our Fathers, and Hacksaw Ridge were to many others, aimed at educating those that were either blissfully ignorant of the huge sacrifice made by these men, or who were never taught it at school and want to learn more about the subject now. And before you say Saving Private Ryan wasn't based on a true event, oh yes it was. It was based on an actual soldier named Fritz Niland. I guess, Saving Private Fritz didn't have the same ring about it, though.
Was there to be a tie-in with a screening of Tenet?

Sadly, I feel that we won't get any films till Xmas or even 2021. Just look at the below graph. It seems clear to me that, whilst Europe has improved their situation considerably, the USA is struggling. In fact, the situation in the States is worse now than ever before.
Tenet will move. Even moving to October/November is probably too ambitious as it's only 4 months time. I anticipate some big sweeping changes to the release calendar as the film industry needs the domestic box office to survive, something it won't have till a vaccine by the looks of things.
Sadly, the management of the virus has not worked out in an international setting. So basically we get no movies in theatres this year. Whilst cinemas may open in Europe next month, Hollywood studios won't be releasing their blockbuster films till the marketplace is healthy.
Sadly this means we probably don't get Tenet....or even NTTD this year.
We're so very screwed.

That's it for Tenet I guess. When on earth can they delay it to?
