Can't wait for Tenet to appear on VOD so I can finally watch it. Question for those who've already seen it...am I going to need a degree in Quantum Mechanics to understand what the hell is going on? No. I genuinely think Tenet is Nolan taking the piss out of his critics for having overly convoluted setups that he comes up with the mother of all convoluted setups, but ultimately it's not about understanding it because the protagonist (sorry, The Protagonist) doesn't really give a shit about the how or the why, so neither should we. And Nolan seems like he's having fun for what I think is the first time in well over a decade (if not ever).Ah I see..got it..that's actually pretty clever! Can't wait to see the film!

Blu-ray comes out on Tuesday, and this will be my first 4K purchase! (I'm planning on replacing some of the other Nolan movies in my collection with 4K eventually since I still own the freakin 2005 full-screen DVD of Batman Begins. I know, I know, what kind of a fan am I??) I would like to get the three-disc UK steelbook because of the cover art: One thing I'm wondering about though is whether it's the censored version that was released in UK theaters (to get a 12A certification, 9 seconds were cut out of the scene where Branagh beats Debicki ). If it weren't for the fact that the inverted image of JDW on the US 4K cover art is obviously meant to complement the original design of the film's title with the flipped E and T at the end, I'd be fine with getting that version (yes, I'm still bothered by this). Since I'm planning on printing my own custom poster of that image with the title the way it was meant to be (props to the graphic design wizard on Nolanfans who fixed it!), the OCD part of me doesn't want to have a Blu-ray cover and poster that visually clash.

Hello, this thread has now hit 1,000 posts... that's gotta be a record for a single movie, right (at least on MAR)? The closest I could find was The Irishman, which is around 800 posts (though that film is probably more deserving of such a long thread )

It is. Those 9 seconds will forever be on the cutting room floor. 😂

Twitter is fucking cancer. That "Christopher Nolan wants to kill people!!!" discourse was always the highest form of bullshit.

Branagh taking notes of his inverted lines: This scene mushed my brain to absolute bits on first viewing because I hadn’t a clue what was happening. Now it mushes my brain because of how fucking genius it really is. Honestly the replay value of this film is insane.

Aside from maybe the voice-over dude overselling the content, they pretty much still make trailers like that today.

Good video that discusses how Göransson reverses audio throughout the soundtrack and uses rhythm and meter in striking ways:

Q&A with none other than the great man himself. Even said he wants to develop a video game! Might explain his appearance at the Game Awards. DeepArcher....you may get your wish. 👀

Q&A with none other than the great man himself. Even said he wants to develop a video game! Might explain his appearance at the Game Awards. DeepArcher ....you may get your wish. 👀 The part of that interview that intrigued me the most actually was when he expressed interest in making a horror film at some point. He tends to hedge a lot in his answers to other questions, but his response of "definitely" to the question about exploring the horror genre was encouraging. It was interesting to hear him talk about how he thinks truly great horror films are rare, and that it's difficult to devise a great horror scenario that "holds up" and justifies the time to make it into a movie. While he said that he's not in a rush to make a horror film, it's still nice to know that, in his words, it's on his mind and he's interested in doing one eventually. I know there are people who think of Dunkirk as already kind of a "horror" movie in a way... but while Dunkirk's depiction of a war-time nightmarish hellscape certainly taps into an acute survivalist anxiety, I would be interested in seeing Nolan take on something more overtly psychological in the horror genre, like a case of someone slowly losing their mind and unable to distinguish fantasy from reality (which I guess was what Inception was originally conceived as). Something along the lines of Polanski's Repulsion or Bergman's Hour of the Wolf but on a bigger canvas, maybe told through memories/flashbacks and a crazy narrative structure like Last Year at Marienbad - time and space as fluid, with no certainty over what is happening to the character(s), what they are remembering, and what they are imagining,etc.

After ‘Tenet,’ Christopher Nolan Wants to Film More in India and Work with More Indian Actors
I love that one of his favourite films ever is Pather Panchali.

I have no idea if this is legitimate because it originated at 4Chan, but it seems real enough to me. From Reddit Movies, It is a sci-fi action-thriller about time travel, with two intersecting storylines, one set in the near future and one in the 1950’s. John David Washington and Robert Pattinson are playing scientists who travel from the future to the past and get caught up in a conspiracy involving a femme fatale played by Elizabeth Debicki. Washington is the main, while Pattinson takes on a more antagonistic role.
The mechanics of time travel are unique, with the leads existing simultaneously in both time periods, and having limits to how far they can go and what they can do in the past. Mark Rylance and William Fichtner will be in the movie as supporting characters in the future timeline, while Lucy Boynton is in early talks for a pivotal role in the past timeline. James McAvoy is being eyed for a very important role in the past timeline as well.
The title isn’t locked in yet, but it is being referred by studio heads as Tempus Fugit or simply Tempus.
I'd want to see this, but it sort of feels like it could be a parody type of thing too. Like Elizabeth Debicki has to be the dead wife of John David Washington if this is a parody, lol. It's interesting reading this now and seeing what details it actually got right. Obviously JDW doesn't play a scientist, and neither does Pattinson, but Pattinson's character says he has a master's in physics, and acts as the exposition vehicle for how inversion works in the film's second half... so he's not just a suave, quippy Bond stand-in, but he's also playing the character with the most expertise regarding the film's time travel mechanics. It's also true that the time travel mechanics in the film are unique, and that there are technically two intersecting storylines, one in the future and one in the past (we just don't see the future one, but are only told about it). Pattinson's character actually does travel from the future to the past and gets caught up in a "conspiracy." The bit about there being limits about "how far they can go and what they can do in the past" is also somewhat accurate since JDW's character must learn that he can't actually change the past and must accept that "what's happened's happened."

Excerpt from Gravitys Rainbow pg760 part 4 section 12
"...Part of a reverse world whose agents run around with guns which are like vacuum cleaners operating in the direction of life -- pull the trigger and bullets are sucked back out of the recently dead into the barrel, and the Great Irreversible is actually reversed as the corpse comes to life to the accompaniment of a back-wards gunshot (you can imagine what drug ravaged and mindless idea of fun the daily sound editing on this turns out to be). Titles flash on..."

Yikes...........maybe the wrong thread for this .......but interesting story - hadn't seen this posted (?) Last night I had a chat with a Warner Bros publicist. Some of the conversation revolved around Christopher Nolan leaving the studio and bringing his Oppenheimer/A-Bomb project to Universal: “Jordan, we already knew last year, it was inevitable that Warner Bros and Nolan would part ways. The studio lost over $60 million because of “Tenet,” he practically forced their hands to release the movie during the thick of the pandemic.” This comment surprised me. So, you mean to tell me that there was an actual net loss on “Tenet”? It was no doubt a bold move for Warner to release it in August of 2020, many theaters were still closed at that time including the top two film markets (Los Angeles and New York), and those that were open were operating at limited capacity. It was a big gamble which was done to please Nolan who insisted on a theatrical release, despite the limitations the pandemic would bring monetarily. “Tenet” ended up grossing a tepid $58.5 million domestically, but an excellent $363.7 million overseas. I was unaware of a report released by Variety a few weeks ago that made the claim the resulted loss for Warner Bros was at least $50 million. I was told last night by the WB rep that it’s actually $60-70 million.The release of “Tenet” was the final nail in the coffin between Nolan and Warner Bros, a relationship that lasted 20 years. “Tenet” was the first big blockbuster to be released after the March 2020 movie theatre shutdown due to the coronavirus. It was a gamble and it clearly didn’t pay off. www.worldofreel.com/blog/2021/9/ye9f3li6s6h7tu03h94goxx3nllewj
