linkDamn, that's short. I'm seeing conflicting accounts of what the tag line is though. Someone on twitter said it's this: "Time has come for a new protagonist." "Time has come for a new kind of mission." Which to me gives it a kind of double meaning... time as an agent or antagonistic force.

I saw the description elsewhere. The “new protagonist / new mission” thing has people theorizing if this really is connected to Inception somehow.

There was a Hollywood Reporter article a while back that mentioned something about the film dealing with the "time continuum," which was before the announcement about the plot revolving around international espionage.
A James Bond-esque time travel movie, perhaps?

the original title of “Merry-go-round” is starting to make sense. The footage seems to imply that JDW’s character is functioning right smack in the middle of a skewed time warp that will go forward and backward. Those cars we saw driving in reverse is obviously deliberate, and also notice the subtle change of direction in JDW’s movement, plus the smoke through the bullet ridden glass almost playing in reverse too. Still, I have absolutely no idea wtf is going on 😂 but that score is unreal. 😍
good lord, what have you conjured up here Nolan you beautiful bastard

In addition to framing "time" as an encroaching agent, the tagline also has me wondering if "new protagonist" could potentially be referring to a kind of role or position that both Washington and Pattinson's characters are vying for in some way, where time travel plays a part in determining the outcome.
The shots of Washington investigating the bullet holes do seem strangely edited, which makes me wonder if they are in fact two different scenes mirroring each other and cut together in a deceptive way that gives the impression of continuity. The odd repetition of Washington's movement just seems too glaring to be an editing gaffe, and feels pretty deliberate in suggesting some sort of time manipulation.
One other cool thing: the title spins counterclockwise, which might suggest time going in reverse.

The_Cake_of_Roth I think this is definitely plausible, and could also explain the oxygen masks as this sort of extreme time jockeying could be a detriment to their overall health the further it goes. Yeah, I don't know if you noticed but the smoke from the bullet holes slightly react to his hand movement when he places them on both windows. He's on a regular, forward path in the first segment of the shot, up until he turns his head to go investigate the second bullet hole. But in the next sequence, it's obvious that he's moving in a reversed motion due to the unnatural movement. Pretty fantastic way of giving us an inkling about what this entails. Hence the merry-go-round!

Will be highly interesting to see what idea crossed Nolan's mind this time.

Just saw it finally. I don't know what to think. Nolan fanboys have already made one hundred different theories about the plot and maybe none of them is true...
Time for a different mission? Ok.
For a different protagonist? What is that supposed to mean?

On one hand I would love to see Nolan do a more conventional thriller again (the way Insomnia was), as all those "supernatural" topics can backfire. But then I definitely trust Nolan far more than any other director to build up a great film around them.

Thanks! I'm sure that more observant people will find Easter eggs and stuff, and I'm not really like that unfortunately. I do notice that the title looks like the hands of a clock spinning around on the face of a clock, so probably more credence to the idea that the film has to do with time in some way.

I was just checking Reddit to see if someone had uploaded the teaser again. I did find something that did include parts of the teaser, which I thought was funny, but I'm sure most people won't. Something else caught my eye though that I thought was cool especially if that spoiler that the original title was tempus fugit was true. Sator Square, world's first 2D Palindrome found on Pompeii walls.
