  • Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet' Gets Pulled From Warner Bros' Release Calendar

    Warner Bros.

    Blaming the delay on the coronavirus crisis, chairman Toby Emmerich stresses that their goals ‘throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success’ for their films.
    Jul 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Moviemaker Christopher Nolan’s new film “Tenet” has been pulled from the Warner Bros. release calendar after its cinema debut was changed four times.
    Movie bosses are considering scrapping plans to release the film globally and traditionally on the same day because so many cinemas remain closed due to the coronavirus crisis.
    Nolan’s much-anticipated movie is now expected to open in China and the Far East first, while studio executives are eyeing a drive-in theatre release in the U.S. Reports suggest the action film could hit cinemas on September 11.
    “Our goals throughout this process have been to ensure the highest odds of success for our films while also being ready to support our theatre partners with new content as soon as they could safely reopen,” Toby Emmerich, the chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, says in a statement obtained by Deadline. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from exhibitors and remain steadfast in our commitment to the theatrical experience around the world.”
    “Unfortunately, the pandemic continues to proliferate, causing us to reevaluate our release dates. Amidst all this continued uncertainty, we have decided to vacate the current dates for our next two releases. We will share a new 2020 release date imminently for ‘Tenet’, Christopher Nolan’s wholly original and mind-blowing feature. We are not treating Tenet like a traditional global day-and-date release, and our upcoming marketing and distribution plans will reflect that.”
    “Additionally, we will be moving the next installment from our most-successful horror franchise, ‘The Conjuring 3′, to June 4, 2021.”

    The $200 million-budgeted film starring Robert Pattinson will only be released to theaters when ‘exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it’s time.’
    Jun 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s new film “Tenet” has been delayed again, this time until mid-August 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
    According to editors at Entertainment Tonight, the Warner Bros. movie is now scheduled to hit theatres on August 12, 2020 after being pushed back from its rescheduled date of 31 July. It was originally scheduled to debut earlier in the month.
    In a statement, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. said the studio is not treating the $200 million film as a “traditional movie release” and is “committed to bringing Tenet to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it’s time.”
    Announcing plans for an extended run in cinemas, they added, “We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy.”
    Nolan’s hotly anticipated spy epic stars Robert Pattinson, John David Washington, and Indian actress Dimple Kapadia.

    New Release Date for 'Tenet' Pushes 'Wonder Woman 1984' to October

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    Gal Gadot’s much-anticipated return as Diana Prince and her superhero alter ego is no longer set to hit theaters on August 14, whereas Russell Crowe’s ‘Unhinged’ gets one week delay.
    Jun 15, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Wonder Woman” has met her match in filmmaker Christopher Nolan.
    Gal Gadot’s much-anticipated return to the big screen in America, as Diana Prince and her superhero alter ego, has been delayed to October, following news that Nolan’s “Tenet” will hit the big screen two weeks later than expected on 31 July.
    “Wonder Woman 1984” was scheduled to debut on 14 August but film bosses fear “Tenet” will still be the blockbuster to beat two weeks after its release, and they’ve decided to move the sequel.
    Movie experts expect “Tenet” to be the biggest film to hit cinemas following the U.S. COVID-19 shutdown.
    Meanwhile, Russell Crowe’s new film, “Unhinged”, which was billed as this summer’s big Independence Day holiday release in America, has also moved from 1 July to 10 July, and Angelina Jolie’s “The One and Only Ivan” will no longer hit the big screen this summer, as planned.
    Instead, the film will be released exclusively on the Disney+ streaming service.
    Jolie produced the movie and voices one of the characters in the film, which will hit the small screen on 21 August.
    Bryan Cranston, Helen Mirren and Chaka Khan also voice characters.

    Robert Pattinson Confesses to Having No Clue What 'Tenet' Is About

    WENN/Nicky Nelson

    When speaking about director Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated new release, the ‘Twilight’ actor admits to honestly telling co-star John David Washington he has no idea what’s happening.
    Jun 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Robert Pattinson is looking forward to the release of his new movie “Tenet” – as he has no idea what the film’s about.
    The “Twilight” star, who will be back at work on “The Batman” when the coronavirus-prompted filming lockdown is lifted in the U.K., admits director Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated new release had him scratching his head as he was making it.
    Speaking to Esquire alongside co-star John David Washington, he says, “It’s an incredibly complicated movie, like all of Chris’ movies. I mean, you have to watch them when they’re completely finished and edited three or four times to understand what the true meaning is.”
    “When you’re doing them, I mean, there were months at a time where I’m like, ‘Am I… I actually, honestly, have no idea if I’m even vaguely understanding what’s happening’. I would definitely say that to John David.”
    “On the last day, I asked him a question about what was happening in a scene, and it was just so profoundly the wrong take on the character. And it was like, ‘Have you been thinking this the entire time?'”
    “There’s definitely a bond in the end in kind of hiding the fact that maybe neither one of us knew exactly what was going on. But then I thought, ‘Ah, but John David actually did know. He had to know what was going on’.”
    “Tenet” will hit cinemas when they re-open.

    Christopher Nolan: Blowing Up Real Plane Is Cheaper Than Using CGI for New Movie

    Instagram

    The ‘Dark Knight’ filmmaker reveals he chose to destroy a real Boeing 747 in his new movie ‘Tenet’ than using special effects because it’s less expensive.
    May 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan didn’t need the help of special effects crews for scenes in his upcoming movie “Tenet” – he did most of the work himself.
    In an interview with Total Film magazine, the director revealed he skipped effects and brought in a real Boeing 747 plane to blow up in a key sequence in the movie.
    “I planned to do it using miniatures and set-piece builds and a combination of visual effects and all the rest,” he shared. “However, while scouting for locations in Victorville, California, the team discovered a massive array of old planes.”
    Nolan went on to say that, after running the numbers, buying the plane was just more cost effective.
    “(It was) actually more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size, and perform this sequence for real in camera, rather than build miniatures or go the CG route,” he added. “It’s a strange thing to talk about – a kind of impulse buying, I suppose.”
    He added, “It was a very exciting thing to be a part of.”
    Speaking to Cinemablend, star John David Washington added, “That was a real plane, and that was a real building that they crashed that plane into. And we, cast and crew, all witnessed it. It was epic! It was incredible, we all cheered and hurrayed and hurrahed when they yelled cut after Chris felt like he got it. What you saw is really what happened – at least the night I was there.”
    “Tenet”, also starring Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki, is due for release on July 17, 2020.

    Christopher Nolan Turns to Video Game Fortnite to Screen His New Movie

    Warner Brothers

    After premiering the trailer on the popular video game, the ‘Dark Knight’ filmmaker is now set to screen the new movie called ‘Tenet’ on the app this coming summer.
    May 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan is set to screen one of his “iconic” movies for players of the video game “Fortnite”.
    “The Dark Knight” filmmaker premiered the trailer for his upcoming spy thriller “Tenet” in the game on Thursday, May 22, 2020.
    Canadian video games journalist Geoff Keighley, who hosted the event, announced to players that one of Nolan’s “iconic” films will be shown inside the game this summer.
    Confirming the news on Twitter, he added, “Just announced during the Tenet trailer premiere – Christopher Nolan is bringing one of his iconic films to @FortniteGame this summer for a full-length free screening for fans!”
    Donald Mustard, the Worldwide Creative Director at Fortnite creator Epic Games told fans that the idea to screen the trailer in the game came from Nolan.
    “The idea of debuting the TENET trailer came from a phone call with Christopher Nolan,” he tweeted. “We were all talking about our love of seeing new trailers in a THEATER and how sad we were that we can’t do that right now – but how maybe this could be the next best thing. Hope you love it!”
    “Tenet”, which stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki, is currently slated to be the first major Hollywood release to hit cinemas after they reopen following the relaxation of Covid-19 lockdowns, debuting on July 17.

    'Tenet' Trailer: Christopher Nolan's New Protagonist to Stop World War III Through 'Inversion'

    [embedded content]

    John David Washington’s character struggles to comprehend his mission and skills which involve time manipulation, while Robert Pattinson’s alter ego wants to crash a plane.
    May 22, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” has unleashed a new trailer for fans’ viewing pleasure. With theaters still closed amid the coronavirus lockdown, the video was unveiled through Fortnite, before it’s made available on YouTube.
    In “Inception” and “Interstellar” style, the upcoming film is a sciene-fiction pic with a mind-bending twist. The main protagonist, played by John David Washington, has to pass a test that many others have failed. “That test you passed?” Martin Donovan’s character says to him early in the video. “Not everybody goes. Welcome to the afterlife.”
    Washington’s mission is to stop World War III through something called “inversion.” He seems to still struggle to comprehend his skills and at one point is seen being surprised when he literally catches the bullet instead of shooting it.
    The word “tenet” is a password that ensures people take him seriously and Robert Pattinson’s character, who looks like a swagger, somehow joins him in some of his actions. In one scene, he sees bullet holes in glass but says that the shooting hasn’t happened yet.
    The next scenes are even more action-packed and intense, with Washington and Pattinson running through the audience in a big conference room as the latter says that they need to save them. Interestingly, the audience seem to be not moving a.k.a. in pause mode.
    Later toward the end of the video, Pattinson shares his crazy plan to crash a big plane.
    Like many of Nolan’s films, little is known about the plot, but the official description of the movie 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.” It adds, “Not time travel. Inversion.”
    The cast also includes Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson (a.k.a. Aaron Johnson), Clemence Poesy, Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh. Nolan wrote in addition to directing the film, as well as producing it along with his wife Emma Thomas. Thomas Hayslip served as executive producer.
    “Tenet” is still scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 17, but the new trailer fails to list an opening date at the end of it, simply saying, “coming to theaters” instead. There’s a big chance that the movie’s release is postponed, or it will go straight on streaming service.
