Tenet: what is clear to us (and what is not) after seeing its new trailer

Tenet

The long awaited new trailer for Tenet It is already among us but we are not going to limit ourselves to leaving it here for you to press the play No. With the movies of Nolan that can not be done. Instead, we are going to review it with a magnifying glass and detail everything that has most caught our attention (and what questions or conclusions they generate, of course). Settle in and prepare to have your head blown away.

Nolan's new movie in Fortnite!

If you are more or less current in cinema or even if you are not but you are a Christopher Nolan follower, you will know that the director is close to releasing a new film of those that leave no one indifferent. Is about Tenet, a film about which until recently nothing was known beyond the fact that it was about "time travel" and that it would be released together with a guide with comments from its creator and notes with which to better understand what you have just seen .

In addition, its premiere would not be just any: Nolan has always said that he wanted his film to mean return to theaters, being the first film to be released when theaters reopen after the period of confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tenet

With such a cocktail of ingredients and knowing that the firm is one of the most talented directors on the current scene, it was to be expected that their expectation would be maximum in view of its new trailer, an advance that has already seen the light of day through an event held within Fortnite (yes, from a video game), but which is already available so that more than one person will leave their heads fuming... and (perhaps) with more questions than answers.

Trailer Tenet

In order for us to get in the mood and discuss some of the highlights that can be seen in the trailer, you need to check out the trailer first, if you haven't seen it yet. Remember that in December we already saw a first progress but in it, beyond knowing that it was about action and that some things "went backwards" we did not have more details.

As always (which are available) we leave it to you in the original version subtitled in Spanish and dubbed so that you can see the new video as you like.

Trailer Tenet in Spanish

  • The first and most noteworthy thing that its trailer reveals to us is that it does not this is not a time travel movie, at least not as many of us had in mind, of course. what he tells us about Tenet It's from the Your Strategic of time, a kind of reversal of events that can be controlled and that would be the key to the film.
  • Is it some kind of continuation of Inception? Although in the famous Nolan film, titled Origin in Spain, what is talked about is the manipulation and immersion of dreams, there is a detail in this teaser that makes us ask ourselves this question. What are we referring to? Well, to the appearance of an actor who also appears in the aforementioned 2010 film: Michael caine. In Origin he was Mallorie's father (and Dominic Cobb's father-in-law), a driving professor who knew the technique of dream sharing. in advance of Tenet It is not known what his name is, only that he meets with one of the protagonists to talk about "a certain Russian citizen." Nola is usually very given to repeat work with certain actors for what could be a simple coincidence... or not.

  • We have two main heroes and a villain. From what we can see, we have two clear singing voices, John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, something we already knew, and a Russian villain, played by Kenneth Branagh. This can "communicate with the future" and is related to "the blonde woman" but we still do not know how and why.

Tenet

  • But there are still characters to show. We know we have more actors in the family Tenet (like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who only appears for a few seconds (min. 1:02)) so it's clear that Nolan hasn't let all his cards show in this video preview.
  • And who is the blonde woman? Elizabeth Debicki appears repeatedly in the trailer and the only thing we can deduce is that she has a son and that it seems that she has to be protected from some kind of threat, Washington being in charge of it. She should be key in the story, but her role has not been revealed yet.

  • Do not miss the numerical details. The astronomy professionals who saw Interstellar They point out that Nolan's film about space is one of those that best represents the reality of this medium and of black holes (with certain licenses taken for the narrative, of course). In Tenet, The director does not seem to have relaxed when it comes to documenting himself, as well indicated in UK Films. In the scene where the scientist (played by Clémence Poésy) talks to Washington about the reversal, you can see a blackboard on which there are formulas relating to the reversal of entropy with part of Maxwell's equations dealing with the relationship of entropy, volume, and energy.

  • Is it going to be released on July 17 or is there a delay? Typically, when a movie already has its release date confirmed (as is supposedly the case) and releases a trailer, it shows it both at the end of the trailer and in the YouTube info box. It hasn't been like that this time. The advance has come out without any information about it, which makes us fear that it will not finally fulfill the promise. At the moment it is only a suspicion, so we will have to see how the weeks progress and what information is provided to confirm or not the tape by mid-July. We will see.
