Christopher Nolan’s Tenet: 12 new posters promise another mind-bender

Warner Bros has released 12 new posters for Christopher Nolan's upcoming event film, Tenet. This much-anticipated movie's release has been postponed several times and it is finally ready to be released in several markets. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Tenet is described as an espionage thriller and involves a concept called inversion, which both Nolan and actors have made clear is not time-travel. In fact, it is a sort of communication with the future. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Exploring a concept that most people have not heard or imagined is nothing new to Christopher Nolan, who did that in movies like Inception and Interstellar. And Tenet's "inversion" appears to be playing with time in a new way. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Nolan, easily one of the biggest filmmakers today, is credited with making films with complicated subject matters that anyway tend to become big hits, which is fairly rare for other filmmakers. Most blockbusters have simple stories and themes so they'd be comprehensible for more and more people. The Dark Knight trilogy, for instance, Nolan's intricate take on the Batman mythos saturated with elaborate themes, was a huge success. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Christopher Nolan is producing Tenet with his wife Emma Thomas through their production company Syncopy. Warner Bros, Nolan's studio of choice since 2005's The Prestige, is the co-producer. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

The film features a stellar cast with names like John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine (a Nolan mainstay), Kenneth Branagh and our own Dimple Kapadia. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

In Tenet, John David Washington's character is tasked with saving the world from World War III, and it is not Armageddon the world is facing, the promos say, but something worse. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Christopher Nolan has also penned Tenet's screenplay. Ludwig Göransson is composing the music. Hans Zimmer, Nolan's longtime collaborator, was unavailable since his talents were required for Denis Villeneuve's Dune. Hoyte van Hoytema, who has worked with Nolan on Interstellar and Dunkirk before, has handled the camera. Jennifer Lame, whose recent credits include Marriage Story and Midsommar, is editing Tenet.

Recently, Kenneth Branagh, who is playing the bad guy in Tenet, described the film in an interview. He told Irish Times, "The sense of scale here, even on the page, is something else. It plays as a bang-up entertainment but there’s a tonne more to it. Even with Dunkirk, and the scale of that, I was aware of my character’s relatively contained storyline.” (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Elizabeth Debicki had earlier spoken about working with Christopher Nolan. She said in an interaction with Variety, "He has this ability to make a film that involves complex thinking and yet make it entertaining and accessible. It’s almost got the feel of an indie set because of the precision — Chris works very fast; time and energy are spent on all the right things there. There is nothing superfluous. It was humbling and collaborative and definitely made me stronger as an actor and probably as a person." (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Tenet is already raking in some big money in the United Kingdom, according to Variety. There is no word on India release yet. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)

Tenet will be Nolan's first movie after 2017's Dunkirk. (Photo: Tenet/Twitter)
