Cast

Production

Ludwig Göransson will compose the score as Nolan's frequent collaborator Hans Zimmer was committed to the 2020 film Dune.[3][4] Jennifer Lame will edit the film, replacing Nolan's long-time editor Lee Smith.[5] Tenet went under the working title Merry Go Round during pre-production.[6]

John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki were cast in March 2019.[7][8] Pattinson said the script was kept so secretive that he was only permitted to read it once while locked in a room.[9] The casting of Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh was announced as filming started.[10] Himesh Patel was added in August.[11] Denzil Smith acquired his role from an audition tape.[2]

Principal photography began in May 2019 and will take place in seven countries[12] — Denmark, Estonia,[nb 1] India,[nb 2] Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and United States.[15] Filming took place in Estonia in June and July, with the Linnahall, Pärnu Highway, and adjacent streets closed to facilitate it.[16][17] Tallinn mayor Mihhail Kõlvart expressed concerns about potential disruptions as the original shooting schedule required that the arterial Laagna Road be closed for one month.[18] Production eventually reached a compromise involving temporary road closures and detours.[19][20] The city government later granted a two-day extension to allow filming to be completed.[19][20][21] Scenes were shot at Cannon Hall, Hampstead in late August,[22] on the roof of the Oslo Opera House and in Tjuvholmen, Norway, and in Rødbyhavn, Denmark at Nysted Wind Farm early that September.[23][24] A five-day shoot occurred later that month in Mumbai,[15] where Nolan had traveled in February and April for location scouting.[25] He decided on Breach Candy Hospital, Cafe Mondegar, Colaba Causeway, Colaba Market, Gateway of India, Grant Road, Royal Bombay Yacht Club, and the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel.[26][27][28][29] A restaurant set named "Chaand" was built near the hotel,[27] but never used, serving only as an alternative.[15] Forty boats were positioned at the Gateway of India, where the crew also rescued a man who had attempted suicide.[30] A stunt where someone jumps off a building was done in Grant Road,[28] and a helicopter was applied for aerial footage of the hospital.[15]

Director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema is using a combination of 70mm film and IMAX.[31]

Release

Warner Bros. Pictures scheduled Tenet for a July 17, 2020 release. It is the fifth Nolan film to be released in the third weekend of July, which Deadline Hollywood called "a lucky date for Nolan" as his preceding four projects went on to achieve box office success.[32] In August 2019, Warner Bros. debuted a forty-second teaser trailer ahead of Hobbs & Shaw preview screenings.[33] It was attached to Indian screenings of Joker in October.[34]
