The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’ finds John David Washington and Robert Pattinson in a time warp

“Welcome to the afterlife.”

Warner Bros has dropped the first full trailer for Tenet, Christopher Nolan’s next summer blockbuster and it’s another mindbender in the tradition of Inception and Memento.

We’re finally getting an idea of the highly secretive and stylized plot of Tenet with this new trailer, which explores life, death, time travel and nothing less than “saving the world from World War III.”

John David Washington leads the film alongside Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Martin Donovan, two-time Academy Award winner Michael Caine and Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh. Academy Award-nominated Hoyte van Hoytema, cinematographer of Interstellar and Dunkirk, will return to shoot the film with Jennifer Lame (Hereditary, Marriage Story) editing. Academy Award-winning composer Ludwig Göransson (Black Panther) takes over for Hans Zimmer who is scoring Denis Villeneuve‘s Dune.

Tenet hits on July 14, 2020 in regular theaters and in special engagements in 70MM, 35MM and IMAX film. Watch the first trailer below.

This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
