Alright I'm back. Thanks DUNKIRKIE for the good luck Here's the transcript of that very blurry page.
"[TENET] is a spy organization that faces a global threat to the world," says Branagh, 59. "A nuclear holocaust is not the greatest disaster that could happen to the human race."Tenet discusses an even worse possibility, and is embroiled in this mind-blowing treatment of time that continues Chris Nolan's obsession in his films from Memento, through Interstellar and Inception" With Tenet, that concern became what the characters in the movie call "inversion," a way to manipulate time so that characters can, for example, "shoot" bullets at a weapon.This latter ability is far more useful than you might think, according to the film's prologue, which was screened in select IMAX rooms prior to Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker last December.)
The inversion is inspired by real-life physics and entropy, a measure of disorder and randomness in thermodynamic systems. "This film is not a time travel movie," says Nolan. "It's about time and the different ways time can work. I'm not going to get into a physics lesson, but inversion is this idea of the material that entropy reversed, so it's going back in time, relative with us".
Hey, we thought you said this was not going to be a physics lesson! It is less complicated when Nolan describes his main characters, including that of Washington. "We are dealing with a world of espionage, we are dealing with a world of hidden identities," he says."[John David] is playing an agent known by the term" Protagonist. "Tenet is the name of the organization in which the protagonist is introduced." Given Nolan's love for the 007 movies, it seems that the Washington character is perhaps the closest yet to a black Bond, although the director is quick to point out that the Protagonist is not a clone of Ian Fleming's creation."He is very much at the heart of the film, but, unlike Bond, he has very warm emotional accessibility."
Meanwhile, Pattinson plays someone possibly named Neil. "We think he might be called Neil," says Nolan with a laugh. "You never really know what's going on with these identities."Nolan describes Neil-or whatever he is called- as a "slightly rascally character who operates within what they refer to as this twilight world of operatives in different secret services.
It might not be exact to the magazine since I got this quote by translating Spanish to English lmao. But I tried my best and the general gist is right.
The biggest takeaway I got from the article is that once again there seems to be ALOT that Nolan and Co are hiding from us. His mention of wanting to keep us spoiler free from the ultimate direction the film takes has me VERY excited.
JDW and ATJ being pursued by RPatt....possible villian?
Really? that was in the article?
an abandoned city of destroyed building and rubble has been constructed from scratch, a vast set populated by hundreds of extras in military camouflage uniforms. As the day progresses, and the temperature climbs, two of the film's stars, John David Washington and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, repeatedly sprint down the road bifurcating the cityscape, Robert Pattinson, driving an armoured military vehicle, is in hot pursuit, he's followed by another truck holding both an IMAX camera and Nolan. The whole shebang is pretty much the most impressive Hollywood-financed flex you could hope to see. Even Nolan, 50 who has plenty of experience directing out-size movies- Interstellar, Inception and the Christian Bale - starring Dark Knight Trilogy - seems impressed. "The set would certainly rank as one of the largest-scale outdoor builds of all time," he says. "It's Colossal"
thanks and you're welcome guys. Hopefully EW will announce the July issue and give us HQ pics and quotes. I'm very surprised they haven't even advertised the feature yet lol
I'm guessing that's gonna happen today. EW don't announce in advance now, they just drop the full feature and photos online.
Thank you for getting your hands on these scans by the way!
Thanks for posting this! Hope your exam went well. It seems like Nolan has some major misunderstanding of thermodynamics.
The man is not a physicist. They were saying inspired not accurate and besides, there’s still little information for what he might want to mean on how that works in his Science Fiction world. Just go with it and wait for the film.
Another thing I noticed about the watch and its relation to TENET which was interesting....I will put it in spoiler tags just incase
If you scroll down on your computer to the section that talks about 40 days until the hunt....a huge picture of the watch shows up....the left side in red, the right side in blue....as a whole the watch comes to a stop...if you scroll on the blue side begins to return to the top of the page/backwards in time....as the red side continues downward/forward in time. Very clever on their part.
Also once you hit the bottom of the page and you play the video....I'm 99% certain that music may be a subset ambient theme from Ludwig's score. I only say this because almost had the chance to work with Ludwig on musical stuff and I'm quite familiar with his sound choices. The synth bass has similar vibes to the prologue and teaser. He is going to knock it out of the park...he is a genius
I agree with you man. And that watch looks so cool, I love those two closeup shots of the watch from the movie...it looks like
it might be from the Eagle Mountain set, assuming from the color of the sleeve behind the watch, it looks like some military desert outfit
They’re recording musicians in their homes individually and engineering them together. Also, pretty weird to knock electronic elements considering so much of Inception and Dunkirk are electronic. It’s not optimal, but I’ve assumed this for months.
Also: the prologue is very electronic anyway, so this makes sense.
-Vader
Yes, yes of course. I know Hans Zimmer kind of spoiled us in the past... two decades, really, so that these bombastic orchestral (and part electronic) scores became the norm, especially for Chris Nolan films. But Dunkirk was already a deviation from this, and the most iconic aspect of the score for Interstellar was created using one instrument, so if you really think about it, these news shouldn't be disappointing at all.
Also, you can go really bland with orchestral blockbuster film music these days. I'm absolutely up for anything unique and unconventional - even if it's born out of necessity.

Agreed. Nolan is also very particular; I'm 99% he isn't going to allow a subpar score for one of his movies just to meet a deadline. The Ludwig score, from what I've heard from prologue+trailers is super electronic...which I love. Nolan is a big Vangelis and tangerine dream fan, so I think a purely electronic score sounds exciting.

This is major spoilers...It kidda reminds me of Kingsman: The Golden Circle. If you have watched the movie, you will know what I mean.
Here's the transcript of that very blurry page.
Just go with it and wait for the film.
