THE IDEA - “The seed of the idea for Tenet comes from an image that I had very early on in my career - the idea of a bullet being sucked out of the wall and into the barrel of a gun.” 2:26 - 2. IT TOOK 20 YEARS FROM THE IDEA TO A FINISHED SCREENPLAY - “I won't sit down to write something until I know that the set of ideas is ready to commit to the page in a screenplay form and that the ideas are all in balance.” 4:36 - 3. THE TITLE - “In the case of Tenet, I had the title very early - years ago. Obviously, the fact that it's a palindrome was the jumping-off point but it was also what the word means in the notion of belief.” 5:59 - 4. ANONYMOUS PROTAGONIST - “I deliberately didn’t name him and didn’t include any of the information about how he got here. Hopefully, that idea keeps people focused on the here and now and constantly looking over his shoulder.” 8:26 - 5. THE CHARACTER - “I was looking for an aspect of selflessness to the character. In spy fiction genre you usually have these very cynical hard-bitten protagonists and it's at odds with the concept of somebody willing to give up their life for their fellow human beings.” 11:26 - 6. CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS - “There are some ambiguities to a relationship and then and there's a camaraderie that develops that's very important. A lot of that was indicated on the page, but once you finish a script then casting is extremely important.” 12:31 - 7. TIMELINES - “The best way to think of it is to look just at John David’s experience and you follow him through the entire story - that's a single timeline. But that timeline can move both forwards and backwards.” 13:57 - 8. ENIGMA OF TIME - “I’m fascinated by the concept of time in my movies because it's one of the biggest influences on our lives and yet we're unable to fully understand it and to really grasp it or even explain what it is quite frankly.” 15:39 - 9. ADD A NEW ANGLE TO THE AUDIENCE EXPECTATIONS - “For me, as an audience member, I’m always looking freshness to things. So I want to enjoy that thrill ride of a large scale action movie but I want something new out of it. I want to look at it in a way that I haven't before.” 17:09 - 10. THE ENDING - “I don't go into a project without knowing the ending because I think the ending is the most important part of a feature film. You can have a 4-hour movie and the last 5 minutes can let it down and then for the audience the whole experience gets thrown out the window.” 19:30 - EXTRA TIP - WRITER’S BLOCK - “The cruel trick that your mind plays on you when you're writing is you go to bed at night thinking oh I’ve got the whole thing worked out and I can write it no problem tomorrow. And then you sit down and you're like hang on it seemed so simple until I started writing it.” Nolan is also the screenwriter behind Oscar favorite movies like Memento, Interstellar, Inception, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Dunkirk, The Prestige, Following,... He ranks with the best writer directors like Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Aaron Sorkin, Bong Joon Ho and others... • There are images and things in Tenet that director Christopher Nolan had been thinking about for at least 20 years before actually making the movie. He worked on the specifics of the Tenet film and the screenplay for about six years. • There was much secrecy surrounding the project before its release. Actor Robert Pattinson said that he was only allowed to read the script in a locked office at Warner Bros. Studios. His co-star Michael Caine wasn't even allowed to read the entire screenplay. He was given his scenes only to read before shooting. • After being offered the lead role in the film, John David Washington read the screenplay in director Christopher Nolan's locked office at Warner Bros. Studios. It took him around five hours to finish reading it because he kept flipping back and forth "in pure amazement."
