This new extended trailer for Tenet gives me no further insight into what it’s about- another of Nolan’s puzzle box, sci-fi movies ala Inception and Memento I guess, but the biggest question surrounding its release is when it’s actually coming out and whether it will indeed be the first big movie that people are going to go back to theaters to see in the midst of the pandemic. It was scheduled for July 17th, but no date is stamped on this trailer. Is is coming out or not? We still don’t know but WB and Nolan are going to have to make a decision pretty soon here. Movie theaters are a question mark- are they super spreader events like other types of mass gatherings or will social distance measures, masks and fewer people in one theater be enough to protect moviegoers? I myself would rather not risk it and will go back when the vaccine is here.
