‘Tenet’ Has Been Edited for UK Release
By George Robbins
Movie theaters all over the world have been doing their best to make up for the time that they lost when they were shut down. Not only to make up for lost time, but to also make up for lost revenue, they’ve taken to getting their doors opened up to the public. This has given them all a lot to think about because they have to follow whatever guidelines are in place in order to remain open. Therefore, we will be seeing theaters the world-over that have been changed in some way to reduce capacity and keep people separated from one another. No matter where the theater is, there is going to be something in place as a preventative measure in order to uphold the new standards that have been put into place.
Hollywood has been doing its best to also adapt to the situation the world has found itself in currently and they have been doing their best to uphold this. new rules on sets for movies that adhere to health and safety guidelines are making it a bit more difficult to get work done, but it is all within the realm of do-ability. This is what makes it even remotely possible that movies scheduled for release next year will still be able to make their deadlines. Production crews have been doing everything in their power to get their projects done which include making entire set pieces or moving to different locations for filming. This has allowed them the chance to continue working on films and if things work out with theaters, they will not have an issue showing those films by that point.
As stated, everything requires theaters to be open and at least functioning properly to some kind of official capacity to allow for future viewings. Movies will not have anywhere other than a digital VOD format to turn to if theaters can’t get up and functional in the coming months. Thus, theaters all over the world have been reopening in the proper capacity to follow the new standards. In the United States, theaters haven’t been so lucky because they have only been given the green light in some states. Without a go-ahead to reopen in all states, they are going to have an even more annoying time trying to get any kind of revenue. In the next couple of weeks, one big movie will be making its premiere and it could very much help theaters. This movie would be ‘Tenet‘ and it is a complete mystery, even to most of the people who worked on it.
‘Tenet’ is a film where no one really knows anything about it and this is what Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan want. Nolan has been responsible for some mind-bending films over the years and this movie is no exception. It will actually be premiering all over the world in over 70 countries before it is shown in the United States. It seems that although it is being shown in so many other countries, those countries are trying to make the film more appealing in some way to a wider audience. The BBFC, or British Board of Film Classification, has decided to cut some parts of the film out before its official release in theaters because they wanted to ensure that it got the rating they wanted it to have. That rating would be a 12A which is pretty much equivalent to a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. This guarantee of a rating may actually end up working out to bring more crowds in, but it will probably annoy some other people.
