The Practical Effects in ‘Tenet’ Will Apparently Be a Sight to Behold
By George Robbins
Christopher Nolan is a director that is now known for the incredible films that he is responsible for creating and how those films are executed. Regardless of what film it is that he works on, he puts as much effort into the films as possible which results in films that are seen as masterpieces. If the story of any of his films is lackluster, this is made up for by the directing and the visuals being displayed on the screen. For many of his films, he has to use CGI just for the sake of creating an immersive universe, but what many people may not realize is that he tries to use as many practical effects as he can. This gives his movies the realism you would expect to find in movies that are trying to make you think what you see on screen is a possibility.
Nolan is responsible for some incredible films like ‘Interstellar,’ ‘Inception,’ ‘The Dark Knight Trilogy‘ and more which are widely regarded as incredible films in their own rights. They are all visually stunning and many of the films have plots that can be somewhat complicated, but simultaneously interesting. It is for this reason that Nolan is so well regarded by the movie making community and has a lot of say as to what happens with his films. Lately, there has been much discussion around his newest film, ‘Tenet‘ and what should be done with it because of everything going on with the pandemic. Nolan has wanted his film to be the first blockbuster film to release in theaters since the start of the pandemic, but the likelihood of this has pretty much disappeared.
Warner Bros. originally had the film set to release in the middle of July and had to move the date to the middle of August to accommodate for the surge in coronavirus cases. They just recently announced that this would not be the case either and the movie will be delayed in the United States indefinitely. In the meantime they mentioned that they might just end up releasing the film internationally in countries that are containing the virus better first. This would be a first for the studio, but given the choices they have available to them, this is the only one that makes sense. In the end, there is nothing we can do but wait and see if people can work on containing the virus better, otherwise the film will not be shown in the U.S. for a very long time.
Although we may not get to see the film anytime soon, this hasn’t stopped information for the film from releasing, even if it is a statements by the actors. Actor Himesh Patel, who stars in ‘Tenet,’ has said recently that the practical effects for the movie are a sight to behold. He said that the lack of CGI and the practical effects work on the film makes it something that people should look forward to seeing. There is no word yet on when the movie will release anywhere, but given how important this release is for WB, I can’t imagine that they will wait long to come up with a new date. With that being said, it will most likely be a long while before we see the U.S. release for the film.
