Incredible production secrets from the making of Tenet
Subscribe: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
Christopher Nolan is well known for making big (often brain hurting) movies with a huge production and amazing spectacles. His (as of right now) most recent movie, ‘Tenet’, of course is no different with it being one of Nolan’s biggest and most expensive movies to dates. That of course means there are some crazy behind the scenes facts about how this movie was made, it’s ties to other movies, and the Nolan universe in general.
In this video we are going to take a look at some of the amazing details that went into making this movie, including the use of life size practical effects, having the actors doing their own stunts and working them super hard as well as having fun easter eggs hidden in the costume design and score. So settle in and get ready to go back in time and have your head hurt all over again as we go behind the scenes of the awesome world of Tenet.
What did you make of this video? Any facts we missed out on? How do you rate ‘Tenet’ compared to Nolan’s other movies? Did you like Tenet or find it confusing? Let us know in the comments below and make sure to subscribe to the channel today for all this and more!

You know what, Nolan planned to use effects such as green screen or stunts to capture inverted time effects but he wasn't satisfied with the result. So, he built a real turnstile machine with real time inversion function to produce maximal result. So you know.

Tenet has some of the best action sequences and set pieces I've ever seen in a movie. One of my favorite movies from Nolan and possibly my favorite. Still have no idea how the fight between TP and inverted TP was shot so perfectly. JDW had to learn the fight scene four different ways: suited TP inverted and noninverted and masked TP inverted and non-inverted.

Because after selling parts of the plane before and after shooting, it came to be less than CGI. The plane itself was more expensive but that’s before many parts were sold.

Pre-production started in December 2018 and casting in March 2019. it took 6 months from May to November for the 6/10 of the movie. Nolan had some problems afterwards with Robert pattinson till late December 2019 so they stop shooting since then. they completed 8/10 of the movie in February and COVID cancelled the shooting. They finally wrapped it up may 2020. Fortunately, Nolan and Robert got well together and they have no problem between them. So he gave him a role in to his new Batman movie. Sorry if this was long 😞

During the fight, the gravity and ballistics are prolly much different. I can’t find this issue addressed anywhere. BTW, Merry Go Round was a decoy title. Nolan is not going to make a movie with that title. Ever. But I’ll make one just for you. 😅
