Film aficionados will have to wait a bit longer than usual. Some theatres in Sri Lanka, Germany, Malaysia have reopened but the rest of the world isn’t taking risks. It is very important for us to see how the audience responds to the release of Tenet. It would have been the first release and based on the response of the crowd, producers all over the world would get a fair idea and confidence if they can continue to make films or shelve the idea for a while. So the much awaited release of Christopher Nolan’s espionage thriller Tenet has been postponed again.
The film was originally scheduled to release on July 17 and then was pushed to July 31. Later, Warner Bros. announced the film will finally reach theatres on August 12. And, now it has been delayed indefinitely due to the uncertainty around reopening of theatres, which were closed after the outbreak of the pandemic in mid-March. Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh and Dimple Kapadia. The makers have described the film as “an action epic which is about the world of international espionage.”
