Robert Pattinson talks to Semana Magazine (Colombia)

With the upcoming release of Tenet in Colombia on 3 December 2020, Rob chatted with Semana about his career. This interview seems to have been undertake via a roundtable of journos during the Tenet press junket as most of it seems familiar. Here’s what Rob had to say (translated with Google):

How is working with Christopher Nolan, he has a reputation for being technically savvy, but how is it with the actors?

ROBERT PATTINSON: First, when I read the script for the first time it seemed huge to me and I saw a very impressive and ingenious way of writing… Then on set there are so many parts that coexist and move together, and while that happens he keeps calm all the time. And while that seems to be his strength, those great scenes, we actually spend more time in the interpersonal scenes between a couple or few people. We definitely did more takes of these too, they seemed to excite Christopher more. That surprised me but it was excellent.

In addition, it is very difficult to make presentation and presentation accessible, to find a balance between giving the audience a natural dialogue and, at the same time, a lot of information that possibly requires a PhD to understand. Well, I say it, who can hardly add.

But I emphasize that, in that time that we spent in those scenes, trying to perfect them, and he was very good at finding and exploiting moments and details that could make them more entertaining or, let’s say, keep them from being cold, Chris is excellent when it comes to to find these moments.

The Wrap Includes “Tenet” in 10 Films that could dominate “Below the Line” Nominations | Oscars 2021

The Wrap has listed 10 films they consider will feature in the “below the line” nominations in next year’s Oscars. I’m gathering below the line means sound, editing etc rather than mainstream awards for Best Movie, Best Actor etc etc. Here is why they think Tenet will be successful:

It’s not always necessary to pile up nominations in below-the-line and technical categories to do well at the Oscars, but it sure does help. Apart from “Green Book,” whose five nominations only included one BTL nod (for film editing), most big Oscar winners in recent years have also scored with the voters who make up most of the Academy membership: sound editors and mixers, visual effects artists, cinematographers, editors, designers, composers and the like.

Even after the two sound categories were merged into one earlier this year, below-the-line artistry is responsible for nine of the 23 Oscar categories, with directing, writing and acting responsible for seven.

If voters had been able to see “Tenet” in a theater, the way God and director Christopher Nolan intended, it’d be a slam dunk in many categories. On a smaller home screen, the sheer power of the visuals might occasionally be overshadowed by a nagging feeling that what’s going on is kind of incomprehensible. (I say this as someone who drove out of L.A. County to see the film in a socially-distanced theater, where I could be dazzled and forget about nitpicking.)

But Nolan’s track record is formidable and this is one of the only real Movie Movies in the running, so it’s hard to imagine below-the-line voters not recognizing the scale and virtuosity of what they’re seeing on screen — even if that scale is toned down a bit because of COVID.

Strongest categories: Editing, visual effects, cinematography, sound, production design

“TENET” nominated in two categories for Inaugural Critics Choice Super Awards

The Critics Choice Awards is holding its inaugural “Critics Choice Super Awards” honoring superhero, science fiction/fantasy, horror, action and animation movies and series. Tenet has been nominated in the following two categories:

Best Action Movie
Best Actor in an Action Movie – John David Washington

No category for best support meaning – no nominations for Rob, but there’s always 2022 for Best Actor in a Superhero movie.  The ceremony will air on The CW Network on Sunday, January 10, 2021 (8:00-10:00pm ET/PT) and will stream the next day for free on The CW App and cwtv.com.

Christopher Nolan filmed this exclusive message for IMAX Melbourne who reopened today. I wish I could go to Melbourne to watch this film in this glorious version. Fingers crossed when Sydney IMAX reopens we might get it there.
