The highly anticipated trailer of Christopher Nolan's next film Tenet was released. Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Michael Caine, Dimple Kapadia and Kenneth Branagh among others.
From what we can gather from a rather cryptic trailer of the espionage thriller, Washington is on a special mission to stop World War III, by manipulating time. In the trailer, he wakes up in an unknown locations, cars crash into each other and then uncrash, and we see a mention of 'afterlife'. In the end, we also see Washington and Pattinson walk into a glass-walled room with bullet holes, and Washington tells Pattinson that the event is yet to take place.

Indian actress Dimple Kapadia also has a strong presence in the film which is set to hit theatres in July 2020.
Speaking about Tenet, Nolan called it the most ambitious movie he has ever made. The 49-year-old filmmaker said the project, which he also produces alongside his frequent collaborator Emma Thomas, has been mounted on a scale that is "certainly the biggest in terms of international reach".
"We shot in seven countries, all over the place, with a massive cast and huge set pieces. There's no question, it's the most ambitious film we've made," Nolan added.
Though the plot details have kept under wraps by the studio Warner Bros, Nolan said is an espionage thriller that spans several countries. "We're jumping off from the point of view of an espionage film, but we're going to a number of different places. We're crossing a few different genres in a hopefully exciting and fresh way," Nolan told Entertainment Weekly.
