The former vampire of «Twilight» Robert Pattinson, on video from his home, has the tousled hair of someone who has just woken up. He is one of the protagonists of «Tenet», The film by Christopher Nolan which, after postponing its release several times, Warner Bros has decided that the film will be released first in Europe, on August 26, and then in the United States when the health situation will have improved a little. Nolan in fact, since the beginning of the pandemic had been categorical: his film would not go in streaming. A TV screen would not have been enough to do justice to his latest effort, with spectacular action scenes, touching four continents and seven nations, including Italy, with some scenes set in Ravello.

«Tenet» it’s one of those Nolan movies, a la «Inception», to «Interstellar», in which the concept of time is malleable and not even remotely linked to its straight flow, in only one direction. In “Tenet» time can be reversed. “Where would I go if I could really reverse it?” Maybe at the Big Bang, at the beginning of everything, to see how it all began, to discover the secrets of our history “, says Robert Pattinson, who from his English home tells how his quarantine has also turned into a bubble without temporal references: «I had the feeling of living in one of those video games where you wear a headset and immerse yourself in a parallel reality. I remember that sense of strangeness on a walk. There was nobody outside, I felt like I was in a fantastic world. Everything was incredibly strange and surreal ».

Now that the world is trying to get back to normal, the actor he is convinced that Nolan’s film can help. “It would have been a spectacular film even in normal times, but now the expectations are even higher and I’m sure it will be a major success. It is a project that I would define as “intellectually dense”, an intelligent and unique film. It will be an extraordinary experience ». «Tenet»Is a great action movie. Together with the other protagonist (John David Washington, son of Denzel), Pattinson climbs buildings, throws himself into the fire: «It’s a spy story with Nolan’s touch. Turning around, I was amazed every day at how he was always able to put into practice everything his tightrope mind had conceived. I felt a sense of wonder for him and his work that I don’t think I will be able to feel later ».

Pattinson wants to be surprised when he works. “I’m looking for some scary things. A character, a plot, something that seems a bit risky to me. I need adrenaline, I need to be able to overcome the comfort, the routine. My biggest fear is boredom, repetition, always doing the same thing day after day, that for me is the situation that terrifies me the most “. In order not to get too bored he has decided to accept a role that has made the history of cinema and that will put him in comparison with several illustrious predecessors: he will be Batman in the film directed by Matt Reeves whose shooting has restarted a few days ago. For that part the actor lied to Nolan (director in 2008 of “The dark Knight»):« We were filming and in order to go audition I simulated an emergency in the family, but he didn’t fall for it and he said to me: you’re going to auditions for “Batman”, right? I stammered that they told me not to tell anyone. ‘
