What's left behind the scenes

  • The film contains plans and details that Christopher Nolan had been considering for about 20 years. Writing the screenplay took him 6 years.
  • The working title of the film was “Merry-Go-Round.”
  • The film contains a total of 280 shots with computer graphics, the rest being live footage using practical effects.
  • According to Robert Pattinson, he adopted the accent, intonation, and mannerisms for his character from American journalist and writer Christopher Hitchens.
  • Filming took place under conditions of the strictest secrecy. Robert Pattinson said that he was only allowed to read the script in a locked room at Warner Bros. headquarters, and Michael Caine was only given the scenes he was to appear in, not the entire script. Caine admitted to journalists that he had no idea what the film was about, despite being a close friend of Christopher Nolan.
  • The filmmakers purchased and then dismantled a real Boeing in a hangar, avoiding the use of computer graphics.
  • Before filming his movies, Christopher Nolan gathers the crew and cast and shows them films that inspired him while working on the current project. Before the start of filming this movie, Nolan broke with tradition. He wanted the creative team to rely on memory and feeling, rather than trying to recreate something they had once seen.
  • The film contains fragments of an ancient palindrome that was used to protect a home or person. Placed within a square, the palindrome reads in all directions vertically and horizontally. SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS The film's title is Tenet, the surname of one of the main characters is Sator, his company is called «Rotas», one scene takes place in an opera house, and the surname of the Spanish artist is Arepo.
  • The most expensive film by Christopher Nolan at the time of its release.
  • Filming was so exhausting for John David Washington that he couldn't run for a month after it ended.
  • Filming took place in Denmark, Estonia, India, Italy, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Filming in the USA began in May and ended in mid-November 2019.
  • The man behind the wheel of the black Ferrari is the film's producer, Neil H. Moritz, who also produced another film starring Vin Diesel – 'xXx'.
  • Director Rob Cohen appeared in a small role as a pizza delivery guy.
  • The film featured over 80 tuned cars, of which only a quarter were damaged.
  • The film’s spectacular ending, beginning with the equally spectacular start of the legendary 1970 Dodge Charger, also wasn't without its tricks. The car used in the film looked like a real drag racing machine, but wasn’t one. In principle, genuine examples participating in quarter-mile races can easily lift their front wheels, but the Charger from the film 'cheated'. The stunt team equipped the Dodge with special pneumatic pushers with small wheels. The stunt driver, while inside the car, pressed a button, and the pushers lifted the car onto its rear wheels, and the Charger could travel 10-20 meters on its back wheels!
  • A consultant – a genuine street racer with experience – was brought on board, and he advised purchasing a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, a 1994 Toyota Supra RZ, and a 1993 Mazda RX-7 for the main characters. Each car (and they bought five of each) cost around $10,000, plus approximately the same amount was spent on modifications.
  • The working title of the film was "Merry-Go-Round".
  • The film contains fragments of an ancient palindrome used to protect a home or person. Placed in a square, the palindrome reads in all directions vertically and horizontally. SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS The film is titled Tenet, one of the main characters' surname is Sator, his company is called "Rotas," one scene takes place in an opera house, and the Spanish artist's surname is Arepo.
