Talk:Tenet (film): Difference between revisions

Edits needed

As more information about the film becomes available, the article should be developed further. I have some suggestions as to how the article can be developed. The introduction currently says:

"Tenet is an upcoming action thriller film written, directed, and produced by Christopher Nolan."

However, it should read:

"Tenet is an upcoming action thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Nolan and Emma Thomas."

The infobox states that Thomas is a producer and that Syncopy Inc. is the production studio (Nolan and Thomas are Syncopy). It is also consistent with other Nolan articles.

As for the body paragraphs, they currently read like this:

"Ludwig Göransson will compose the score, which marks a departure from Nolan's frequent collaborator Hans Zimmer, owing to Zimmer's commitment to the 2020 film Dune. It is also the first time since Batman Begins without editor Lee Smith, who was replaced by Jennifer Lame. Nolan traveled to Mumbai in February and April 2019 for location scouting.

"John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki were cast in March 2019. Pattinson said the script was kept so secretive that he only read it once while locked in a room. The casting of Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branaghwas announced as filming started.

"Principal photography began in May 2019 and will take place in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Estonia, Italy, and India. On June 30, Estonia's Pärnu Highway and adjacent streets were closed to make way for filming. The Linnahall also served as a set. The mayor of Tallinn expressed concerns about potential disruptions regarding plans to shoot at Laagna Road in July, which originally required a stretch of it to be closed for one month. They eventually reached a compromise involving temporary road closures and detours. Portions of the film will be shot in Mumbai in September.

"Director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema is using a combination of 70mm film and IMAX."

This is what I think the paragraphs should look like. I have added justifications in in bold to make it easier to follow:

"Ludwig Göransson will compose the score, which marks a departure from Nolan's frequent collaborator Hans Zimmer, owing to Zimmer's commitment to the 2020 film Dune. Jennifer Lame will be the film's editor, replacing long-time Nolan collaborator Lee Smith. [this article is about Tenet and Lame is the editor of Tenet, so she rather than Smith should be the focus]

"John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki were cast in March 2019. Pattinson said the script was kept so secretive that he only read it once while locked in a room. The casting of Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh were announced as filming started. [minor grammatical change]

"Principal photography began in May 2019 and will take place in seven countries, including the United Kingdom, Estonia, Italy, and India. Filming took place in the Estonian capital Tallinn in June and July 2019. The Pärnu Highway, Laagna Road and Linnahall all served as filming locations. [dates and locations should come first — it's not clear where in Estonia the locations are] Tallinn mayor Mihhail Kõlvart [he has a name] expressed concerns about potential disruptions brought about by shooting, as the original shooting schedule required major roads to be closed for one month. [the article should use film terminology] Production eventually reached a compromise that saw temporary road closures and detours in place for two weeks, but the city later granted an additional two days to allow filming to be completed. [this takes a detail from the footnote that is important enough to be mentioned in the body of the article] Nolan traveled to Mumbai in February and April 2019 for location scouting. Portions of the film will be shot in Mumbai in September. [everything related to filming in Mumbai should be kept together, just as everything related to filming in Estonia should be kept together]

"Director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema is using a combination of 70mm film and IMAX."

I also feel that there may be too much of an emphasis on the Estonian government's subsidies and incentives in the footnotes. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 11:51, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
