It’s very possible a newTenetspoiler has appeared on the official site for the upcomingChristopher Nolanmovie which is, in fact, a two-hour brain teaser. It would seem Nolan has been talking to his brother,Westworldco-creatorJonathan Nolan, on the best way to drive prospective viewers up the wall through vague, enigmatic clues sprinkled throughout transmedia marketing tactics. Even if this isn’t the case, applause is still owed to Nolan and Warner Bros. because this possible spoiler is the most interesting plot twist I’ve seen in the Nolan-verse in a long time.
The potential clue was spotted by Twitter user @antovolk (viaGamesRadar), who tweeted out a link to theTenetofficial sitewhich now has an updated — and intriguing — link preview when shared on social media. The photo which pops up features the recently releasedJohn David Washingtontwo-fer poster, but, instead of the title reading “Tenet”, printed underneath is the phrase: “We live in a twilight world and there are no friends at dusk.”
I put on my sleuth cap and clicked on theTenetofficial site link to see what’s going on with this possible spoiler business. What exactly does it mean to live in “a twilight world”? Is this Pattinson’s doing? IsTeneta sequel toTwilightand we’ve just haven’t been seeing it this entire time?
Clicking on the link will take you to a landing page where you’ll be told to enable audio and microphone capabilities. From there, you hearMartin Donovan’s voice from theTenettrailer about being given one word. The implication here is you are encouraged to say the word “tenet,” which then activates a verybrief trailer featuring footagewe’ve already seen. After that, if you say the word “twilight,” (Well, I could only get results saying “twilight” and was unable to get any results saying “twilight world.") you’ll be taken to a page which features the phrase “and there are no friends at dusk” and offers you a downloadable GIF of the most recent (and aforementioned) poster.
What’s interesting about the GIF is that, unlike the poster, it’s clear there are doorways or portals in the background and what looks like people running through them. It’s very possible these doorway portals are part of the key to unlocking the mystery of inversion which is at the heart ofTenet’s plot. But, we won’t actually be able to confirm that untilTenethits theaters (maybe) in mid-August.
Tenetis still scheduledto plunge us into a twilight worldfor release on Wednesday, August 12. Get even more updates on all things Nolan righthere.
