Tenet by Christopher Nolan has pulled out all the stops. So you really need to be more excited about Tenet.
John David Washington, the leading man, has revealed that the crash of the plane that you can see in the trailer was actually in real life. It happened right in front of the crew.
Christopher Nolan has explained things about Tenet. According to him, buying a plane was way cheaper than building miniatures and combining it with CGI.
John David Washington has said, “We gathered, they made an announcement like ‘this is the moment it’s happening’, all the crew gathered around and we watched a real plane crash into a real hanger.”
The Plane Was There For More Than A Week
Washington continued about the plane in Tenet. He said, “It stayed there [the plane] and we shot around it for I guess the next week or so.”
“It was scary because I was thinking you know, what if there’s a rock, what if it veers to the left, to the right, the wrong way. What happens then? So many things could go wrong. But they didn’t, it worked out.”
“I’m like ‘wow, they crashed a real plane, this isn’t like a prop. This is a real plane’. I thought they were going to do the model thing, they did not.”
“I forget who it was, it might have been Emma [Thomas, producer], somebody on set said ‘you’ll never experience anything like this maybe again’. Nobody uses practical effects in this way and this epic.”
He was about advice that his father might have given him. He said, “Honestly, it could be the boring answer but he has an incredible amount of faith in his beliefs, in God and the spiritual aspect of it in our lives that informed the craft as well.”
“That being said, with that faith in mind and having that spirituality base, it’s a lot of hard work. You have to do your research, you have to be relentless in how you prepare for a role. Learn the person, learn what they’re doing. I keep journals and doodles of all kinds of background on the characters that I play.”
