Use it carefully.

Audiences.

I've never seen anything like this before.

It's a swift, kind of action packed adventure movie.

There are certainly images that I have never seen before on screen.

It's a really hair raising, high stakes thriller from an extraordinary filmmaker To do what I dio.

I need some idea of the threat we face.

Tenant is an espionage story.

It's a classic spy story.

I grew up loving spy movies, but to make it sing to today's audiences, I sort of felt like for me to really engage with it.

I wanted it toe have bigger possibilities.

Time travel no and version We'll film deals with this concept of inversion, which is the idea that the entropy of an object or a person could be reversed.

It's very much cinematic.

It's something that you have to see on the screen to fully engage with.

Name it, improve a tree.

Yeah, shooting the bullet, catching it.

Oh, I really pulled from and dug into my athletic experience.

More than ever, the training was paramount.

Nobody's ever thrown a inverted punch before, So how does how do you make that real life, you know, he had incredibly complex fight sequences.

Way definitely pushed him to his limit.

It was intense.

That's what was so exciting.

Thes moves we've never seen before.

I mean, these stunt guys, we've been around a long time.

They were learning, which was the fun challenge of it all.

It what I've seen too much.

We'll try and keep up.

This is my third film with Chris Nolan.

You kind of realize when you read it Oh, how are we going to do this?

Because he's gonna want to do this for real.

Chris is really great in that he wants it for Riel.

He wants it in camera.

He doesn't want to do C G.

E has seen a green screen anywhere.

Um, we're doing everything in camera, our method of visual faxes trying thio everything Without them, it's almost like documentary like it's for All Practical is all there.

It just pumps you up to know that, and it's extremely helpful, obviously, on the performance level for the actors.

E.

I think the audience is always aware on some level of the difference between things that are animated on something that's been photographed we always take the approach that, if we possibly can, we'd like the actors to be in real environments.

Departure.

Well, I was in.

I didn't want any nothing, though.

I wanted to do it for the team because it was just benefits the film.

Everybody was blown away by John Davis Enthusiasm.

The physicality of that man's out of this world.

If we hadn't had a performer off such skill and energy, those things would have been possible to do in camera.

Chris after one of the meetings, he was like, It's gonna be hard He said it just like Ted and I laughed.

But months later, yeah, yeah, you were right, sir.

It was very hard.

Chris always sets the tone.

He sets the tone for me and for the actors, the actor on a Chris Nolan should is very much, you know, it's very much part of crew.

Do you feel the sense to someone who's telling the story this way?

Because that's what he passionately believes.

It this man, he just stands there.

I don't know how he does it.

He's right.

There is Involvement is more than 100%.

He really loves it.

He can just keep shooting at the rain's coming down.

He's like loving it.

You lose the right to complain about anything.

It's a good move on his body.

It's infectious.

You can't help but want to keep going and give it your all every film you're trying.

Thio challenge yourself because you're trying to give something new to the audience.

You do that by building on what you've done in the past.

Every production we have came a step further, and every production has more and more sequences in it that we chose to shoot on Imex.

At this point, they're sort of the workhorse for us, which is really funny, because when we first started shooting with them, it was such a big deal.

It's a very imposing camera, feels very important, issues something that I'm X.

There's a nice pressure to it.

It kind of makes you bring your a game pretty quickly because you know that this film is kind of precious.

As I understand it, we're trying to prevent World War Three.

I'm not saying I'm again here.

No, something Waas the international component to 10.

It is very important story because it's really about threat to the entire world.

Chris always envisioned.

This film is a sort of globetrotting action epic, and obviously the best way to do that is to actually travel yourself.

It definitely plays into the sort of scope of the film.

Enlarges to canvass way were going places during the busiest times Summer in Amalfi, Monsoon season in India.

Prep on this film was really complicated because we were based out of L.

A and making plans for these huge actions that pieces all over the world.

We shut down in eight kilometer freeway for three weeks, had hundreds and hundreds of extras and cars and stuntman driving on it, doing great action.

That was the first for me.

When will we ever be able to do this in life?

You know where to shut down the whole entire freeway.

It defined the scale of it.

You know, in the end, what you see is an audience is a fragment or is a shot.

But you are filming a reality.

You know, you you wanna buy into that reality.

So in that way, relocation always helps a lot to be actually in the thing.

To feel the thing physically move around you or feel the boat rock under you.

It just obviously organically feeds the truth of a performance.

It goes for his sweet spot, which is how do you make great cinema not not just tell stories in pictures, But how do you make the experience of cinema?

Yes, you could recreate India in a sound stage or London and a sound stage on you're not going to capture the essence or the authenticity.

Now, I think being in those locations, the audience gets to experience that they're gonna see that it's not green screen and they're gonna be amazed by it.

You want to crash a plane?

We're not from the air.

It was such a massive right in the plane crash.

I knew I wanted to try and do it in some ways in camera.

It read on the page is the most exciting sequence, and I definitely was scratching my head about how we were going to achieve it.

One of the first things I asked Chris was, How big do you want the plane?

He, uh, laughed, and I said, I think I get you a real plane to see a plane like this, actually kind of makes you realize what we're all flying in when we're flying these things a huge only we tend to get the scale of it when we're just kind of walking in through the gangplank.

There was an enormous amount of prep that went into that sequence because we were shooting at a working airport on board.

They're not traditionally, you know, in the business of crushing planes for really I was like how they're gonna pull this off like there's no way they're gonna crash this thing into that building.

A lot of these sequences are you gonna read in the script.

You just think, yeah, would be cool in a movie e When you get to certain it's like, Yeah, we've got a 7 47 or crashing into a building.

That's how we're achieving the 7 47 crashing into a building.

It feels very, very riel essence because it is really don't try toe, understand it, feel it with tenant.

I'm hoping to really give the audience a reason for re approaching action, son, so that they get some of that sense of excitement that I had when I was a kid watching in first by movies I saw.

I'm hoping that this gives people a sort of ultimate cinematic experience.

You feel you're being taken through story, but you also feel you're part of stories.

That's what's wonderful about his forms.

You just get transported into a different world, and that's what cinema is to me.

It has to transport.

It has to be larger than life.

I mean, it's the biggest movie anyone's ever done that.

But no one's doing this stuff, and I don't think they have a look at.

Nobody can really hold a candle to what Chris does, which is create this epic tale off survival and in it threat on incredibly human story.

I think you're seeing Christopher Nolan inspired.

You're going into an experience that you never had before in the cinema.

It's a brilliantly calculated, precise, controlled amazing story that's also completely out of control.

Once you're on the ride of tenant, you're gonna have to really hold on to your seat.

How would you like to die?
