Filmmaker Christopher Nolan has teased that seven-time Grammy nominated rapper Travis Scott’s new song is the ‘final piece’ of the puzzle that is Nolan’s new film “Tenet”.
In a new profile piece with GQ, Scott revealed he has contributed a song to Nolan’s new international espionage thriller, but could not go into any detail saying: “you literally just have to watch it. It’s very fire.”
Nolan himself offered a quote to the publication, saying: “his voice became the final piece of a yearlong puzzle. His insights into the musical and narrative mechanism [composer] Ludwig Goransson and I were building were immediate, insightful, and profound.”
The news comes as Film Stories reports that the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) originally gave the film a 15 rating, and so the studio has had to “remove a few shots of a man kicking a woman”. As a result of the cuts, it has now landed a 12A – the UK equivalent of PG-13.
The mystery project will first open in 70 countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain and the U.K. on August 26th with sneak peeks taking place in Australia this weekend. Select US cities will see the film open on September 3rd ahead of the Labor Day weekend, with some sneak previews in from that Monday.
