Not much is known about Nolan’s next film, “Tenet,” save for its genre (international espionage thriller), cast (Robert Pattinson and Kenneth Branagh), studio (Warner Bros.), release date (July 2020) — and the near certainty that it will score big at the box office. That’s why Nolan is the rare writer-director working today allowed to put a personal stamp on comic-book movies (think “Dark Knight” trilogy) and make intellectually challenging and original big-budget movies such as “Interstellar” (2014) and the best picture Oscar nominees “Inception” (2010) and World War II drama “Dunkirk” (2017), which earned him his first Academy Award nod for director. Studios even indulge Nolan’s love of film, allowing him to shoot on celluloid even when it’s de rigueur to go digital.
