Following a record-shattering in-game Travis Scott concert and track premiere last month, Fortnite debuted another high-profile piece of content yesterday: the trailer for famed director Christopher Nolan’s latest film: Tenet.
Airing in Fortnite’s new Party Royale mode, the trailer is airing every hour for 24 hours — beginning yesterday at 8 pm ET — followed by an interview with gaming vet Geoff Keighley and the film’s star, John David Washington. And as part of Nolan’s newly-forged partnership with Fortnite, Keighley announced after the trailer screening that Nolan will be bringing one of his (to-be-announced) films to the game for a full-length screening later this summer.
Little is known about Tenet, which is set to arrive in theaters on
July 17 — a questionable eventuality given current coronavirus concerns. (That said, Nolan has made clear his abiding love for movie theaters, calling them in a March Washington Post op-ed “a vital part of American social life”). The trailer for the sci-fi thriller, also starring Robert Pattinson, alludes to the looming threat of World War III, as well as the ability to reverse the flow of time.This isn’t the first time that a bold-faced director has turned to Fortnite to showcase new work. Last December, auteur J.J. Abrams screened footage of The Rise of Skywalker inside the game.
