It’s not every day that you go to the cinema and that you’re in the same room as a real A-lister, but that’s what happened to a few lucky people who saw an advanced screening of Tenet earlier this week.
Those who attended a socially distant screening of Christopher Nolan’s new blockbuster at the IMAX in London’s Waterloo may or may not have realized that Tom Cruise was in it to see the film like everyone else.
This kind of thing probably happens all the time (this particular writer once saw Graham Norton at a screening of Noah, do you think that movie?) but given that this is the first big movie released during the coronavirus pandemic thought he would publish a video of his trip to the photos and in typical Cruise way it was quite fun and strange.
Yes, it’s Tom Cruise who gets a taxi to a cinema, films his experience in the dark (which is not exactly a great thing to do in the cinema. Think of others, Tom) and then tells everyone to to him that it was “great to have everyone back in a movie theater.” Nice to see that even Scientologists are not anti-masks and that Cruise covers his face with something that is in a Mission: Impossible film.
Many people were glad that Cruise enjoyed watching the movie, although he could just tweet that he liked it instead of making a short movie, but then this is Tom Cruise.
However, Twitter users soon found themselves enjoying the video that Cruise re-introduced to other films, as referring to some of his most famous roles.
Tenet was delayed several times due to the pandemic, but was released on August 26 in the United Kingdom, with the American public having to wait until September 3. Other big movies supported by Covid-19 are Marvel’s Black Widow, Wonder Woman 1984, The New Mutants and the new James Bond movie No time to die.
