I went to see Hobbs and Shaw last Thursday when it opened and it was a ton of fun. But I got one surprise that I wasn’t expecting, a teaser for Christopher Nolan’s next movie, Tenet. It was about a minute and only gave glimpses of the movie and not enough to put together a narrative or to give us an idea of what kind of movie to expect, but the vibe of the trailer reminded me of the teaser for Inception which debuted about 11 months before the movie came out. This teaser was a special treat and gave me a nice taste of what to expect and I can’t wait for the full course meal next year.
After the debut of the teaser, I realized I didn’t find it online earlier that day, or afterwards at the time of writing this. I don’t get as excited about seeing teasers or trailers on the big screen because I can find them online or there are so many that I tend to think “not another one”, but this was a treat. It also got me thinking that it would be cool to make the teaser and/or trailer available in theaters first before dropping them online. I don’t think this needs to be the case for every movie, but certain ones. What do you think?
