Elizabeth Debicki opens up about her life. Now what about that top-secret project?
“The London-based Australian actress is currently staying in L.A. as she preps for “Tenet,” her film with Nolan, the director behind 2000’s “Memento,” 2010’s “Inception” and 2017’s “Dunkirk.” Like most Nolan films, little is known about “Tenet,” which stars Debicki, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh and Michael Caine. According to a Hollywood Reporter story, the film is “a globe-trotting adventure” that involves “the time continuum.” However, Debicki remained mum about her role and the film’s subject.
“I can tell you absolutely nothing,” she said. “Literally nothing.”
But has she met her cast mates? Seen a script? And does she know anything about the production schedule? “Yes, yes and yes,” she said. “I’m sort of pinching myself on a daily basis, but I am entirely sworn to secrecy — now and forever.”
Debicki was more forthcoming while discussing Nolan.
“The thing I’m most looking forward to is being in proximity with his mind,” she said. “I have been a huge fan of his work since I can remember. His contribution to film is seminal. … He is a genius so to be able to work with him is a total privilege.”
Filming will start at this old Soviet sailing academy later this month.
They also want to film on this highway for up to a month for a “Matrix reloaded” style car chase in Estonia.
