Christopher Nolan has offered some insight into his top secret upcoming film Tenet, insisting it is ‘not a time-travel film.’

That said, the 49-year-old says the flick still ‘deals with time’.

Confused? Us too.

Then again, we expect nothing less from the man behind mind-bending masterpieces like Inception and Interstellar.

Tenet, which stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson and Elizabeth Debicki, is out on 31 July, and still, virtually nothing is known about it.

While giving little away, Chris did elaborate on some of Tenet’s themes in his interview.

Speaking to EW, he said: ‘It deals with time and the different ways in which time can function.

‘Not to get into a physics lesson, but inversion is this idea of material that has had its entropy inverted, so it’s running backwards through time, relative to us.’

Okay then.

He expanded: ‘We’re dealing in a world of espionage, we’re dealing in a world of hidden identities.

‘[John David] is playing an operative who is known by the term “Protagonist.” Tenet is the name of the organization into which the Protagonist gets inducted.’

Robert plays a ‘slightly rascally character who operates within what they refer to as this twilight world of operatives in different secret services.’

We’re thinking… James Bond meets Black Mirror?

Other films directed by Chris include dramas Dunkirk and The Prestige.

He also directed Christian Bale in the Batman films Batman Begins, The Dark Night and The Dark Knight Rises.
