Robert Pattinson saysTenetis 'the greatest plate-spinning trick you've ever seen'

The actor recalls the first time he read the script for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming movie.

“It didn’t have a title page or anything.”

It is fair to say Pattinson was blown away by what he read that day.

“You really think its going to be a particular throw in of genre,” he told EW.

Then it just completely morphs into an entirely different genre, which is very, very unexpected.

My first impression was it seems like the greatest plate-spinning trick you’ve ever seen.

It becomes a magic trick, this feat of engineering, the script.

When I first read it, I was just kind of amazed by the ingenuity of the writing.

Luckily, I didnt have to plan it at all.

I just had to turn up."

Were crossing a few different genres in a hopefully exciting and fresh way.

We shot in seven countries, all over the place, with a massive cast and huge set pieces.

Theres no question, its the most ambitious film weve made.
