"I went to meet him, and we kind of talked for three hours, and I have no idea what I'm meeting for, what the subject is," Pattinson said. "I was actually going back through his filmography to kind of try and predict what sort of genre he would go into next. And then, after hours of talking, he finally kind of said in the last two minutes, "So, I've been writing this thing and would you like to come back and read it?"
That's the extent to which Nolan mentioned 'Tenet' to Pattinson during their three-hour meeting. The actor would not reveal what else they discussed, although the conversation went on for so long that Pattinson was exhausted to the point of nearly passing out. Pattinson at one point requested to have a snack since the meeting was lasting so long, and at the time he thought that might cost him the job.
"There was this pack of chocolates on the table," Pattinson said. "I had a massive blood sugar drop by the end of this conversation. I thought I was going to pass out because we'd been talking so much. I was trying to concentrate so much. Finally, I asked for one of the chocolates and he immediately ended the meeting. I was like, oh my god, I *****ed it up."
