Inception and The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan's newest movie, Tenet, is now in theatres in Australia ahead of its premiere in the US on September 3. We recently had the chance to speak with the three main stars, John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Elizabeth Debicki about their experience working on the film and more. We couldn't resist asking about their favorite video games, and they supplied some excellent responses.

Speaking about the movie first, though, John David Washington--who plays the lead character, known only as The Protagonist--said he was eager to take on a role that was physically demanding. In the movie, Washington constantly finds himself in the middle of a brawl, and he gets creative at times with the weaponry he uses. In one particularly memorable fight scene in a kitchen, Washington grabs the nearest object--a cheese grater--and uses it against a foe with great effect. Washington joked (we think!) that Nolan specifically asked for more cheese grater scenes--here's to hoping that makes it into the director's cut.

"It was great to be able to learn how to fight and train with [stunt coordinator] George Cottle and the stunt team and the fight coordinators. It's funny you talk about the cheese grater, because that's one of the notes that Christopher Nolan had, 'I need more cheese grater, John David. Really get it in there! [laughs].'"
