It’s the fun part.”  Mr Nolan’s new film Tenet is due to arrive in cinemas next year.  A trailer, released on Thursday, features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Sir Michael Caine and Sir Kenneth Branagh.  The clip ends with the tagline Time Runs Out, followed by the date July 2020, when the film will be released in cinemas.  Nolan was born in London to a British father and an American mother.  He studied English at University College London (UCL) and chose the school because of its filmmaking facilities.  While at UCL, Mr Nolan was president of the film society and produced short films while studying.  It is also where he met his future wife, Emma Thomas, with whom he has four children and runs a production company, Syncopy.  Nolan said he was joined by his family for the ceremony, adding: “Their reaction coming was of tremendous excitement and I think it’s a big thrill for them to come here to Buckingham Palace and to see all of this.”  Other people honoured at the investiture ceremony include best-selling author Joanna Trollope, who was made CBE for services to literature, and comic actor Griff Rhys Jones, who was made OBE for services to entertainment and for charity  Reporting by Press Association.
