Tenet's time-bending chase on Laagna Road
Tenet's car chase, where some cars drive backwards in time, was shot on Laagna Road. This freeway links the city centre with Lasnamäe. The film crew first wanted the road closed for a whole month. Mayor Mihhail Kõlvart worried about the traffic. In June 2019 the city offered a compromise: up to ten days of shooting with temporary closures. The road had to stay open on Mondays and Tuesdays and in rush hours. Longer detours were allowed only at weekends. Emergency vehicles had to get through at all times, and the bridges over the road stayed open except for short pauses when the helicopter flew over. Many locals were cast as stunt drivers. Today Laagna Road is again a busy commuter artery.

"Teneti" autode tagaajamine, kus osa autosid sõidab ajas tagurpidi, filmiti Laagna teel. See kiirtee ühendab kesklinna Lasnamäega. Võttegrupp soovis algul tee terveks kuuks sulgeda. Linnapea Mihhail Kõlvart muretses liikluse pärast. 2019. aasta juunis pakkus linn kompromissi: kuni kümme võttepäeva ajutiste liikluspiirangutega. Esmaspäeviti ja teisipäeviti ning tipptundidel pidi tee olema avatud. Pikemad ümbersõidud olid lubatud ainult nädalavahetustel. Päästeautod pidid saama alati läbi ja teed ületavad sillad jäid avatuks, välja arvatud lühikesed pausid helikopteri ülelendude ajal. Paljud kohalikud said rolli kaskadöörautojuhtidena. Praegu on Laagna tee jälle tihe linnamagistraal.
