    Inception

    Christopher Nolan has been one of my favorite filmmakers since day one. In my opinion the guy has never made a bad film. Now comes his biggest film outside of the Batman franchise.

    INCEPTION

    I'll post a better version of the trailer once it's available.

    I still really don't know what this film is about, but damn I'm drooling at the mouth to check it out. A great filmmaker's idea on a huge hollywood budget? This has the potential to be EPIC. It also has the potential to be a huge bomb, but looking at Nolan's track record I doubt it.

    "Inception" trailer... Wow!

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I'll definitely check this out. I kept forgetting to see the trailers until t'other day. Looks pretty cool ... even though nobody knows what it's all about. Looking forward to seeing what Joseph Gordon Levitt gets up to in it as well - the dude's a quality actor.

    I saw this the first time it came out... it was called dreamscape.

    I read up on the premise and it sounds like Dreamscape...

    I rather enjoyed Dreamscape in my youth so I look forward to this film!

    So is it actually a remake of that?

    I haven't seen Dreamscape, but I'm pretty sure Inception has nothing to do with it. They may be similar, but Inception is credited as an original script from Chris Nolan.

    Warner Bros. Pictures has released an official synopsis for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated yet still very mysterious thriller "Inception" - a synopsis that delivers a basic outline of the story at last:

    "Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams.

    Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable.

    Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved.

    Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one.

    If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming."

    The film is scheduled to hit theatres on July 16th. Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine also star.

    Dreamscape (1984)
    A government funded project looks into using psychics to enter people's dreams, with some mechanical help. When a subject dies in his sleep from a heart attack Alex Gardner becomes suspicious that another of the psychics is killing people in the dreams somehow and that is causing them to die in real life. He must find a way to stop the abuse of the power to enter dreams. Written by Zaphod <aaa@scs.leeds.ac.uk>

    A man who can enter and manipulate people's dreams is recruited by a government agency to help cure the President of the United States of his nightmares about nuclear war but finds a conspiracy is hiding the true reason behind the research. Written by Keith Loh <loh@sfu.ca>

    Not exactly the same but pretty close.... Still sounds cool!!!

    Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I saw the trailer the other day. I think before shitty Ironman 2? My kid was drooling over Cilian, and I was groaning over Leo.
    After Shutter Island, I ain't falling for any of his crappy overacting. He still looks like he's 12 years old. The rest of the cast looked decent enough, though...
