The teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming Inception was released in some theaters with Inglourious Basterds last Friday, and the one-minute clip is now online thanks to Yahoo.
We’ve been talking about the film based on the logline “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind” for quite a while, and we have the rumored plot that says “Inception is about entering peoples’ minds/dreams. A technology to do so has been developed and is done through an injection. DiCaprio and his team work to enter the minds of other characters in order to retrieve/plant information.” Those things could well hold true, and the ‘your mind is the scene of the crime’ tagline suggests that more planting info will be done than retrieving. After seeing this teaser I expect The Matrix will be brought up fairly frequently. Here we see a brief fight scene in what appears to be a hotel corridor, with the participants bouncing all over the walls and ceiling. And in general, a lack of solid grounding and perspective is what characterizes the teaser. There’s a reason that spinning top was used for the initial tease on Inception’s website.
Meanwhile, the cinematography seems to be a direct extension of what Wally Pfister did for Nolan on The Dark Knight. I loved Pfister’s work on that film, so I’m curious to see how he pushes it forward here. And while the Hans Zimmer score for the teaser is on the bombastic edge, it is also not the typical bombastic movie teaser music, but more in line with the atonal work Zimmer did for The Dark Knight. What is Nolan going to unleash here now that he’s not bound to a universe owned by DC? We see overhead city shots (as per TDK), the WB logo as a maze of streets, and a similar set of buildings resolving into a maze for the film’s logo. Is Nolan mapping the human mind to a cityscape?
Inception features Leonardo DiCaprio as Jacob, a CEO-type, Marion Cotillard (La Vie en rose, Public Enemies) as his wife, Ellen Page (Juno) as a young college grad student named Ariadne, who is also DiCaprio’s sidekick, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Arthur, an associate working for DiCaprio. Ken Watanabe will play the film’s villain, a man named Saito, who is blackmailing Leonardo DiCaprio’s character. Tom Hardy (Bronson) plays Eames, a member of DiCaprio’s team. Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Sunshine) plays Fischer and Michael Caine is also involved.
Another Twilight star will be showing off her lady bits — and there’s no nude photo leak involved!
Kristen Stewart will be stripping — all in the name of art, of course — in Welcome To The Rileys, an indie flick starring Sopranos mob boss James Gandolfini. The movie is about a stripper who unites a grieving couple (James and Oscar nominee Melissa Leo) who have drifted apart after the death of their young daughter.
“It’s an independent movie that nobody would normally see,” Kristen said, “and now it’s like, ‘Oh, let’s go see ‘Bella’ in this stripper movie. It’ll be crazy!’”
Also in the works for the actress: playing Joan Jett in The Runaways and the next two Twilight Saga movies: New Moon and Eclipse.
Youth in Revolt is the irreverent story about the wild adventures of a teenage boy named Nick Twisp who meets the girl of his dreams while on a family vacation and has to turn his life and the lives of all those around him upside down in order to be with her.
I saw this trailer when I saw Inglourious Basterds this weekend, and it looks hilarious! I love Michael Cera!
