Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION Teaser Now Online!

Published at:  Aug 24, 2009 1:49:07 PM CDT

Beaks here...



Thus far, all we know about Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION is that it is a contemporary science-fiction thriller "set inside the architecture of the mind." This might be frustratingly vague for some, but it's good enough for me. All I need to know is that one of the world's most talented filmmakers is hard at work shooting a brainy sci-fi flick on a $200 million budget with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy (about to blow you away in BRONSON), Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine and the criminally underappreciated Tom Berenger. That's a murderer's row of acting talent right there.

So I'm pleased that the just-released teaser trailer for INCEPTION, which debuted this weekend in front of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, gives us nothing more than a tagline ("Your mind is the scene of the crime") and the promise of a bizarre, gravity-defying fight in the hallway of an office building. I have no idea what's going on in this sequence, but it looks fucking spectacular. I assume that the set is on a gimbal, but that doesn't explain why, as seen in the below picture, the combatants are crashing into the ceiling with considerable velocity while that cart is just idly bouncing about on the floor.



Very cool. Make sure to watch the trailer in HD. And try not to get too worked up, as the film isn't due out until next July.

    by ribbons

    I remember in the last few 'Inception' TalkBacks there was some back-and-forth over whether Caine was actually a part of the cast (and I think Caine might have even answered in the negative in an interview), but there's his name in the teaser, which I assume is slightly more reliable than IMDb.

    by donduck

    I'm not gonna force anyone to like Leo as actor, but it seems like very ignorant people have already made up their minds about him when Titanic was released. Is that really fair? He's done so much to work since then and has proven to be a capable actor, but he gets shit on by certain naysayers who can't get over his past image as a pretty boy. Leo's earn it, in my book.

    And for me, that's no bad thing. Getting fed up of taglines or crap about The Dark Knight though....apart from a genuinely superb performance from Ledger, the film itself was not nearly as good as it's fellated. Thought Batman Begins was better, personally.....and for a film like this I'd like to see a tagline saying 'From the Director of Memento' but hey, that's me. Minor quibble I know but I'm bored so I thought I'd share.

    by basement_cheetoh_eater

    If only because it is generated by some people's jealousy of his looks and popularity. OK people reality check: Basketball Diaries, A Boy's Life, The Departed, Catch Me If You Can, Blood Diamond, Revolutionary Road, The Beach, The Aviator, Gangs of New York, Titanic...sigh I'm done - all of these films were considered good by some or most of the population. Hate Leo if you want to....but try and remember that he's been in more films nominated for Best Picture than you've had hot dinners. Food for thought.

    Leo Hate

    by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead

    Leo hate has always left me more than a little befuddled. The fucking guy can act; not only can he act, he blows big stars off the screen. What has he left you all wanting? What hasn;t he accomplished on that screen? It's the world we live in today, if Cary Grant lived in the days of the internet, he would be the most hated actor alive. Should Dicaprio disfgure himself to make all of you like him. Or is it simply the fact that he is popular and good looking that drives all of you geeks out there to showcase your deep insecurities by way of hating the most talented actor of his generation just because he's attractive? The bottom line is he's worked the the greatest directors working today and Martin Fucking Scorcese falls all over himself actually picking projects around Leo's availability and liking. If that doesn't afford him a pass than nothing will.

    There's nothing to be jealous of Leo about. You named a bunch of good movies, but just because he's in someone else's good work doesn't make him amazing. And Oscar nods and counts don't mean anything when Gary Oldman and Mia Farrow have never been nominated and Hitchcock never won a directing Oscar.

    TT I agree that he doesn't make action movies so much as movies with some action in them. But Col. Fatheart, just because a character is supposed to disoriented doesn't mean we have to be. The whole sequence at the end of TDK was like some shit out of Daredevil. Even before he got to the Joker you couldn't tell what was going on, so they decided to have Morgan Freeman literally telling Batman (and us) what was happening. Still love the movie, though, just thought it became a little bit of a mess towards the end.

    I think if the only thing u can criticize about Nolan is his direction of action scenes is the only thing thats not to bad. His story telling his direction of his actors and his writing along with his brother makes up for all of that. Nolan's work is a breath of fresh air he made Batman which has been done over and over again original and for that he can do no worng with me....But I know that nobody is perfect but ill take his imperfection.

    when we used our Avatar Day discounts to see the next showing of Inglourious Bastards. And sorry, just by this teaser I'm about 10-times more hyped for this than Avatar. The visuals in that 15-minute preview WERE impressive (if still occasionally quite cartoon-y) but the acting/dialogue will absolutely ruin that movie for me. Terrible. Nolan on the other hand usually has quite lovely dialogue in his screenplays and can get great performances from great actors...which this movie is full of. I can't imagine this movie being anything other than amazing.

    from any Matrix talk, are we? The look and feel of the trailer - the cuts, the lighting, the fight, even the WB logo -- are just evocative enough to feel ever-so familiar without committing outright theft. The movie itself may be far different (I hope so, as much as I loved the original Matrix), but this has got that feel for sure and you know it wasn't an accident.

    THE MATRIX is one of the most derivative, unoriginal works of cinema in recent history. Besides, we've seen a teaser, I don't think one hallway scene is going to really speak for the entire film. Nolan doesn't strike me as the type to make a MATRIX movie. He's all about the mind-fuck. Why go to old, worn-out territory ruined by the Wachowski siblings?

    by performingmonkey

    He really got his shit together for The Dark Knight but people still complain because he didn't conform with what they consider to be 'action' scenes. He obviously doesn't want to do conventional action for Batman as it messes up the feel of the character and universe. You can't just pull a load of action-stylee shots without the tone going to shit. Do you want Michael Bay to direct Batman 3?? Nolan may not be the master of action but he's learning how to adapt it to the style he's going for. Now...SWEAR TO ME!!!

    Nolan never cares about female characters. He can't write women and can't direct them. But I guess that's okay as long as he's doing dark, brooding boys movies that make a shitload of money. I mean... the Burton Batmans sported a fairly attractive female cast. Basinger. Pfeiffer. Even Schumacher brought on a very sexy Nicole Kidman in "Batman Forever" to make up for an otherwise sub-par movie. And the roles were even well-written. But Holmes and Gyllenhall were sooo TERRIBLE in Nolan's Batman films... two reasons why I will never embrace Nolan's take on the myth. Batman Begins wasn't a very good film and The Dark Knight even less so. There, I said it.

    And that's definitely not a bad thing, good to see a top notch director handed the money to follow his imagination. After all, one thing you can say about Nolan as a director is that his work's very controlled which can't be bad with that kind of budget.One other thing, I'm not a hater but contrary to what people are saying Di Caprio isn't much of an actor, though he does deserve acclaim for picking interesting work. He's completely unbelievable as a tough guy, he's almost never the most compelling actor in any film he's in and his southern African accent in Blood Diamond accent was worse than Patsy Kensit's. Literally. Go back and watch them again.

    That Leo will play a guy named Herb Cheeses, an insurance salesman by day, cock-fight promoter by night. Cheeses has a love of rooster violence and young Asian boys. He meets a banjo-playing miscreant/municipal bureaucrat played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Levitt's character eats all things with a spoon which he carries on his person. The spoon once belonged to Peter Lawford. On the last Tuesday of the month, these two men go on a road-trip adventure to stop a package from being delivered-- a package that will either kill all mankind or make the skies rain Skittles® upon the human race. Leo is also prone to sipping apple juice through a sippy cup in this movie. That's what I got from the trailer.

    OK Gents, I need some help with a movie title. This movie was released in the early 80's and was about college students (I think) who would play a game with pellet or paint guns, but someone starts playing for real and shooting the competitors. The game was you have a card with the name of a person you need to shoot and they have a card with a name, maybe you, maybe someone else, and you have to get to the end. The mystery is to find out who is really killing instead of playing the game.. It's not "Gotcha." help please..

    Batman, at its heart, is a male-centric thing.

    by kevred

    I strongly believe in gender parity in moviedom as a whole, but to expect every artist and every film to have parity is a bit silly, really. Everyone has a story to tell, and they each use different measures of ingredients.Only the campy manifestations of Batman have heavily featured women. Not to say that it couldn't be done well, but it hasn't really been yet. It's always more of an awkward fit compared to, say, Superman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, etc, where the presence of women--protagonists, lovers, mothers, aunts, etc.--is more integral to who the main characters are and their motives.Batman is a brooding guy who lost his mother as a child and now lives in a cave, seeking revenge and unfulfilled by material wealth. It's got a lot of the male psyche, warts and all, in it.

    This movie will have something to do with uploading your mind into a simulated universe or some type of neural implant that allows you to experience your past thoughts. It's imperative that Leo induces himself into this simulated reality because he's been framed for a murder that he didn't commit. So it's up to him to find the real killer and vindicate his name. Also, we'll get some philosophical revelation about the true inner workings of the human mind, and how our thoughts dictate the reality you experience. SNORE!

    His idea of forum relevance is being a contrarian and saying that anything successful or popular sucks. Which, to be frank, is what most ignorant cunts do to look cool in the 5th grade - a few like Interneti, do it more frequently. Leo Dicaprio has been in MULTIPLE films nominated for Best Picture including two winners. Hell, he was in two films nominated in the same year once (Blood DIamond, The Departed). And Nolan is pretentious? Sure - if all you know is Paul Blart: Mall Copy or the half dozen titles you bought with the words "american" and "pie" in them. What a donkeyfluffer Interneti is.

    Leo -- top twenty at best ...

    by reportabuse

    I'm 'meh' about him in general, I don't h8 on him but I don't find him that compelling. I can rattle of plenty of male actors I find more interesting on screen than him -- Oldman, Lewis, Pitt, Norton, Penn, Gyllenhaal, Malkovich, Irons, hell even Depp is more intriguing than Dicaprio and is more likely to get me into a theater. Maybe it's his choice of material or maybe his innate range limits his choice of material to sort of 'blah' characters that often seem to take a back seat to other characters. I think Daniel Day Lewis ate his lunch in Gangs of New York for instance and you can probably find similar instances. Can you ever picture him as a Willy Wonka (Depp), or as either of the main characters in Fight Club, or as Lennon assassin Mark Chapman (a role that Jake Gyllenhaal practically disappeared into in the rarely seen "Chapter 27")? About the only time he ever stood out was in full-on 'tard mode in Gilbert Grape way back when, but then full-on 'tard mode (as anyone who's seen Tropic Thunder knows) is a questionable choice at best as Sean Penn found out in I Am Sam. I enjoyed The Aviator for its flying scenes, but found Dicapiro not totally convincing as Hughes and could imagine Edward Norton doing it much better.

    by rindain

    Well, duh. But for real, there was so much potential there. The second movie had some amazing moments, but they should have taken the concept of Neo as a Godlike figure (able to summon objects, fly, walk through walls, and do pretty much any crazy stuff he wanted) and ran with it. Plus they never addressed the very question the movie was begging: how do we know the "real world" isn't another Matrix? What if it is Matrices all the way down?

    by evangelion217

    Now this is what I call "cool news." Nolan is a genius, and one of the finest filmmakers in modern cinema. He's right up there with Tarantino, Fincher, and Anderson. "TDK" is the most and one of the most thoughtful action films ever made. "Memento" came close to being a masterpiece, "Batman Begins" was a great character study, "The Prestige" was an intelligent twist film, and "Insomnia" was an engrossing detective film.

    Nolan has not made a bad film yet, and it's great to see him do another personal film on a big budget! :)

    by dingbatty

    that take me out of the movie because I keep thinking his character is a teen. He would've made a decent LOTR elf.Looks like the other manboy JGL is in this, as well.But I'm one to talk as I've got fey looks, too, and Leo's only a year younger than I, but...I'm not trying to convince anyone I'm a rugged, tempered manly man. Yet, I was all prepared to hate Titanic; saw it years after everyone else, when my aunt dumped off all her old VHS when she upgraded, so I sat and watched the damned thing, and damned if he wasn't charming in that. The story lost me when she wouldn't get in the fucking boat, though. He could've had that bit of furniture to himself and perhaps survived. Then old Rose pitched the gem into the sea, instead of selling it and, say, possibly donating the cash to a battered women's shelter? Stupidity.

    How anyone can get really excited by this trailer is just gushing love for Nolan. I'm not saying the movie will be bad, in fact it'll probably be great like most of his work. But seriously, the guys jumping around walls is getting you wet behind the ears? With all the talk of how unoriginal Avatar is, you'd think people would see how this is exactly the type of stylized action that dominates Hollywood today.

    There's really nothing there to get excited about it, but how could there be..? its 15 seconds of footage. And stop comparing this with Avatar, when did it become uncool to look forward to multiple movies?

    Oh and Leo is a damn good actor, and anyone who says different is full of it. If anyone here was an actor you would do unspeakable things to get a role in a James Cameron movie, so don't blame him for doing Titanic one bit. You people act like he starred in Battlefield Earth.

    Gordon-Levitt is a talented young actor, but to be honest I don't really know if I want to see somebody else stepping into the same role at all, even less so because they're really good at imitating Heath Ledger and kinda sorta look like him in make-up perhaps. It's all kinds of weirds to me, and I can just imagine Warner Bros. catching wind of the idea and stepping on Nolan's nuts to make it happen. IF Nolan wants to do a sequel, and IF Nolan wants to include the Joker, then maybe. But both of those questions are a long way off.

    by miyamoto_musashi

    I look back at the nominees and winner for best film, earlier this year, the absence of Dark Knight, Wall-e and Revolutionary Road to me were huge omissions. Milk, Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Frost/Nixon, all generally good films but lucky to be in the top 5. (Frost/Nixon - probably number 6 for me and just missing out).
    Kate Winslet and Leo should have been nominated for for their roles in Revolutionary Road, Golden Globes had that right.

So its basically the Matrix in people's minds (apparantly Leo owns a company that has tech that allows a person to enter another person's mind) as opposed to a computer world. It even looks visually like the Matrix, that action scene that is. Really not what I was expecting. But i will still give him the benefit of the doubt, and hope that little bit of footage is very misleading (which it probably is...)

    That's a pretty huge risk for this type of psychological sci-fi. I can't really think of one that's been a big hit, but then again if they sell it as a matrix type flick then maybe it'll find a big audience. But when a film like District 9 which has much more broad appeal for sci-fi isn't making those kinda numbers, I don't know how they expect this too. Don't get me wrong D9's doing very well especially considering it's budget, but it's not gonna be one of the top movies in regards to box office.

    , and even from the same studio. Im kinda worried about this one as there are several problems here imho. 1) While Nolan is a great director imho, he really isnt very good at action set pieces. As great as TDK is, I feel its action was its only weak point. 2)that small scene does look worringly similar to the Matrix, is this on purpose? I love Nolan's work (particulary BB, TDK, and insomnia), but sometimes directors coming off massive success have a tendency to do things they should nt.....Peter Jackson for example (LOTR----KK)...

    No way Joker is in Batman 3. WB will want new villains anyway for toys and merch and Nolan won't want to step on Heath's legacy. Plus, we've done the Joker story now.

    Fuck that, actually. Nolan hasn't made a crappy movie yet, not even a mediocre one. Begins was good despite Holmes, Neeson sleepwalking through it, shaky-cam, and a script penned by Goyer. A lesser director would have failed miserably when faced with such problems. TDK was a massive improvement over Begins. Easily the best movie in the comic book adaptation genre, despite how good X2 was, or how nostalgic I feel about Donner's Superman.
    This teaser looks cool, such a great cast, a huge budget, interesting premise, and Nolan's almost unrestrained imagination promise a movie that's at least good, probably great.

    Insomnia was ok, not a patch on the original Norwegian version though. Memento is about 1000 times better.

    glad both Tom Hardy and Berenger getting love

    by meadowe

    Yeah I'm gonna get slaughtered for saying this, but until "Star Trek 90210" Nemesis was my fave Star Trek film, one of the key reasons was Tom Hardy as Shinzon. And I love The Substitute, so I'm very glad Tom Hardy and Berenger are appearing in a high profile fliq like this. And it was said somewhere else, but you know how they say a leading actor is the idealized version of the director (like depp is to burton, etc) ? I notice with his hair grown out a little bit more and since he put on a little more weight DiCaprio looks a lot like Nolan in this fliq, but then again that could just be me.

    by meadowe

    to The Dark Knight imax preview. How everyone kept calling it "BatHeat" or he ripped off Mann, etc. Now people say he ripped off Matrix. I just hope Watanabe doesn't die too early like BB.

    I thought The Prestige had some creepy, somewhat scary, scenes. Particularly the last 10 seconds. An enormously underrated movie.

    nothing futuristic in the trailer

    by millajovovichsarmpitsmell

    the gravity shit is fantasy, not futuristic. not many scenes but it looked like it could have taken place in the 80s. im hoping thats not the case. great casting and director, but that gravity shit? i dunno. i hope they're not acting like that's the coolness in this movie. it was already in ultraviolet and wasn't even a huge deal in that movie. science fiction can be a great genre, but science fantasy is dumb. and d9 is close to science fantasy.

    Titanic ruined Leo's rep as an actor.

    by blackmantis

    He was considered a prodigy giving great performances in stuff like What's Eating Gilbert Grape and This Boy's Life. Then he did Titanic and got elevated to teen heart throb status, which made every other teen male hate his pretty boy guts. Since then its been an uphill battle, but if he hasn't earned your respect by now in stuff like The Aviator and The Departed, you don't know what good acting is.

    Gravity as weapon?

    by captain_yam

    I once wrote my dream movie and have always had plans to produce it once I finish film school. It was a thriller about aliens using gravity as a weapon against humanity. It ended more large scale than I could ever produce: houses eventually tearing out the ground and flying into the sky, but it started small. People would find themselves flung against the walls in front of them and it would have tried to make the sight of a wall being far in front of you quite scary in case gravity suddenly changed. I was horrified to see this start happening in the trailer, but to be fair it was never going to get done by me. The films probably going to be about something completely different but its nice to see somebody else had the same idea I had. Should be a sight to see.

    Like the trailer no spoilers

    by megatom5

    Interesting that they spent 200 mil on this, not saying it wont be worth it everything Nolan has done is gold maybe the studio actually realizes that. Why's everyone complaining about Nolan's action sequences? In your defense I don't think the hand to hand stuff at the end of TDK was all that great but the scene with the tunnel and the batpod was phenomenal action.

    by bigfatbaby

    Bronson is not based on the movie Chopper or the real life Chopper. It's based on the real life of the man who goes by the alias "Charlie Bronson" who is serving time in jail this very moment.

    its amazing what people can get from a minute teaser

    by gomez33

    It didn't show you anything, it left you wanting to see more but half the fucks on here would rather make shit up. Pricks.

    Its one gravity defying scene has made me want to see this more than the 16 minutes of that shit avatar cartoon I sat through last week. It might be in 3D but its still a fucking cartoon without the laughs. I'd rather watch Up than that shit.

    I haven't seen the original. I'll take your word on it. As for Memento... The first time I saw it I thought it was brilliant. But upon repeat viewings it has become gimmicky and kind of annoying. It's more like an experiment than a flick. Like that backwards Seinfeld episode they did in one of the last seasons when they were obviously getting bored creatively. I've seen Insomnia a few times and found it great every time. It holds up much better than Memento for me.

Ah yes, it was the same time when it became cool to like miserable untalented piece of shit hacks like Michael Bay and Jar Jar Abrams, right? Forgot about that peculiar, retard and deseased geek movement, the movement to love shit movies and the shit filmmakers who make them.

    Koyaanisqatsi

    by asimovlives

    Nolan knows how to make action scenes very well. He knows how to make an action scene much better then the so called experts. there should be more people making action scenes like Nolan. If that happened, i rarely would had the impression that the people who make the action movies presume i'm deeply stupid and retard. It would be great to watch an action scene and not feel like i'm being dumbed down. Thankfully, i have Christopher Nolan to deliver proper action scenes that make me feel smart while watchign them.Nolan knows mor ein his pinkie toe about action then most hacks will ever know in their whole body throughout their whole life. Hacks like Michael Bay and Jar Jar Abrams. Fuck them, long live Nolan.

    Koyaanisqatsi and Nolan Fight Scenes

    by thegrayghost

    Yeah, I have to agree with you about Nolan's inability to stage action or more specifically hand-to-hand combat action well. I loved DK and the car chases were fantastic, but a lot of the hand-to-hand stuff were either choreographed poorly, Bale was unable to execute the moves convincingly, and/or it was just not shot as well as it could've been. Batman just seems too slow (did any parts of the Scarecrow fight scene in DK look sped up to you?), and not agile, skilled, or strong enough to take down so many people with basically one or two shots. Batman is suppose to be the best or 2nd best martial artist in the DC world ... in the movies, I just don't see it at all. In Begins, the sword fighting was good, and all the physical fights were not bad because they were either hidden or they just had Bale brawling, which I was fine with. But in DK, I was hoping for a much more skilled and vicious Batman. Maybe the KFM fighting method just isn't that visually interesting. I'm not asking for Bruce Lee or Ong Bak (though showing an acrobatic Batman would be pretty cool too), but just something more believable and badassed.

    Again, I just talking specifically the hand to hand stuff. Nolan does great action with everything else action-wise. Not too over the top and suspenseful build-up.

    by thegrayghost

    I think he's in the very least a really good and talented actor. I thought he was great in Catch Me If You Can, Aviator, The Departed, and Gangs of New York. I think he will be one of those actors that will only get better with age. I don't think I've ever seen him in a bad movie. He seems to make really good choices.
