No, why, what you trying to get at?

Yea he could definitely pull of the role. Maybe Nolan cast him in this as a test run to see if he thinks he would be able to do it. With so much time between The Dark Knight and the 3rd film maybe he will be able to recast. If someone can do justice to the role I dont mind it being recast.

Absolutely. I think he'd do a phenomenal job. I don't think him being cast in Inception is just a "coincidence" either.

Meh, the other poster was better

It's also rated PG-13 for Violence and Action thoughout

Wow....that is incredibly lame looking. I agree with Foggy, the other one

[Show spoiler]

is infinitely better.

Figured as much.

[Lord_Stewie]

I actually like the background of the new poster. Makes it resemble a puzzle in a sense.

I wonder what will happen if everyone walks away from this movie scratching their heads wondering...."WTF did I just watch?"

Just like The Dark Knight, no blood... no R.

65mm = Imax

They used regular 65mm, no IMAX, I believe.

For IMAX the film stock is utilized differently.

Correct.

The second trailer for The Dark Knight debuted with Iron Man, or technically... at viral-events on the Monday before.

Inception teaser: August 2009
Inception trailer 1: December 2009
Inception trailer 2: May 2010
Inception release date: July 2010

The Dark Knight teaser: July 2007
The Dark Knight trailer 1: December 2007
The Dark Knight trailer 2: May 2008
The Dark Knight release date: July 2008

Soo... Batman 3 in July 2012, we're almost fourteen-months away from the first teaser!

While I thought the first one looked good, I still don't mind the new poster either. It shows the rest of the cast and you can actually read Inception clearly on the new one. Either way, it's just a poster.

One thing I noticed though... Why is the one guy looking off to the side while the rest are looking forward?

Official plot synopsis from Warner Brothers:

[Show spoiler]

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. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

Sounds awesome IMHO.

[Show spoiler]I love the idea that all of the main characters are criminals. It adds an element of unpredictability to it. They are all seedy characters so theoretically they all deserve to get in trouble with the law or get killed by someone else. It reminds me of a film noir.

I also love the globe-trotting aspect. Sounds like Bourne/Bond except we have these acid trip dream hallucinations going on.

You added spoiler tags to the synopsis yet you went right ahead and told us about it without spoiler tags. :|

Why put it in spoilers and then leave out the fact that they're

[Show spoiler]criminals,

like I know it's not a huge deal but some people on here are really avioding stuff, so just put it in a spoiler tag

[Blu-Malibu2009]
