a contemporary science fiction action movie “set within the architecture of the mind.

A CEO-type becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal.

That is about all that is known for certain.

The plot/details have been kept under lock and key so far.

I hope it plays when I see Inglorious Basterds. Nolan hasn't made a misstep since, well, ever!

Report From Set of Inception: Leonardo DiCaprio and the Bridge of Mirrors

We know next to nothing about the story behind Inception, the new film from Christopher Nolan which is filming around the world. Now that People has reported with a description of a scene from a location in Paris, we still know next to nothing. That hasn’t stopped a little bit of speculating from taking place, however, and Movieline has a crazy thought that, while almost definitely totally wrong, would put Inception squarely in Charlie Kaufman territory. But since we’re all speculating anyway, let’s indulge this notion.

First, there’s People’s description of the scene, which took place on the Pont de Bir-Hakeim, a bridge that crosses the Seine. Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page we working in the scene, and Marion Cotillard was on hand, too. The article describes the action:

Monday’s scene on the closed set utilized two giant mirrors, each the size of a storefront and slowly rotating and reflecting each other. The leading man – dressed in a grey-green Armani jacket, black trousers and looking very tanned and blond – stood between them, creating a funhouse-mirror effect of a thousand reflections before the mirrors pulled away to reveal him walking the bridge with Ellen Page amid a sea of extras.

DiCaprio and Page argue, and she violently shoves him, knocking him to the ground. Other shots focused on the many extras, “standing as still as statues, as though they were frozen in time.” The article reports that DiCaprio and Page worked in the morning and that Cotillard arrived on set just before the other two actors wrapped, but does not describe her scene.

Then there’s Movieline’s take on the scene, which is wild enough to be intriguing, if as unsubstantiated as those rumors of Brad Pitt appearing in Sherlock Holmes. Essentially, the site speculates that DiCaprio might be playing some analog of Christopher Nolan. The conclusion is drawn primarily from the People photo of the star on set, and the connection between his appearance and Nolan’s general style. And since the film is set within “the architecture of the mind” it’s an idea that sounds good, at least, though it’s totally at odds with what few details we’ve heard. (And can’t print, sadly.)

Finally, JustJared has a bunch of photos from the set, so head there to check ‘em out. We might know a tiny bit more soon, as the Inception teaser trailer will debut this Friday. Until then, discuss!

Woot! Didn't even know Ellen Page was in it. I wanted to see this already but it just shot way up in my charts of anticipated movies. That set report only makes this mystery of a movie more curious.

Hey,

INCEPTION CHARACTER NAMES REVEALED.

As you probably know, the movie trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception is due in theaters this Friday attached to some prints of Inglourious Basterds. Until that trailer screens, we really haven’t been told much about Nolan’s sci-fi action film which has been described as “set within the architecture of the mind.”

The production has been shooting in Paris all week (see a set photo above thanks to ComingSoon), and a site called CloneWeb (found via NolanFans) has apparently gotten their hands on the call sheet. What does the call sheet tell us? Well… not much. But we do finally learn some of the names of the characters in the film.

Here are the character names:


Ellen Page is Ariadne, Joseph Gordon Levitt is Arthur, Tom Hardy is Eames, Ken Watanabe is Saito, Dileep Rao is Yusef, Cillian Murphy is Fischer, Tom Berenger is Browning. Leonardo DiCaprio’s name is missing from the list, but everyone assumes he might be named COBB, since this name appears above Page’s on the sheet, but without any actor listed. It is possible that CODD is just a code name for DiCaprio which may not even be used in the movie at all. Either that or COBB s a computer generated character.

Want to know what the film might be about? Here is what we knew already: Leonardo DiCaprio plays the lead, a CEO-type, Marion Cotillard (La Vie en rose, Public Enemies) is his wife, Ellen Page (Juno) is a young college grad student and DiCaprio’s sidekick, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an associate working for DiCaprio. Ken Watanabe will play the film’s villain, a man who is blackmailing Leonardo DiCaprio’s character. Tom Hardy (Bronson) is a member of DiCaprio’s team. Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Sunshine) and Michael Caine are also signed on, but no details are known about their characters.

Inception is scheduled to hit theaters on July 16th 2010.

ENJOY.

Teaser Trailer Description and Possible Plot Details.

The teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception, which is attached to Inglourious Basterds, might not be online until next week. If true, this means you’ll have to see it on the big screen if you want to see it before next week. So I thought now would be a good time to tell you about the 58-second trailer. Want to know what Inception is really about? We might have the answer.

A scooper on IMDB called WiiMovies has seen the teaser, which is almost a minute in length. Full description after the jump.

Now, I wont give much away because it was a pretty good teaser trailer. It got you wanting more. Their is actual footage of the movie, with Leo and others. Their is One fight scene in what looks to be in a hotel hallway, but not just any fight scene. They were fighting all over the hallway, on side walls, ceilings everywhere. I thought Matrix (Don’t panic it’s not the matrix but thats what I came up with) Its gonna be a trippy movie. The end music kind of reminded me of Terminator, not the theme music but u will know what I’m talking about. Its only like a minute long and you will want to watch again to see what you just saw. All in all, it was really good.



More Details: It starts with the Warner Bros Logo in grey. Then you see Chris Nolan name. This dradle like thing is spinning around. Director of The Dark Knight words. You see Leo’s face. Over shot of a city, shaking camera shot. Words come on screen “YOUR MIND”. Shot of Leo. More words “IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME” Then you see a glass of water, with the water in the glass startes to tilt. People fighting in hallway. Gordon-Levitt is one of the guys that’s fighting in the Hallway, on the ceiling and walls. You see a quick shot of his face. The word “INCEPTION” comes up. Then SUMMER 2010.

Sounds pretty cool, but what is Inception about? A possible plot description has been floating around the interwebs for a couple months now, mostly under the radar. It first appeared on the IMDb boards (but I can no longer find the original source), but I have been able to find a Rotten Tomatoes forum posting from June 25th 2009 which reposts the plot line:

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.

The trailer description leads me to believe that there might be some truth to this storyline. Thanks to /Film reader Ben M for the tip. What do you think?

Hmmm... sounds like a remake of

[Show spoiler] Dreamscape or Scanners

[dahoover]

This is easily my most anticipated movie right now, even more than Avatar and Batman 3.

I can't wait to see the teaser and hopefully find out what the plot of this movie is!

[Mike53421]

Where are the militant Batman fans from years past who bootlegged his trailers and got them onto YouTube in a timely manner? Are they in line for the Avatar screenings tonight or something...
