Not even 24 hours after netting an eye sore of a new poster (right) for Chris Nolan’s INCEPTION, the good folks at Warner are reiterating the TGIF mantra by giving us a splendid new trailer for the dream-lifting head-f*ck. The hell else ya need, a written invitation!
Not only is this the longest look we’ve had at the film to date, it’s at once the most informative and confounding snippet we’ve been lucky enough to clock. Seriously, once the music swelled up in the second part of the trailer, I got chills. I am sitting next to a cafe refrigerator however!
In theaters July 16th, Dom Cobb (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.
Marion Cotillard (below), Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger, Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine also star.
Enjoy!
