Why is it that I never tire of writing about Chris Nolan’s cerebral new blockbuster INCEPTION? Is it the cryptic premise about dream infiltration? Is it the director’s awe-inspiring track-record (MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE, THE DARK KNIGHT)? Is it the fact the flick has the best ensemble any flick this summer has to offer? Or is it simply the mere presence of one Marion Cotillard?
While I try and suss those queries, I highly suggest copping a dose of 4 new character banners for the flick we have below, which just premiered over at Virgin Media. As far as new imagery goes, the banners don’t offer a whole lot that is new, but one thing is made abundantly clear: THE DREAM IS REAL!!!
Contorting theaters everywhere July 16th, INCEPTION centers on Dom Cobb (Leo), 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.
See what I mean about my girl Marion?!?
