4 New Images For Christopher Nolan’s Inception – My (Joint) Most Anticipated Film Of 2010

Along with Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life, Inception is my most anticipated movie of year by a stretch! Warner Bros have released 4 new images in a Los Angeles Times interview with Christopher Nolan, you can check out the interview here, it’s a great piece. I love how gradually more and more tiny pieces of information are coming out about the film. Christopher Nolan’s succession of great films doesn’t looks like it’s going to stop – Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight. You can check out the Official Trailer for Inception here.

“I originally wrote it as a heist movie, and heist movies traditionally are very deliberately superficial in emotional terms,” Nolan said. “They’re frivolous and glamorous, and there’s a sort of gloss and fun to it. I originally tried to write it that way, but when I came back to it I realized that — to me — that didn’t work for a film that relies so heavily on the idea of the interior state, the idea of dream and memory. I realized I needed to raise the emotional stakes. What we found in working on ‘Batman’ is that it’s the emotionalism that best connects the audience with the material. The character issues, those are the things that pull the audience through it and amplify the experience no matter how strange things get.”

“Several vivid sequences show a dream metropolis in churning calamity, a city skyline seems to fold in on itself as a dream begins to lose its shape and, unlike many Hollywood versions of dream surrealism, the scene has the look of a massive mechanical failure, not a morphing, liquid calamity.”
