Subconscious Security is Serious Business

The first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film Inception merely told us it was a sci-fi mystery set within the architecture of the mind (see it here). It was painfully vague yet so very tantalizing. The newest trailer dropped this past weekend and gives a better look into the life of Dom Cobb, a corporate spy who nicks secrets from deep within the subconscious of his victims. The thief has lost things dear to him but has a chance at redemption with one last, almost impossible job.

Inception is written and directed by Christopher Nolan and has a first-rate cast including Leonardo Dicaprio, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Ellen Page. The accompanying poster looks good as well, with a M.C. Escher look about it.

Inception is due out in the U.S. on July 16th, and will air in South Africa at the end of July. It will not be in 3D. It’s certainly the movie I’m most looking forward to this year. What’s yours?

UPDATE (May 26th): Here’s a preview of the international trailer that was aired on a Japanese television station during an interview with Ken Watanabe. The new footage starts at the 39-second mark.

I’m sure it’ll be worth a watch at the cinema. You’re lucky, you actually have IMAX in Durban. Ours closed down because no one bought tickets at R85. Those money-hungry fools failed dismally.

Anyways, I think there’s a healthy amount of hype about Inception considering his recent efforts with Batman. I absolutely loved Memento and The Dark Knight (sequel inbound in 2012) so it’s a given that I’ll watch Inception too.
