The film has a $200m budget, apparently. So much for a small project before he makes Batman 3 then.

/Film said:

When the project was first announced, most people assumed that Inception would be a smaller film that Christopher Nolan would film before returning to make a third Batman film. But with a budget of over $200 million (or possibly $178 Million if the initial number is Canadian dollars) , the film isn’t looking so small after all.


This according to The Calgary Sun, who also claims that the psychological thriller will be filming in five different countries, including a “significan portion” in Kananaskis, Alberta (a rural district situated to the west of Calgary in the footholls of the Canadian Rockies). Apparently Nolan visited Canada twice scouting locations, looking at nearby foothills and mountainous areas by helicopter before choosing Fortress Mountain as the main Alberta location. The newspaper insists that the location shooting will be significant, employing hundreds, if not thousands, of local film workers beginning this Summer when construction on an “elaborate set” is scheduled to begin.

The plot is being kept under lock and key. MTV recently asked Joseph Gordon-Levitt to talk about the movie, and the star reluctantly responded:

Here’s the thing… I cant wait to talk to you about [Inception] but I’ve been very specifically asked not to talk about it. I want to respect [director Chris Nolan's wishes] because I love his movies and I’m so honored and grateful to be working with him. He’s got a really specific idea and way he wants people to be presented with this thing.

All we know about the story so far is that the movie is a contemporary science fiction action movie “set within the architecture of the mind.” 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 will begin production this summer, and is scheduled to hit theaters on July 16th 2010.

For some reason I missed that Tom Hardy had been cast as well. Nolan has really assembled an impressive sounding cast.

Tom Hardy is very good. Excellent! I'm well excited now. Also, his remake of Insomnia was great. Naysayers be damned.

[lordcookie]

It was a decent film but not a patch on the original so could still be deemed as a bit of a failure.

[Goose]

$200M? Blimey! WB really, really, really want him for the third Batman film :)

[Popo]

Ken Watanabe? My boyfriend hates him, should be good. ;)

I'm looking forward to this!

[Vin]

Watanabe's a complete dude. There's no way a single being on this planet could hate the guy.

[Popo]

He hates him because he's the biggest Japanese actor in Hollywood but always plays kung fu guys or samurai.

Press release

Tom Berenger is in this movie, folks.

Prove that he's still alive.

Such a disappointing film, wish I had watched the Norwegian original instead (and I was pretty excited for it after the phenomenal Memento), just proves the usual rule about American remakes of non-American films even applies when you have a great director doing it. :(

If Inception is as good as The Prestige... -_-

Teaser Due Soon -

Quote

On August 21st the first teaser trailer for INCEPTION will debut in theaters despite only about a month of filming having been completed. The teaser will debut in front of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, just another reason to see Tarantino's latest. I'm still trying to lock down an exact runtime (is it a :20 logo teaser or something more substantial?) but we know we're getting something. Considering how mysterious the production has been thus far, I'm excited to see if Nolan and his crew have something equally as perplexing planned for the marketing campaign...

A few months ago i watched his first film following, quite good. Looking foward to see his take on sci-fi.

[lordcookie]

Considering the lockdown on info for this film I doubt we will see much in the teaser at all.

I assume so though I've not heard anything since the original story.

Teaser trailer description:

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.

And what the film is about:

Quote

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.

[Rayn]

That doesn't sound like anything I imagined it to be, regarding the fight scene description.
