Summer 2010

The teaser trailer (if you're lucky) debuted in front of Inglourious Basterds and will apparently be online come Monday; until then, feel free to bore yourself to tears with the spinning thing on the webpage...

i saw teaser pics of Marion Cotillard getting ready to stab Ellen page with this BIG ASS KNIFE...

i was like DAMN, JUNO bout to get gutted like a fish by Edith Piaf! WHUT?!?!?!?!?!

ill have to see the trailer monday cause im up in the air about Inglorious Basterds...

I could have done without the drums and the quick little fight looked cool but also looked very Matrixy. It didn't do anything to get me more excited for the film but I'm very intrigued about what "the crime is in your mind" (or whatever the tag was) means.

Also, I thought the biggest drawing point was the cast. I'm surprised they didn't hype that.

i always been a nolan fan, consider him one of the best to do it this decade. i've been following this movie since it was 1st announce, and you gotta give the nolan camp credit they KNOW how to keep things tight lipped and only reveal things that they WANT you to see.

from whut i have gathered so far, i presume this is somewhut like minority report meet akira. presumely someone, maybe leo, gets blackmailed into a crime he didn't commit, and it has something to do with either entering somebody's dreams or something to that effect.

from whut it appears, it's a PURE nolan type movie and i'm happy to see that there's hardly if any CG that's going to be in this futuristic film

but i'm curious to see what the final trailer looks like though...

and i'm liking that Tom Hardy is FINALLY getting his shine on...probably one of the *BEST* things about Guy Ritchie's Rocknrolla (he was Handsome Bob) last year...

seems interesting
i'll see it

I know it aint gonna be as popular as Avatar but that's still sold out thru the wknd at the only true IMAX theater here.

i'm really excited for this. i'm hoping for a script as good as the prestige, but with the dark knight's budget.

does anyone have any idea what this movie is about?

cuz I just watched the trailer and it was a minute of nothing that made any sense whatsoever.

also, it says sci fi actioner. i'ma remember that yall said these don't need to have stories.

http://card.mygamercard.net/lastgame/rjcc.png

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

The trailer added nothing to that. Jus sayin

And yes, I know, "if you gotta break down a trailer just to try to figure out what a movie's about, blah blah blah"


Let's start with the voice-over (btw, is it me or does Leo bear a resemblance to Christopher Nolan in these clips?):

We see Leo playing with the spinning thingy

"What's the most resilient parasite? An idea."

*studio logos*

"A single idea from the human mind..."

Leo and Ellen Page watch a street fold (in what is the longest shot in the trailer, btw)

"... can build cities..."

We see buckshot's Jurassic Park tribute shot of the rippling water in the glass

"An idea can transform the world..."

Someone looks out a window and sees people running, plus there's a fire

"... and rewrite all the rules."

Someone in what looks to be some sort of camp stands up, then a shot of Leo looking out into the city

"Which is why... I have to steal it."

(^^^ The key phrase of the trailer)

Leo walks through a kitchen, putting a silencer on a gun.

We see a shot of a locomotive rolling down the middle of a street, crashing into cars along the way, as Leo tells Ellen Page, "Never recreate from your memory, always imagine from new places"

Then we see a shot of a smiling Leo talking to Ellen Page, and as they sit outside a cafe (the name of which is Cafe Debussy, btw), there's an explosion

Then we see a shot of Leo looking out of a window, followed by a shot of someone (looks like William Fichtner) on a roof being led away, as Leo tells Cillian Murphy, "He's hiding something, and we need to find out what that is"

Then we see a shot of Joe Gordon-Levitt looking out the driver's seat of a taxi, then someone (maybe JGL?) about to take a shot from the back of a taxi, then the taxi spinning out...

Then the words YOUR MIND

Then the rippling water

Then a shot of Ken Watanabe rising from a bed with a gun as someone (JGL?) says, "We gotta break outta here"

Then someone rides away on a motorcycle in the rain as JGL continues with, "Give him the kick!"

Then someone (Lukas Haas?) hits Leo, and we see him floating backwards

Then the words IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

Then a masked man enters a room and approaches Cillian Murphy

Leo shouts "(inaudible) is not a part of the plan" as JGL approaches

Then a shot of someone being thrown into a wall

Then we see Leo floating again, into a tub of water

Then two guys fight

Then Leo falls further into the tub as Ellen Page (?) yells, "Wake me up!"

Then we see Leo and what appears to be JGL with guns drawn, looking around a room, and we hear "Wake me up!" again

Then a shot of someone (possibly Leo) standing in between two staircases as mists of water shoot off

Then we get the Inception logo, with the word in the middle of a maze


To me, the two key phrases of the trailer are Leo prattling on about ideas and ending with "Which is why I have to steal it," and the phrase YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME

So, one can reasonably deduce (without having to look it up) that the movie might have something to do with idea theft (since that's what Leo says he has to do, right)... something may or may not go wrong, which is why we get Ellen screaming "Wake me up!" and most importantly, the phrase about your mind being the scene of the crime... there's lots of guns, a little bit of fighting, and some dream imagery... I mean, a street folding onto itself? A locomotive driving down the middle of a street? A calm Leo and Ellen as there's an explosion? Leo slowly falling backward into a tub of water? I mean, these may or may not all be "dreams" but they're certainly shot and cut to appear as if they are...

I'm guessing that Leo and JGL are "mind cops" or "mind thieves" who have been assigned a particular case... maybe Ellen Page is the person whom they're investigating, or is the mark... and someone's after her for her idea (or whoever's idea it is)...

Based on what I've seen here, that's all I know... and truthfully, that's all I need to know at this point...

This trailer just makes me that much more intrigued about the movie, which is what it's supposed to do, not tell you exactly what it's about... and the fact that it's Christopher Nolan has me doubly intrigued...

(emo moment coming up)

And btw, saying that the trailer intrigues me without having every detail spelled out doesn't make me some sort of condescending, unthinking tool, or whatever else, it just means that as a fan of someone who has proven that he can tell effective and imaginative stories, it makes me want to show up to see what he does next, with this particular story... simple.

I still was curious as to what the hell I was watching. Thats all I was asking, not shitting on the flick cause the trailer didnt give me beginning middle and end.

"if you gotta break down a trailer just to try to figure out what a movie's about, blah blah blah"

seems like a lot of preemptive plea copping before you talk about what you like or don't like. weird that you can't just say that.

so you're intrigued because you've liked the director's previous flicks, and not being clear on what's happening is ok for you. cool. that is an explanation, and I bet it didn't hurt to give it. the only one who's feeling guilty about it is you.

You can continue on blathering about guilt and "preemptive plea copping," and "that's all you had to say," etc, but you know and I know that someone here would say that silly shit, this is OKP, don't play dumb...

That was a great shot & I'm exicited to see it fleshed out on the big screen. Wally Pfister continues to wow me with or w/o the CGI. Do you know if they shot the whole movie with IMAX cams this time, or just certain scenes like they did with TDK?

>Someone in what looks to be some sort of camp stands up, then
>a shot of Leo looking out into the city

Looks like everyone else in that camp is sleep & might be hooked up to some machine or wires as well. I'm guessing that's how/where the ideas are stolen.

Not sure, I'm guessing he's shooting certain scenes in IMAX again, might be more cost effective that way...

weird that you had to link that spoilerific post instead of a simple explanation.


for everyone who isn't a douche: dicaprio enters peoples dreams to either steal their ideas or cause them to have the ones he wants them to. his real life gets mixed up in someone elses dream and causes him problems.

as near as anyone can tell, all the action occurs in these dream worlds so -- lots of wire fu.

You know I have a pet peeve about misleading trailers ESPECIALLY when it comes to thrillers which this appears to be (w/a sci-fi bent) It seems like HWood always wants to make a thriller something else.

Either an action or horror flick. I can't stand that.

I myself just found the info this morning (and promptly skimmed over it), lol... I want to go in as cold as I can...

Can't figure out why you're baffled by people wanting to know what the movie's about.

I've already explained all that I'm going to explain about it, and provided links to information that's easily available. What you do with that is on you. Please stop worrying about me. Thank you.

I will say tho, that if the movie is as entertaining as the post it spawned - I'll be VERY pleased.

lol

Not that that's a terrible thing but it's impossible to come up with much of a feeling about this when I have no clue what the film is about. A lot of stuff reminds me of Dark City but the whole "Wake me up!" had me thinking about The Cell.

Part of me wishes that this was all a hoax, a kind of experiment to see just how crazy the internet could go over something like this.

The bottom line is that a lot of the reaction to this comes from Christopher Nolan's attachment IMO. Put the name of another director on this very same trailer and people's opinions might take a 180.

I mean i like what he's done with the batman franchise for the most part, but there's that whole "the last 30 minutes of the dark knight" thing to remember.

and now this movie...whatever it is.

shit looks like TDK without Batman characters, they even had scenes that clearly represent the same scenes in TDK. If you don't know what I mean, it's obviously there. Either way, I am intrigue about it.
