Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, Inception – starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine hits theaters this Summer, but we don’t really know too much about it as of yet. The trailer, posters and website are very vague and secretive
However, in a recent interview, actor – Leonardo DiCaprio was asked about Inception and had this to say,
“I can tell you it’s about two hours long, give or take,” DiCaprio smiles. “Anything more than that, and Chris has vowed to have me strung up by my tongue…”
Ok, that was still vague… but in the On-Set Preview section of February’s Empire Magazine, it informs readers that writer/director Christopher Nolan came up with the concept for the film when he was only 16 years old, and Playlist has posted a quote from the magazine from the director, confirming Inception’s plot.
“Basically the film deals with levels of reality, and perceptions of reality which is something I’m very interested in. Its an action film set in a contemporary world, but with a slight science-fiction bent to it. Cobb [Leonardo DiCaprio’s character], who is the center of things and expert in a particular technology that the film revolves around, has put this team around him [Ellen Page, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon Levitt]. It’s very much an ensemble film structured somewhat as a heist movie. It’s an action adventure that spans the globe.”
