Me: So, what is this?
Mind: It's the new movie from Christopher Nolan.
Me: Really? Sweet! What's it about?
Mind: No one knows.
Me: Ok. Who's in it?
Mind: Leonardo DiCaprio. Joseph Gordon-Levitt...
Me: STOP! I'm sold!
Nolan seems to have tapped into my own, personal fantasy (by way of dream invasion, no less), because he has assembled a cast to die for. Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Michael Caine, Tom Berenger, AGHHHHHH!! Never before have I seen a cast filled with so much promise! DiCaprio looks like he will turn in an Oscar ready performance yet again, Page is doing an adult movie for a change, Cotillard is branching out, bringing her amazingness into blockbuster territory, Murphy and Watanabe both impressed the last time they worked with Nolan in Batman Begins, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks absolutely badass in what appears to be a villainous role! Throw in some gob-smaking visuals, a script written by Nolan, and more mystery than surrounded Cloverfield, and Inception looks to be a serious contender for one of the year's best films. God, I can't wait! There will be more coverage on this as we get closer to July 16. Keep in touch.
I will lose faith in humanity if isn't good.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sold on this. Nolan's work outside of Batman might be, in some ways, better.

ReplyDeleteNot hard to pick the odd man out in that list, is it?
