Even though we've already had posters, images and a trailer for Inception, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan is still keping a tight lid on what the film is all about, only saying it takes place 'inside the architecture of the mind'.
While some other things have been pieced together from various sources, so that we know, for example, that it involves people going into other's brains in order to find, hide or remove information, there's been very little official info released about the film.
However now Nolan has been speaking to the LA Times, telling them, it's "the biggest challence I've taken on to this point". While he's still not ready to stop being enigmatic, he does let us know a little more about the film, saying, "I grew up watching James Bond films and loving those and watching spy movies with their globetrotting sensibility.... We get to do that here, not just geographically but also in time and dimensions of reality as well. We get to make a movie that’s expansive, I suppose you’d say, in four dimensions."
Apparently the movie is part international thriller, part story of madness and lost love and part metaphysical heist movie.
Talking about the scope of the film, Nolan adds, "Coming off of the T he Dark Knight, the only thing we really knew is that we wanted to do something more personal. It seemed like the right time to do this. The fact that it’s really just an enormous movie -- that wasn’t ever really a factor in the decision. This story lends itself to a movie of this size."
Hmm, it's all very intriguing, but it would just be nice if he could just officially say what the bloody film is about. Inception, starring Leo Dicpario, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page and Ken Watanabe will be in cinemas on July 16th.
