The story seems to be about lucid dreaming and getting inside other people's dreams. I'm interested in lucid dreaming and have a story idea that inolves it. So I'll be interested to see how they tackle it. With this and Shutter Island coming out this year it looks 2010 is going to be a big one for Leo.
Just on the trailer topic, I totally agree with Dressel here. They give away far too much nowadays, in my opinion. "Brothers" being a case in point, that friggin' thing told you at least the first hour of the film in a jump cut riddled 2 minutes and thirty something seconds (presumably).
Some recent examples of inticing, yet unrevealing, trailers were "Cloverfield" & "Wall-E" that's the way they should be done...again, just my opinion. What happened to a bit of mystery & wonder.
I'll love the film but financially, this will disappoint the studio quite a bit. Production budget of $200 million for a mind-f*** of a movie? No way. This will flop. But it'll be awesome.

I read in Entertainment Weekly an interview with Nolan where he said that the film isn't confusing and it's easy to follow (unlike his previous films).
There's not a doubt in my mind this film won't be huge.
Also, in the article they said that when actors were being offered roles they could only view the script if they a.) read it in Nolan's office or b.) had the script hand delivered to them while a security guard stood guard. My guess is that we're in for Nolan's masterpiece, which is saying something because he's already done such great work. (Annnnnnd cue the Nolan/Dark Knight hate.)
Yeah, he did the same thing with the screenplay for 'Batman Begins' (A, only actually) and 'The Dark Knight'. I think 'The Dark Knight' is a near-masterpiece. Great film. And it's exciting to hear that he's cracked a story that he finds compelling enough to garner a third film to his Batman movies. But 'Inception' could potentially place some mistrust in Nolan from Warner Bros., so this will probably be his last big-budget passion project outside of any Batman or Superman franchise, which sucks cause I think he's a brilliant director and I'll probably adore 'Inception'. As for Nolan saying it's easy to follow, I mean, I hope a mainstream audience embraces the film but we'll see... Love the cast. Huge fan of Cillian Murphy and Joseph-Gordon Levitt. Here's hoping for the best. It's my most anticipated film this year along with Edgar Wright's 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World'.
If, right now, I'm given the choice to bang Megan Fox or to watch this movie, I'd tell Meggy to turn off the lights on her way out so I can start watching right away.
Great concept, great cast, great writer, great director. I can't wait to see this.
