“Inception” trailer

The much-anticipated follow-up to The Dark Knight, here is the first teaser, just released today, for Christopher Nolan’s Inception:

Reminiscent of The Matrix? Nobody really knows — except cast and crew. And they’ve been told to shut up by Nolan himself. Here’s an interview a few months back with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

“Here’s the thing,” Gordon-Levitt told MTV. “I cant wait to talk to you about [“Inception”] but I’ve been very specifically asked not to talk about it. I want to respect [director Chris Nolan’s wishes] because I love his movies and I’m so honored and grateful to be working with him.” Very mysterious, eh? But wait! There’s more!

There’s apparently a very specific reason for Nolan’s insistence on maintaining the silence for now. “He’s got a really specific idea and way he wants people to be presented with this thing,” Gordon-Levitt said of the director’s plans. You readers may or may not remember, but Nolan first established himself on the Hollywood radar with his smart memory loss thriller “Memento,” a film which is all the more effective when the mystery is upheld going into it.

Variety has previously reported that “Inception” is “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind,” so it sounds as though we may be in store for a similar sort of head-scratcher.

“Within the architecture of the mind.”
