More Inception Fun – Secrets Revealed
You know that music you’ve come to know and love. BAHHMM. BAAAHM. BAAAAAAHM. It’s the sound of action happening in Inception. Pulsating bass through the seats. Someone that obviously just got over their bout of nerdgasm put together a video that shows that the main musical cue in Hans Zimmer’s score is actually a slowed-down version of Edith Piaf’s “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.” What is Edith Piaf’s score? It’s the music they play on the headphones to wake the main characters up within the movie.
What does this mean? My brain just melted. But maybe it further layers the “dream within a dream.” As time slows down — so would the music. Right?
BAHHM. BAAAHMM BAHHMM phrrrt.
Oh yeah, have you ever heard of or seen the movie La Vie en Rose? You may have noticed Marion Cotillard won the Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of…wait for it…EDITH PIAF.
The below was confirmed by the man himself, Hans Zimmer.
Inception Featurette
As we enter the final weeks before the release of Inception, a few more details about the film have been released. They have done a superb job of teasing audiences with this film. It looks intriguing. It has an amazing cast and director, but what the hell is it? The featurette here gives you a few glimpses into what’s in store for us. If you want to go into this with a clean slate, don’t watch it. There are no spoilers, but it definitely gives you a better idea of the basic storyline. I have high expectations on this one. Not only does it have the potential to be the best movie of the summer…it could be one of the best in 2010.
New and Final Inception Trailer
Inception is EASILY my most anticipated film of the summer. Check that, this has been my most anticipated film of the year. I’ve been talking about it since I started this blog and have been intrigued from the start. I don’t have a clear view of what it’s all about, but it seems to be the love child of Dark City and Dreamscape.
The Director
Christopher Nolan simply has not made a bad movie. Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight — all truly amazing films. Nolan is able to bring intellect into the mainstream, which is a fine tightrope to walk on.
The Cast
Mr. DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Goron-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Lukas Haas, Michael Caine — this cast is unbelievable. Not only does it tout the future of Hollywood’s Power Actors (Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page) it also has some of the best actors in the game (Leo DiCaprio and Michael Caine). This cast should prove to you that this film is at least worth a shot.
The Music Score
Get ready to be pounded in the skull by Hans Zimmer once again. Just like he did with Dark Knight, the score is pulsating, nerve wracking, and perfect.
The Story
Who knows?! And that’s what’s so great about it. This is a summer blockbuster film opening in July. Watching the trailers, reading the synopsis, it doesn’t matter…this film looks bat-shit crazy. Dreams…subconscious….stealing….whatever. This is going to be amazing and the less I know (a rare feat with films) the better off I am.
Watch the trailer and see if you agree with me.
By the way, the last line took me 10 times to break through that accent. When they are shooting the gun, Tom Hardy says “We mustin be afraid to dream a little bigger darling.” Fantastic.
New “Inception” Trailer
The lastest trailer from Christopher “I Directed The Dark Knight” Nolan’s Inception has been released. More characters are shown, a vague snippet of plot is revealed, but we are still completely confused and intrigued by our most anticipated film of 2010. It appears there is a team of people doing something with dreams, thoughts…something. There’s lots of destruction. Trains driving in the middle of the street. I have no idea what’s going on…but considering Nolan’s track record (Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight), I’m sold.
“What’s the most resilient parasite? An idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and re-write all the rules; which is why I have to steal it.”
Yeah. Your guess is as good as mine. The music score is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat as you can see from this trailer. And the cast is beyond stellar: Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Lucas Haas, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, and Ken Watanabe.
First Poster for Christopher Nolan’s “Inception”
The first poster for next summer’s Inception has been released and it looks oddly familiar. Let’s see, Christopher Nolan directed The Dark Knight…AHA! Hot off the presses, here is the Inception poster alongside The Dark Knight poster. Things that make you go hmmmm…
Although this initial poster is pretty uninspiring and repetitive, this film is the must see for Summer 2010. Boasting a cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, and Michael Caine, the odds of a misfire are fairly low. Let’s also add the fact that Nolan has NEVER made a bad film (including his first project Following). A new trailer for the film is rumored to be attached to Sherlock Holmes on Christmas Day. Stay tuned.
Inception Teaser Trailer
So there I was in the movie theater, munching on popcorn and playing Brickbreaker on the Blackberry. In only a few short minutes, I’d finally see Quentin Tarantino’s latest film…something I’ve obsessed about since reading the script last summer. It was Avatar Day and Inglorious Basterds opening day, but I suddenly realized (again) that it was also the trailer release of the secret little film called Inception. When the Warner Bros. logo appeared, I squealed and clapped like a little girl catching a live glimpse of the Jonas Brothers. It was here…
The trailer has about 15 seconds of actual film footage, but it’s a teaser that will make you curse the release date (Summer 2010). For those who saw The Dark Knight in IMAX, you are probably still haunted by the Hans Zimmer pounding, screeching score throughout the film. It kept you on the edge of your seats as it boomed throughout. Zimmer has teamed up with Christopher Nolan (TDK) again, so please turn up the volume when watching this teaser. I feel that the full effect of this teaser will not be felt through your computer screen, but at least you’ll get an idea of how wacked out cool this film might be.
Inception boasts an impressive cast alongside a superstar director. Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, Tom Berenger, Lukas Haas, and Ken Watanabe.
My initial reaction to the trailer went straight to thoughts of The Matrix. But it’s a psychological thriller, NOT a CGI heavy tentpole event. Enjoy and expect to hear lot’s o’ news on this one as it’s one of our 2010 Obsessions.
T-Minus 1 day until Basterds/Inception/Avatar Day
The Film Savior office is chaotic right now.
Not ONE, not TWO, but THREE of our obsessions have special significance this weekend.
You heard about Avatar here first.
You’ve heard rumblings about the hush hush film Inception coming in 2010 here first (HERE) and (HERE).
And Inglorious Basterds has been on our Obsessions list from day one.
Tomorrow, all will unite all three. Inglorious Basterds screening with Inception trailer attached. Afterwards…Avatar Day screening!
Prepare to be blown away: Inception Set Pics
OK, as great as Inception could potentially be, we still have no clue what it is about. All we know is that it revolves around a “CEO-type becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal” and that it’s set in “the architecture of the mind.” Things that make you go, Hmmmm. Justjared found some exclusive set pictures yesterday, and they will blow your mind. A picture of Leonardo DiCaprio standing on a bridge! Ellen Page standing on the street! These set pictures are just oozing with excitement. One thing that IS truly exciting is the trifecta of Inception teaser trailer before Inglorious Basterds on Avatar Day.

Two Obsessions Unite: Basterds and Inception
August 21st, 2009. It’s the battle royale (with cheese). Quentin Tarantino vs. James Cameron.
QT’s Inglorious Basterds releases 8/21/09.
James Cameron announces 8/21/09 is “Avatar Day” by previewing 15 minutes of mind blowing 3-D footage for the rabid fans at select theaters.
QT raises Cameron with a dose of Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight).
In just over a week, we will all get to see who really has the juice. An always celebrated new film from Tarantino or 15 minutes of Avatar? It has just been announced, that the “hush-hush” yet highly anticipated Inception will premiere its first teaser trailer before Inglorious Basterds. Inception is the sci-fi inside the mind currently filming across the globe. It will be Christopher Nolan’s first film since The Dark Knight and boasts an impressive cast of Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt , Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, and others.
Who will get the most buzz next week?
“Inception” is Elaborate Bribe to get Nolan to Make Batman 3
Christopher Nolan is set to start working on his first film since The Dark Knight next month (July). The film written by Nolan himself is titled “Inception” and is vaguely detailed as a “contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.”
That’s all we got. Oh, and that Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (seriously, again – when did he sell his soul to the devil), Cillian Murphy, Michael Caine, and Tom Hardy all are attached to this $200 million dollar sci fi.
Note to Warner Brothers. We know Dark Knight made a Trillion Dollars. Please know that Nolan’s other non-Batman films did not perform strongly at the box office (Memento, Insomnia, The Prestige). $200 million budget?! Really? Consider also that The Dark Knight cost $185 million. And this one takes place “in the mind.” Good luck with that.
