Okay, I lied about not posting any further details about the plot. I’ll put the official synopsis up since word is, like The Dark Knight, we’re not going to receive even a peak at the film’s third act before release day and that the synopsis spoils nothing we won’t figure out very early in the film. Also, here’s the fourth poster courtesy of Yahoo.
Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
Inception marks the seventh feature film Christopher Nolan has directed. He also wrote the script. Alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Inception stars Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger, Michael Caine, Lukas Haas and Dileep Rao.
Inception will be in theaters on July 16th.
