Summer Movie Guide 2010: Inception

Inception

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe and Marion Cotillard
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
Opens July 16, 2010

Dark Knight director Nolan takes a break from the Batman franchise for this sci-fi thriller set “within the architecture of the mind” and revolving -- we think -- around a case of corporate espionage. (Warner Bros. has been surprisingly effective in keeping this one under wraps, so we’re sadly forced to speculate.) Leo returns for more mind-bending fun after teaming with Scorsese for the brain-scrambler Shutter Island.

What We Think: We’re down for anything involving Nolan – or DiCaprio, for that matter -- even though the first Inception trailer felt a little too Matrix-y for our tastes.

Cool to Know: Inception is the first project Nolan’s conceived, written, and directed entirely on his own since 1998’s Following, his first feature film. 2000’s Memento was based on a short story by his brother, Jonathan.
