A contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.

I'm not sure how I could get more excited about this film.  Possibly if they announced they were serving bacon during the IMAX viewings?  Or if they promote it with midgets riding giraffes dressed as Teen Wolf.  Those are probably the only two ways.  So far so good Team Nolan.

You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialise correctly. Either way not very awesome. You should get that looked at.

Here is the teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's follow up to The Dark Knight, Inception starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm not giving this the fancy trailer treatment because it is only a teaser, and there's little to no good info out there. That being said this kicks ass. Definitely my favorite tag line/teaser bit in a long time

Your mind is the scene of the crime

What are your thoughts on Inception?

And if you want to dig a little more you can head on over to Just Jared for a few posts featuring some photos of Leonardo, Ellen Page, and Marion Cotillard in action. Here is one where it appears Leo is reacting to a nearby explosion while those around him are apparently not affected. Possibly the explosion is only in Leonardo's head?

One of my favorite types of movies are the ones where really good directors hire really good actors to star in them. That is one of the reasons I am excited for Christopher Nolan's next project, Inception.

Leonardo DiCaprio will star in "Inception," the science-fiction film that Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight") wrote and will direct as his next pic at Warner Bros.

The project shoots this year and is slated to be released in summer 2010, with Nolan and Emma Thomas producing. DiCaprio's deal is in final negotiations.

Script has been kept under wraps but the studio calls it a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.

People are making a big deal about how not much is known yet about the story but to me "sci fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind" is pretty explanatory. I'm thinking of some weird cross between The Thirteenth Floor and The Matrix. I'll keep you updated on this one for sure.

** Nicholas Cage is not attached to this project in any way but how amazing is that picture

Holy Not Batman 3! Nolan Set For Inception

In a big FU to uber nerds everywhere, Christopher Nolan has come to a deal for his next project, a script Nolan has written himself titled "Not Batman 3". Fine, it's called Inception but it might as well be called NB3.

"Chris Nolan is a visionary filmmaker who continually raises the bar with each movie he makes," Warner Bros. Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov said. "We are thrilled to be collaborating again with him and Emma on this exciting new motion picture."

"Inception" is described as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind."

Don't kill yourself people, he's just waiting for the economy to turn around to really get the money truck to back up to his pad for the next Batman. And he gets to make a sweet Christopher Nolan movie on top of it. Sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind is certainly nothing to sneeze at, granted that might have been the pitch for The Dark Knight.

Super Hella Awesome Stuff: Dark Knight Script

The official Dark Knight screenplay was just released online by Warner Brothers to remind the voters just how awesome it is. If you enjoyed the movie I really suggest checking it out. It's a fun investment that can be finished in under two hours, and for those that have never read an actual screenplay it is a fun one to start with.

You can download the entire script after the jump.

In an effort to move Nic Cage down from the top post, and to share something that is not so disturbing and moreso awesome here is this, from a probably drunk Michael Caine:

“When Christopher [Nolan] said we were going to do ‘The Dark Knight’ next, I didn’t know what that meant in Batman terms,” related Caine, who plays Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler, Alfred Pennyworth. “I said, ‘What’s the story?’ and he said The Joker. I said, ‘Oh, s–t! How are you going to top Jack [Nicholson]?’ He said, ‘Well, I’ve cast Heath Ledger. And I went ‘Ha! I couldn’t top Jack, but if anyone could, maybe Heath could.’ And he did.

“I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make another one?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘S–t, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]

Now I am not saying Michael Caine has a drinking problem, just tell me that doesn't sound like someone who has had a couple chugs of ma's cough medicine. If this is true, and it would be pretty ridiculous to assume that at this point considering Nolan hasn't even written the script, it would certainly set up the next Batman to be the biggest movie of all time. Sounds good to me, your thoughts?
