Warner Bros. has released the second trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming thriller Inception, which was attached to Sherlock Holmes in theaters this past holiday weekend. Early reactions were hard to gauge, as it didn’t seem like anyone really knew what was happening. The trailer begins with a Leonardo DiCaprio voice-over talking about the parasitic nature of ideas, and follows with some scattered clips of cities folding in half, Ellen Page walking quickly away and Joseph Gordon-Levitt trying to escape in a cab. That’s about all I picked up.

Here’s the rub. With a film such as this — one that will be shrouded until the very last minute — the key for an trailer cutter is to make the film seem exciting, even if the entire plot isn’t explained. Their goal is to get us yearning for more, wondering what all of this is about, and leaving us ready for the next trailer. This Inception trailer accomplishes just that. Mr. Nolan, you have our attention.

Inception is in theaters on July 16, 2010. The trailer is below, courtesy of Apple.

    There are so many better actors to be in this movie besides Leo.

    Such as?

  • Kangaroo Be Stoned

    Like Ellen Page? *laughs*

    Actually, I think he's a good choice. Leo DiCaprio has grown a lot as an actor since his Titanic days. He's already proven that he can do thrillers with The Departed, so more power to him.

    At least he's not going back to the Christian Bale well again. He's a good actor, but it's nice to branch out.

    Sold.

    I'm actually a fan of DiCaprio and think he is a good actor and am glad he is in this film

    but even if someone didn't think that way, I think you have to assume the studio insisted on a big star for this type of film. keep in mind they are allowing him to make this film instead of starting on the third batman film, so they want something in return and something to help ensure the movie makes money, i.e. Dicaprio in the film.

    but again, i think he's in the film because his acting justifies it.

    Nolan has the Kubrick esque' deal with Warners. They are letting him do whatever because they know they have their meal ticket with Nolan. Look at the returns for TDK…they'll let him do whatever he wants. This movie might not bank alot or come close to TDK box office which every one will be speculating *ahem* FSR *ahem* but give the guy a break. He's making his “Prestige” movie and then going back to Batman (hpefully). Take notice Sam Raimi! You should've done that awful Drag Me To Hell after Spiderman 2.

    Amazing trailer! Ellen Page's screams at the end gave me chills, pretty awesome!

    I'm 100% SOLD…

  • LP Godin

    It kinda feel weird to see a trailer for a blockbuster that isn't a sequel or an adaptation of some kind…

    I barely know what this movie is about and I like it…

  • Winnie_T

    Summer 2010 come on already! You're holding the must-watch movies hostage!

  • Sean Damon

    Why July? I can’t wait that long.

    I’ll just go to sleep and wake up so it’ll take quicker :P

    You mean Spider-Man 3 right?

  • Rohith

    All I can say after watching this trailer is, I am ready for the next trailer.

    From what I see so far, I don't think this will be another TDK ($1 billion).
    I know it's too early to predict but people usually don't get interested in such movies. Maximum worldwide collection for this movie would be $500 million or less. Most if it is due to the power of Nolan and a bit from Leo.
