 With all the madness of the NZ International Film Festival looming ever-closer, other upcoming film releases may have slipped your mind. Unless of course - you, like us - have been eagerly counting down the sleeps until the release of 'INCEPTION' locally! There are seventeen left, I'll have you know... There's a lot to be excited about. And by a lot, I mean that the next blockbuster cult-film is on it's way to cinemas, in both IMAX and 35mm formats. Christopher Nolan (director of 'The Dark Knight') worked on the script of 'Inception' for nine to ten years. That's an entire decade of Nolan pouring his vital forces into writing an emotional journey that could be brought to life on the big-screen, to captivate and fascinate audiences worldwide. The following synopsis might sound like a doozy, but the emotional catalysts of Leonardo DiCaprio's character are universal: "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." Watch two trailers for 'Inception' below... "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 rewrite all the rules. Which is why I have to steal it." - Dom Cobb "Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange." - Dom Cobb Click HERE to watch a behind-the-scenes video of 'Inception'.
