I am not a fan of movies being rebooted or revamped. To me, it just means that the studio that made the movie made a mistake and needs a fresh start or the studio would like to make more money on a familiar set of characters or plot.

“Inception” is a dream-heist film by “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan. The marketing for it has been everywhere. On tv, in primetime during the NBA Finals. So, with the marketing that has been shown, you think it would be enough? No. These banners are for UK promotion but it wouldn’t be a stretch if it made its way to the US.

Inception is both written and directed by acclaimed Oscar nominated British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, of Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. Nolan wrote the screenplays for Memento, Batman Begins (with David Goyer), The Prestige & The Dark Knight (both with Jonathan Nolan). Warner Bros is bringing Inception to theaters starting on July 16th this summer. Only a few weeks are left!
