If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That seems to be the mentality down at Christopher Nolan’s go-to marketing department.
The first poster for Nolan’s “Inception” has been unveiled via the film’s official website — through what seems to be the first stages of another viral marketing campaign — and looks to be a carbon copy of a Heath Ledger-centric poster from Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.”
The poster persists with the tagline from the teaser trailer, “your mind is the scene of the crime,” sports Leonardo DiCaprio’s name over all his counterparts and, for some reason, depicts the actor in a scene from a Roland Emmerich film.
While this poster seems a little uninspired, we have no doubt that Nolan’s film will be anything but. Featuring a stellar cast including the likes of Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Lukas Haas, Tom Berenger and Michael Caine, the film is being described as a “contemporary sci-fi-actioner set within the architecture of the mind” and reportedly follows DiCaprio’s CEO-type protagonist as he is on the run from the law in a labyrinth of dreams (or some shit…).
“Inception” is due out June 16th of next year with a trailer apparently out this Christmas on prints of “Sherlock Holmes” — which shockingly, to us at least, is apparently tracking really well.
