“This if your first lesson….you never remember the beginning of the dream,” says Leonardo DiCaprio to his new assistant Ellen Page in the latest TV spot for Christopher Nolan’s brainy heist thriller “Inception” set to hit screens in a couple of weeks. We have a feeling those words may be a warning/tease for the audience as well.
There are have been a number of TV spots for the film already, but the majority of them are merely recut from the trailers, but this one is the first to expand upon the cafe scene with DiCaprio and Page, intriguingly revealing it to be a dream (shades of “The Matrix” here). But how they got there without Page realizing it remains tantalizingly unclear.
Oh yeah, the snazzy poster is the Korean one sheet for the film which rightly uses the eye grabbing shot of a street folding in on itself as its centerpiece. Not too shabby.
“Inception” also stars Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tom Hardy and opens on July 16th.
