Exclusive Interview: Christopher Nolan Talks Inception

Jul 7, 2010

We have a very special treat for you today as we get to bring you our exclusive interview with Christopher Nolan ahead of his brand new movie, Inception which hits UK cinemas 16th July. Inception is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, mainly because it’s been written and directed by Nolan who was responsible for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight which was, until James Cameron’s Avatar came along, the highest grossing movie of all time.

In our interview, we ask Nolan about where his artisitic inflences come from, how creating and shifting realiting affects the action scenes, and he also tells us the key rules from the world of Inception.

Inception stars Ellen Page, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Caine, Tom Berenger, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and Talulah Riley. As you read this we’re currently in the UK Press Conference for the movie. We saw it this morning and you can staty tuned for our review which will be on HeyUGuys in the near futue.

“highest grossing”? Seriously? What about Titanic, Return of the King and Dead Man's Chest? Must try harder.
Congrats on the interview, mind, and looking forward to reading the review soon.

The problem with Inception? This emperor has no clothes | David Cox | Film News Jul 21, 2010 At 00:10

[…] Inception was billed as being “set within the architecture of the mind“. That seems to hint at a link with the book entitled The Architecture of the Mind in which the philosopher Peter Carruthers argues that mental function depends on the interaction of huge numbers of modules. Nolan himself implies that for him, dreaming was far more than a merely Hitchcockian MacGuffin. He says his film is about “having to really accept certain parts of your memory or your past or your subconscious“. […]
