Must Watch: Full Theatrical Trailer for Chris Nolan's Inception

Source: Mind Crime

Warner Bros debuted the full-length theatrical trailer (and probably last one we'll see) for Chris Nolan's Inception last night in front of Iron Man 2. Although I'd seen footage at WonderCon and ShoWest, this is something even I had seen, and it's beautiful. There aren't many words to describe how incredibly epic and amazing this looks, but beautiful and stunning and mesmerizing are a few that fit best. While we wait until December for Tron Legacy, Inception has become my most anticipated movie this summer. This just looks so phenomenal. I'm not afraid of calling Nolan the closest director to Kubrick and Hitchcock we have today.

Watch the full theatrical trailer for Christopher Nolan's Inception:

This trailer officially comes within the Mind Crime viral game located at: mind-crime.com

If you haven't seen them, watch the first teaser trailer and second teaser trailer for Inception at those links. A thriller set within the architecture of the mind about a CEO who is involved in a blackmailing scandal.

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 previously co-wrote the scripts for Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, and The Dark Knight with his brother Jonathan Nolan. Warner Bros is bringing Inception to theaters starting on July 16th this summer. See you all in theaters!

Could someone please wipe the drool from my mouth?

Fucking amazing!! Epic trailer, fantastic music. This will easily be one of the best movies of the Summer! It's awesome to see Nolan's growth as a filmmaker with each film he does. Damn just imagine Batman 3!
Matthew

I watched it again, hence another comment. The manipulation of the suspended bodies. The line at the end, "We mustin be afraid to dream a little bigger darling." ummm I really can't wait to dive into the story.

holy crap! i've been excited for this since it was first announced (being a huge fan of basically everyone involved with this film) and i still can't believe how incredible it looks!
http://firstshowing.net Tim Buel

This literally just blew my mind. I second what i said on this week's show....there will be nothing better. ever
ocp

HOLY SHIT
Urban Kirk

This is by far the most epic trailer for any film. The film has everything: A mind blowing story, a bit (not a lot) of romance, and effects that I thought would never be filmed like this!
jono

FUCKING AMAZING THE TRAILER IS ALREADY BETTER THAT IRON MAN
asfsd

HOLY MIND FOOK THAT WAS EPIC AZZ SHITE!!! Excuse my language. Nolan keeps on outdoing himself with each movie. Inception looks grand I can only imagine what Batman 3 will look like. Poor Favreau... Always gets stomped on by the kickassness of Nolan hahaha The Dark Knight > Iron-Man Inception > Iron-Man 2

Very interesting, I know it'll be good. You guys are all fanboys, though

What #11 said. DUDE!
leinergroove

F**** EPIC.
Typhoon

When I watched the first two trailers, I didn't like it. I told myself, the only reason I would watch it was because of Ellen Page. That's it. ...BUT, after seeing "this" trailer, and finding out more about it, I really like it. Surreal, yet intriguing. Makes you want more, just to find out what happens. Which is what it's suppose to do.
Aaron

I've never been more excited for a film my entire life. I may see this in theaters a million times... @1 Lucky bastard. I live in no-where-ville's Indiana and I was the only one cheering. :p

weird...but amazing...
Alejo

Holy f@&^! that closing scene sent shivers down my back. between Tron Legacy and this, I don't know which score sounds better thus far.
Ragweed

One minute the trailer's working fine, the next it's been taken down. Lucky timing on my part. And the trailer looks amazing. I can't wait for this to premier.
Sabes

This looks fantastic.
Theotherbluth

WOW!! Perm-A-Grin from start to finish.
Mikel

this is going to be the best movie of 2010. i can't say enough about how AMAZING this looks, sounds, feels! and i agree with #16. iron man ALWAYS out done by Nolan. hell this trailer was better than Iron Man 2
rockfeller111

totally lost for words...
taylor

That has to be your boldest claim I've ever heard, Alex, but i would be lying if i didn't agree with it.
robert420

The music is crazy! Absolutely ballsy. What a trailer.
Django

Uuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh..... (Eyes roll into back of head) (Mind Explodes) I think I'm a little excited about this.

I will be there opening day in IMAX. Phenominal trailer that thankfully reveals very little about the actual plot.
Arsenal215

Inception TV spots just hit. I just saw one on ESPN's NBA playoff coverage. Infact WB is sponsoring the game. They use the same scenes from this trailer for the 30 second spot.
Cody w

Wait.....that was so much awesome in so little time, just....HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jules

I like your comparison of Nolan to Hitchcock, Alex. I'm a huge fan of both directors, and I've been thinking of the similarities between them myself. Both British masters of suspense, both repeatedly snubbed by the Oscar committee, and both delivering classic after classis. One big difference: Nolan hasn't made a subpar movie yet! Eventhough Hitchcock is a legendary directors, not all of his movies were great. The legacy he left is amazing though: North by Northwest, Vertigo, Psycho, Rear Window, etc etc etc... However, if you look at Nolan;s body of work so far, it is ridiculously impressive as well: Following, Memento, Insomnia (his only movie that was just really good and not plain awesome), Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight... And just when you think he could never make anything as good as The Dark Knight again, along comes Inception. Can't wait.
Cracky

Looks pretty good. Personally thought the first trailer was cooler, but at least this one helps with the mental confusion. But like most people who overload these discussions with caps lock and devotion... many will be let down. Don't get me wrong, this movie looks like it will be a fantastic piece of cinema, lol... but I can just see how it will play out for many.
Raflyn

Can't help but think about Paprika...and feel sad that this isn't as original as it seems. Sounds like a more action/badass version of the Paprika, which was AMAZING. So that's ok. Definitely worth seeing (both of them)
eric

A lot more JGL in that trailer <3
Xerxex

O.O speechless! Cannot wait!!!!!!!
harrison

was skeptical about this, but now that it somewhat makes sense what its about, it looks quite good
sobha raj

top of the charts for the year. this trailer just increased the hunger for this film.
Xerxex

once on dvd, I can put this right between my Blade Runner dvd and my Minority Report dvd, then followed by my The Prestige dvd!
dave

Fucking amazing...
silver

only thing is I didn't like the Transformers-esque background noise
last son

One of the best trailers I have ever seen. Nolan just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see this film and I also can't wait to see what he does with the third Batman film and the Superman Reboot.
sickdoghats

nolan is the only one who can pull off a good twist and i cant wait to see what its going to be.
jonny b

hans zimmer's horns revved the shit out of that
case money

fucking a, let me watch this now.
Peter

haha its like the tom waits song.. innocent when you dream... Where are the arms that held me and pledged her love before and pledged her love before It's such a sad old feeling the fields are soft and green it's memories that I'm stealing but you're innocent when you dream when you dream

Looks good and all but yeah I couldn't help but think about Paprika. I wish there wasn't a scene where he runs through the hotel hallway just like the guy does in Paprika. I still want to see it. Looks awesome.
Loser

Nerdgasm Can`t wait this looks incredible
Jaf

I will see this
bubba b

this looks o-mazing

still like it was from the start - BALLS AWESOME!
Ben Chacko

I just watched Iron Man 2 tonight and when this trailer came on I was completely on the edge of my seat. It looks amazing and just can't wait to see it. The cast is fucking incredible and the story looks amazing a film and story I've always been very curious about and wanted to see made into film the right way. I honestly believe this will be the film of the year. Oh and Tron Legacy looks insane too. Both trailers were the best I've seen in such a long time. Probably my favorites ever. Two people mentioned the movie Paprika, I honestly never saw it but after hearing such great things about it and that it is similar. I'll check it out. Thanks for the info and reccomendation. Damnnn I wish I could see Inception right now!!!!!!!!
virgil

i'm still recovering after seeing this. it's gonna be the BEST MOVIE EVER!
The movie man

HOLY FUCKING BATMAN! I was beating off to porn and actually jizzed in my panties watching this trailer instead. This is the movie event of the YEAR! I cant think of any other movie that I know of that would be on a large scale as this one. Oscar nod for best picture for sure!
John

"You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling" BEST MOVIE LINE OF THE DECADE SO FAR!!!
Treeger

HOLY CRAPPPP!!!!
Krupz

Amazing trailer and amazing score, could not take my eyes of the screen for a second. Can not WAIT!!!
Glass

This trailer was better than Iron Man 2.
SlashBeast

I watched this in the theatre and the audience was definitely confused, but they definitely wanted to learn more. I have no doubt that this film will be a success.
frank

Still looks like a Dark City rip
EnigmA

Nolan is hands down the most productive director of our life time, Spielberg is Spielberg but even he has movies that are questionable sometimes. Nolan i dont think has made a bad movie, not all were huge blockbuster hits but they were/are amazing, he doesnt mind pushing the limits on the "WTF" factor (Memento, The Prestige) but does it so great. I agree that Inception and Tron will take over this year. i'd also like to point out that this is one of very few trailers on here with this many responses where EVERYONE! has nothing negative to say, that has to say something.
http://twitter.com/ricoalbarracin Rico

The quote for me is when DiCaprio is talking to Page and says "Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize that something was actually strange." July 16th cannot come any sooner.
Lucas

Inception will be the summer movie to beat this year without a doubt. And i just have to say, I love Leo as an actor, and Cillian and Ken and Cotillard, and Page and Caine and Tom Brady (especially in Bronson) but i think its not only safe but VITAL to say that Joseph-Gordon Levitt is the GREATEST ACTOR of OUR GENERATION! He is going to be OUR Brando! The hair, the acting chops, EVERYTHING! Buddy, just give him an Oscar NOW!
Sharlto

JGL baby JGL!
pulp fiction212

WOAH this is gnna make cinema history fashoo
Darren

If Avatar was nominated for best picture...this would definatly would be the Winner! JGL is a good actor who needed to be in a badass, well scripted role and this is it
jjboldt

Now that.......looks sweet!!!
DoomCanoe

@73 Brick The Lookout both JGL movies with amazing scripts where he plays a total bad ass #67 ... this looks nothing like Dark City...like....at all
BoxOfficeZ

WOw, that was the awesomest thing in history of awesome
AgentMcQueen

The Movie Kidd

Meh... Ill pass
Darren

tom hardy....loooks like a total badass...great in Bronson! excellent actor...Cillian ehh good actor, just not my favorite, the effects look great. one question HOW THE HELL DID NOLAN GET THAT ZERO GRAVITY PEOPLE SUSPENDED IN AIR SPINNING THEN! When i saw that i was like dammn!!!! CANT WAIT...
http://twitter.com/JOHNSTAMOS John Stamos

looks pretty fuking epic looks pretty fuking original I'm gonna call it right now: Chris Nolan has done it again!
Chazzy O

That sounded like Zimmer.... so I'm praying to God that that incredibly epic piece of music is part of the original score for the movie. I cannot wait for this movie.
casting couch

That looks pretty damn good. Great trailer.
jaberwocky

possibly the greatest ensemble cast ever with possibly the greatest modern director. this is going to be huge. as soon as its possible im going to be in an imax queue
jim

seems like Hans Zimmer is doing a great job again! This Guy is amazing, too
John

AWESOME trailer July is definately THE month for movies this year... with Airbender, Predators, and then possibly the greatest movie of the year, INCEPTION to round out the last of the Summer movies that i will watch, it'll be a good one to end it with... it really is not that good of a year for movies as far as quantity, but Inception and Tron's quality alone make up for the lack of quantity. Hans Zimmer is my absolute favorite contemporary composer... he simply CANNOT write a dissapointing piece of music.. Lion King, The Rock, Dark Knight, Last Samurai, Pearl Harbor, Gladiator, Transformers, Rain Man, Crimson Tide, Sherlock Holmes, Black Hawk Down..ALLL outstanding musical scores.. He's written over 100 pieces..a truly talented writer and musician (he actually plays the synthesizers for many of his pieces)
filmmusicnerd

The music to the new Inception trailer is actually not Hans Zimmer, it was custom written by a trailer music company called Pusher. Love Hans (and I can't wait to hear his score for this film) - but this piece of music definitely stands on its own. Can't wait til July 16!
johnny Crow

Wow, I didnt really care about it much until now!
Chazzy O

@ 86. Damn it, that's what I was afraid of. This music sounded insanely awesome, though. Oh well, Hans will still do great, as he always does.
Para

yawn...looks like another matrix clone
casting couch

@89 -- Yawn... Looks like another "looks like another Matrix clone" comment.
Cody w

@89 A matrix clone, are you fucking kidding me?.....stop trying to be the one guy whose opinion differs from everyone else just to be the one guy whose opinion differs from everyone else.
Ostilad

Normally I'd be scared for appears to be the best movie of the year being directed by directors that kill good stories. But Mr. Nolan is right at home here. I'm there! @89 This is no Matrix. This is Inception. The Wichowskis have nothing on Nolan.
http://www.mkingscott.co.uk Mike Kingscott

Wowsers, that looks... intense. Leonardo Di Caprio seems to carry the lead effortlessly, very believable - missed seeing him in Shutter Island. Will definitely be watching this one
Jacob Crim

@69 he has only made a few original films, granted all his films have been great I doubt if he goes on as long as Steven that every single movie he does will be perfect.
Trey M

Nolan is the man...and hes gonna write the new Superman.....
http://voice123.com/trailer-voice-over.html Voice123 - Trailer Voice Over

This is Christopher Nolan's first, completely original movie, since Following (1998), his films between them are all remakes or are based on comics.
Michael

The composer's name is Zack Hemsey. He wrote the music in this trailer in association with Pusher. You can buy the track here. http://music.zackhemsey.com/ I played guitar for his band, Nine Leaves. He is a seriously talented guy, and still early in his career.
Fisherr

Nolan= Epic.
antony

i think i just creamed my pants. one of the best trailers i have ever seen. i cant wait to see this.
severino

I wonder if this is worth seeing in imax, im not sure if it is shot with imax camera
Wes

Nolan's Dark Knight trailers made me want to see Dark Knight so much..same goes with Inception. Even the first teaser trailers made me want to see this movie and now Im blown away
elyk

chills...
deadpool 72

excellent stuff,film of the year.
Walker

I work at the movie theatre everytime this trailer goes on before iron man 2 people go nuts. Def looks like movie of the year to me
Rod Tidwell

@ 97 Dude, thank you very much for posting that. I just assumed it was Zimmer's music. Amazing work.
deadpool 72

just watched the trailer again,the music is so excellent,this is definetly going to be the coolest film of the year.
rockfeller111

this is zimmers music, lot of people on lot of sites naming different composers. listen to other zimmer score, specifically dark knight and its clear he composed it. also if you look back at past nolan trailers he always uses the film score in the trailer. so far i've heard 4 different people claiming to have composed the music..people stop taking credit for other peoples work.
Wes

#107 Or you could look at #97's comment and realize that you're wrong.. Look up Zack Hemsey on youtube and you will see he composed the song used in the trailer. How about you let people continue crediting the right person?
Cody w

Has anyone else watched this like 5 times?
Ostilad

@109 Yes. I keep on switching my attention between the audio and visual. This is stunning stuff.
casting couch

@107 -- Wrong! Zimmer's score will have to live up to the quality of this trailer's excellent score.
pulp fiction212

i could see J.G.L as the next joker his face and H.L look the same hope chris nolan sees that but the qustion is can he pull it off or does he think that he would ruin a legend????
Cody w

@112 As much as I would like for him to bring back the Joker and give JGL a shot, I also dont at all, it could be a total film wrecker for Batman 3. Nolan will bring another coupla villains leave the Joker in Arkham where he belongs. I would however love to see a quick Cameo of JGL as the Joker, maybe he could be the only person that could point Batman in the right direction....with an intense brief dialogue between the 2.
krazyplaya

@111 I think the first 2 trailers had zimmer's score and this 3rd trailer is another composer's take on that score, go back and listen to the first 2 trailers, different score by zimmer or someone else, because this 3rd trailer has a completely different sound to it but same basic concept and melodies
Chee

The score in this trailer was done by Zack Hemsey.
Vet4Peace

EPIC trailer. Can't wait for this. Nolan can really turn up the intensity and he gets a lot out of his actors. JGL looks awesome in this. My respect for him continues to grow. I too would like to see him in a Batman movie, but not so sure about replacing Heath. Ledger OWNED that role.
Suspect Zero

Looks like a mind-bender (no pun intended). Nolan is a genius at unfolding the story in creative ways. I wonder what the twist will be this time. I can't wait! Trailer got me hooked.
var2apo

I shuddered when i saw it! Really cool trailer. Can't wait.
