It's all in your mind...

Here's a look at some of the latest character posters for the Christopher Nolan's follow-up to The Dark Knight, the surreal thriller (and 100% Batman-free) Inception.  The posters show some of the cast such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy.  The film follows Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb, a skilled thief in the art of "Inception", in which he can steal secrets from within a person's subconscious during their dream state. Cobb’s rare ability makes him valuable in corporate espionage. In one last job, he is hired to plant something in someone's mind instead of stealing something, and as you might imagine, this is where chaos - and massive effects - ensue.

While the cast may make this sound like a Batman Begins reunion of sorts, much like the first trailers these new character posters aren't spoiling any of the film's secrets, which in this day of instant information overload is a great thing indeed.  Given Nolan's outstanding track-record of bending cinematic rules and playing with expectations, it certainly sounds like Inception will be a very interesting film when it creeps into people's minds on July 16, 2010.  Until that date, enjoy the posters and ponder the mystery of it all...
