Tijdens een recent interview met The Inquirer sprak Leonardo DiCaprio over Inception en hoe het was om te werken aan de film. De acteur bekent dat de castleden tijdens de opnames lang niet altijd begrepen waar ze mee bezig waren:
The material and its complexity are what Im attracted to
Ive been lucky to work with people who want to tell stories that hit on different cylinders simultaneously. Shutter Island is definitely that. Inception is the same. It is Chris delving into dream psychoanalysis and, at the same time, making a high-octane, surreal film that came from his mind. He wrote the entire thing, and it all made sense to him. It didnt make sense to many of us when we were doing it. We had to do a lot of detective work (laughing) to figure out what the movie was about.
Regisseur Christopher Nolan zei onlangs nog dat de film zijn grootste uitdaging tot nu toe is. Het is een immens project: "Inception is expansive, I suppose youd say, in four dimensions."
Naast DiCaprio zijn er rollen voor Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy en Michael Caine. De film verschijnt op 12 augustus in de Nederlandse bioscopen.
