Chris Nolan's Inception gets a second trailer.

Still next to no plot, but plenty of interesting imagery, star-billing for Leonardo DiCaprio, plus cameos from Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lucas Haas, Tardy, and Cillian Murphy. I didn't notice any glimpses of Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard, or 'he's the killer!' Tom Berenger (if this were a TV crime procedural, I would have just solved the mystery). This one comes out July 16th, 2010. Nice pick, since that's been Warner Bros' 'kill everything in sight' box office weekend since 2007. Worked for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Dark Knight, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And yes, that's the same weekend that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows part 2 comes out in 2011. So history will likely repeat itself and we should see a boffo opening, possibly one of the top openings ever for a 'completely original' property. I'm just trying to stay relatively spoiler-free for the next seven months.
