First, let me say that I really love these character one-sheets (full collection can be viewed HERE) in their design, color scheme, and most of all, mystery. As you can see, each character is given a title, but in conjunction with what little is known about the film (entering dreams to steal/protect ideas), they actually add a thin new layer of intrigue. Cotillard's wife-character is a perfect example. In the latest trailer, we see her in DiCaprio's arms, smiling, and later crying, but here she's listed as The Shade, which sounds much less innocent. Factor in the fact that on the most recent theatrical poster Cotillard is holding a gun, and it makes you wonder. Same goes for Ken Watanabe. His character is described as someone who blackmails DiCaprio, but about what and with what no one knows...so why is he called The Tourist? It's all part of the mystery, one that we'll have to wait until July 16th to try and unravel...
