New "Inception" character featurette


It's amazing that considering the amount of footage available for viewing, that Inception has managed to keep its main plot shrouded in mystery. Obviously we have some vague idea that DiCaprio and crew are after "one last job" and that they can enter dreams, but there's nothing remotely spoiler-worthy about that. Rumors are that many of the cast members, if not all of them, didn't fully understand what the film was about during much of the shooting process; hopefully that means the film is simply a mind-bender and not an overly confusing mess. Long-time Nolan cinematographer Wally Pfister's work here looks impeccable, bolstered by Nolan's insistence on shooting on-location and the vivid VFX work. My only real question actually worth asking is: why leave out Ken Watanabe? We know he's something of a villain, and we've clearly seen him in previous footage, so why leave him and his character title out?
