‘Inception’ Action Influenced by James Bond

Christopher Nolan talks about his latest film



Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Inception, follows a group of thieves who take secrets from other people’s dreams.

Nolan said that the sci-fi thriller is intentionally influenced by James Bond because to him, Bond signifies grand-scale action.

Similarly to the Bond films, Inception was filmed in a variety of locations, like Morocco, Japan, France and Canada, according to BBC News.

Nolan, who also directed Memento, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, described the Bond movies as films that stood for the promise of being taken to some place bigger than you could have imagined.

He thereby compared the films to his newest directorial effort.

“By the end of the film you feel that Inception could go anywhere and do anything,” he said.

The cast of Inception includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Michael Caine and Marion Cotillard.

Critics have commended the film for its mixture of intense action sequences and emotional charge. Some have called it Nolan’s “masterpiece.”

Inception opens in theaters nationwide July 16.
