So I talked last time about the marketing for "Inception" and just how insane this movie is being marketed. Well it didn't stop there. Saturday morning at about 2 A.M a commercial played during "The 40 Year Old Virgin" on the channel USA. It just showed some wall with the texts DID YOU KNOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN ACCESS YOUR MIND playing over. It then said KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND YOUR MIND CLOSED TEXT MIND CRIME TO 5500. if you did this it sent back a code for a website. another one played during Juno, this one said TEXT WAKE ME UP to 5500. this one sent back a code that lead to http://www.whatisdreamshare.com/ a new Viral site.
Then posters began appearing in Chicago that said MIND THEFT IS REAL....PROTECT YOUR THOUGHTS LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT MINDCRIME. Now the third stage of the viral maze game Mind Crime has opened up. and even further we have the following new banners released with the awesome new tagline THE DREAM IS REAL
Now I want one really badly those are freaking awesome, especially the Joseph Gordon Levitt hallway one......you can't look me in the eye and tell me these posters aren't awesome!
Now that is all I really wanted to say about "Inception". Now on to other stuff!
Tron Legacy comes out this next Christmas and it should be pretty cool. It is both a reboot and a sequel to the original 1982 film starring Jeff Bridges (the guy is brilliant). The original is a classic, while it has sketchy special effects, its awesome. Jeff Bridges plays Flynn in the original, he owns an arcade and he gets sucked into a virtual computer world and is forced to stop the MCU (Master Control Unit).
In this sequel Bridges is reprising his role as Flynn, who appears to have gone missing some time ago when his son was a little kid. So his son played by Garret Hedlund (Friday Night Lights) go
es to find him and ends up in the same virtual world where Flynn has been living. The design of the virtual world is extremely sleek looking and looks better then the original, yet its also much darker than the original, which could be a good thing. The cast is another reason to be excited Along with Bridges and Hedlund we have got the very talented Micheal Sheen, Olivia Wilde (TVs House) and Bruce Boxleitner is reprising his role as Alan Bradley from the original.

While I remain skeptical of 3D technology and filmmaking I think it could be cool used here. Its filmed with updated versions of the 3D cameras that James Cameron created for "Avatar". Now I am still iffy about 3D and plan to make my next post all about the pros and cons and fears of 3D technology. Anyhow it looks pretty dang cool and you can check out the trailer here and even cooler visual concept test footage they showed at ComiCon last year here. It should be pretty cool, especially since the awesome band Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack!
