The New Inception Trailer: OMG They Remade Dreamscape

OK, true story: last year I’m on a flight to L.A., and the guy in the seat next to me is working on some kind of production schedule for a movie. I’m not shoulder-surfing, but he’s got a MacBook that’s so deluxe it basically stretches over three seats. Plus he gets way pissed when the outlet he’s plugged into craps out and his battery dies, and he hassles the stewardess, so his business becomes my business.

Anyhoo, the title of the movie he was working on was Inception. At the time I didn’t know what that was. Now I do, sort of: it’s Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited Dreamscape remake! Am I right? Eh? That cheesy 80′s scifi movie, which I saw twice in the theater, where Dennis Quaid has the power to enter your dreams? (Oh Dennis — you were already there!) And that scary-looking guy from The Warriors is all, “I’m a god in here!”

Yeah, let’s roll some footage:

Yes, that’s Christopher Plummer, finally finding the creative fulfillment he never achieved in The Sound of Music.

    Was Dreamscape cheesy? Hell yes.
    Was Dreamscape awesome? Kinda.

    For some reason I always confuse it with Walken’s The Dead Zone.. whcih was written by Steven King which would put it in the horror category but it is sci fi isn’t it?

    This Inception trailer seems to have more in common with The Thirteenth Floor.

    Dreamscape was the first thing I thought of when I saw the inception trailer.

    btw, although Christopher Plummer appeared in movie the man in the Dreamscape trailer is actually Max von Sydow.
