Inception Trailer

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

INCEPTION, in cinemas 16th July 2010.

The Avengers Series 4 Out On DVD This July

As Series 4 of definitive spy-fi The Avengers hit UK audiences in 1965, there were some major changes, the first being the introduction of Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, replacing former sidekick to John Steed (Patrick Macnee), Dr Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman). The name Emma Peel derived from producers wanting to create a character with ‘man appeal’, and formed part of a new sexier direction. More than 80 actresses auditioned for the role before Rigg was discovered. Her screen test with Macnee showed the two immediately worked well together, and a new era in Avengers history began. It was also this series, the last to be filmed in black and white, which was sold to US television for a then un-heard of sum of $2 million. This made it one of the first British series to be aired on prime-time American Television.

The Avengers Series 4 is available to buy on DVD from the 5th July!
