http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8Z3PlZTSdIendofvid [starttext] Released via Apple, the trailer sheds a bit about Leonardo DiCaprio's mission in the sci-fi thriller which synopsis is kept hidden.
The released synopsis for Christopher Nolan's "Inception" does little to explain what the movie is all about and the newly-released trailer of the movie does not help much either. However, it basically revolves around stealing an idea because it is the "most resilient parasite" and that "your mind is the scene of the crime".
A contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind, the film is centering on Leonardo DiCaprio as some CEO type of guy who wants to steal ideas from other people's mind. From the look of the trailer, the power of idea is able to fold the city and rewrite all the rules.
Supported also by Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Cillian Murphy, the movie is looking at July 16, 2010 U.S. release in theaters. [endtext]

Arriving in style: Jessica Alba at the premiere of her new movie Machete last night at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles
Lindsay Lohan may well have been released from rehab, but she left the promotional duties of her new film Machete to her co-stars last night.
Step forward Jessica Alba, who made sure all eyes were on her in an stand out, short metallic black and gold zigzag dress.
The 29-year-old star, who plays a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the action film, arrived in style to the world premiere in Los Angeles last night in a low rider.
Make way: The star is escorted to the venue in the colourful low rider, flanked by her bodyguard
Mother of one Jessica, who is married to Cash Warren, looked delighted to be centre of attention as she posed for photographs and signed autographs for fans at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown LA.
Lohan, who was released for rehab on Tuesday night, plays April Benz, an avenging socialite with a penchant for guns in the ultra violent movie.
Yesterday her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, said Lohan would not attend the screening of Machete.
Wow: The 29-year-old star was the centre of attention in a metallic black and gold zigzag dress, teamed with bondage-style heels. Her co-star Lohan was a no show
Cast call: With her co-star Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez, who dressed down in jeans and a skull print T-shirt
But she said Lohan's treatment schedule - including psychotherapy and addiction counselling sessions - will permit the actress to resume working.
In one scene in the controversial film, directed by Robert Rodriguez, Lohan goes topless while swimming in a waterfall with Alicia Rachel Marek, who plays her mother.
The film centers on Machete, an ex-Federale, played by Danny Trejo, who launches a brutal rampage of revenge against his boss after being betrayed by the organization who hired him.
Controversial: Lindsay Lohan dressed as a nun with a gun in a scene from the movie. Her attorney earlier said she would not be attending the premiere
It also stars Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Robert DeNiro, Rose McGowan and Don Johnson.
Machete has already fallen foul of controversy after a trailer that was released with a special 'Cinco De Mayo' message inviting viewers into a violent on-screen race war caused outcries of racism.
Rodriguez has a history when it comes to making violent movies, past projects have included the gory vampire movie, From Dusk Till Dawn and the 2007 hit Grindhouse.
Talk to the hand: Jennifer Aniston arrives at the Jon Stewart Show in New York last week
The turkey baster mover starring Jennifer Aniston is officially a turkey. 'The Switch,' performed badly in its opening weekend at the U.S. box office scoring only eighth place and grossing a mere $8.1 million dollars.
Even Aniston's recent regrettable and forgettable comedy Bounty Hunter with Gerard Butler earned $20 million in its opening weekend.
Reviewers panned the film with Us Weekly's Thelma Adams stating that Aniston 'treads on all-too-familiar ground; there isn't an exasperated hair flip we haven't already seen 100 times.'
The sperm donor film starring the 41-year-old actress and Jason Bateman was no match for the Sylvestser Stallone vehicle The Expendables, which maintained its number one spot for the second weekend running. The film has now grossed $64.9 million.
Tender moment: Aniston and co-star Jason Bateman share a quiet moment in The Switch, which only reached No.8 in the U.S. box office in its opening weekend
The Switch was also beaten at the box office by the Twilight spoof Vampires Suck, which grabbed second place with $12.2 million, Bow Wow's Lottery Ticket at number 4 with $11 million and Piranha 3-D at number six with $10 million.
Following this latest flop for the former Friends star, the New York Post contemplated whether Aniston chooses her movies based on what is happening in her life at the time.
The Post notes: 'In her newest movie, The Switch, Aniston plays a character that has no husband or boyfriend, which is decidedly inconvenient considering her time to have a child is running out.
'It's funny, cause that's the exact same situation the real Aniston wakes up to each and every morning (minus the stupendous dimmers that Brad Pitt personally installed in the house they lived in together, and the weighted knowledge that he now has six children that she did not give him).'
Sylvester Stallone and his co-stars have plenty to smile about as their movie The Expendables topped the US box office for the second week running
Both Aniston's career and her love life have been chequered with her former beaus including Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn and John Mayer.
Now Aniston is having to talk about a date she went on with American comedian and talk show host Jon Stewart over a decade ago.
Last week, Aniston was a guest on Jon's show, 'The Daily Show' - one of many she went on to plug her movie- when he reminded her of a romantic Italian dinner they shared in New York.
However, they both had conflicting recollections of the evening.
Said Stewart: 'I asked you out and it was lovely. I remember you brought so many of your friends.
'And I remember thinking, "She's so excited to be on a date with me, she wants me to get to know her posse."'
However, Aniston responded: 'If I remember correctly, wasn't it sort of like, "Hey, a group of us are going out, do you want to join?"'

Transformation: Angelina Jolie disguised as a man for her role as Evelyn Salt in the new film 'Salt'
For one of the world's most beautiful women, Angelina Jolie doesn't make a bad-looking man.
The Hollywood star spent hours in make-up donning fake ears, a fake nose and a latex neck covering to achieve the stunning transformation for her latest movie, Salt.
The effect was so convincing that when her family visited her on set in New York, husband Brad Pitt refused to kiss her and their nine-year-old adopted son Maddox did not even recognise her.
Reality: The star as she appears normally attends the premiere of Salt in Berlin last week
Miss Jolie said: 'I invited Maddox to come and say hi and didn't tell him who I was.
'He hung out with me for a while until I said ''Mad'' - and when he realised it was me he was just freaking out.
'Brad wouldn't kiss me either, he wouldn't go there.'
In the film, an action thriller, the 35-year-old actress plays CIA operative Evelyn Salt who is accused of being a Russian spy.
At one point she disguises herself as a tough male naval officer.
Salt was released in the UK on Friday and has received mixed reviews.
It has been reported that Miss Jolie is to play Marilyn Monroe in a new movie, but she denied that at Salt's London premiere.
She said: ‘I don’t know anything about it.’
Unrecognisable: Angelina dons the latex that will transform her into a man
My bad side: From a different angle the star - disguised as a man - looks somewhat creepy

Natural woman: Julia Roberts says 'The secret ingredient of beauty is being happy - and maybe a little eye cream'
While rival stars don't hesitate to put their features under the knife, Julia Roberts proudly remains a surgery free zone.
The 42-year-old actress, face of the cosmetic company Lancome, made no attempt to conceal her wrinkles at the premiere of her latest film.
Asked about her decision to embrace the ageing process, she said: 'The secret ingredient of beauty is being happy. And maybe a little eye cream.'
Miss Roberts, a mother of three, found fame 20 years ago with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.
Nice to meet you: Julia waves at the press and fans as she takes to the stage at the premiere of Eat, Pray, Love
She railed against cosmetic surgery in a recent interview, saying: 'Your face tells a story and it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office.'
Miss Roberts was visiting Tokyo where she was promoting her film Eat, Pray, Love, about a 40-something woman who travels to Italy, India and Bali after going through a divorce.
She has revealed that she is now a practising Hindu and goes to temple to 'chant and pray and celebrate'.
Pretty Woman: With her movie co-star Richard Gere in 1990
Born to Baptist and Catholic parents, she is thought to have made the religious conversion while shooting the movie.
She added that she hopes to be reincarnated as 'something quiet' after the stresses of celebrity.
After failing to set box offices alight in the Western world with her new film, Julia Roberts will be hoping for a better reception in the Far East.
So to possibly try to butter up her Japanese fan base, she took inspiration from the country's traditional dress.
The actress arrived in a kimono-style gold dress, which showed off her tall, willowy figure as she took to the stage at the Roppongi Hills Arena Julia and husband Daniel Moder, 41, flew into Narita Airport on a private jet and they plan to spend a few days exploring the country.
Despite a film career that has spanned two decades, this is her first ever visit to Japan.
Yesterday she held a press conference and photo call in Tokyo hours after arriving. But she avoided giving a proper answer when asked why it had taken her so long to visit the Land of the Rising Sun.
She said: It's just my good fortune to finally find myself here in Tokyo with all of you nice people.'

Head for heights: Angelina Jolie, who performed many of her own stunts in Salt, seems to be enjoying herself as she hangs off a New York building
What Angelina Jolie wants, she tends to get. When Sony boss Amy Pascal took Jolie to lunch four years ago and asked her whether she'd like to play a James Bond girl, she replied that she would prefer to play Bond.
They both laughed - but Jolie wasn't joking and Pascal had taken her seriously.
Jolie's wish was somewhat granted when Tom Cruise withdrew from playing a super-spy in Edwin A. Salt, a blockbuster conceived to rival the Bond and Jason Bourne movies.
The script was overhauled to accommodate Angelina, and the spy's name became Evelyn Salt; a CIA operative who goes on the run when she is suspected of being a Russian spy.
And Jolie was quick to ring in the changes. Salt's young daughter was written out of the film and the original conclusion was jettisoned. And a scene was added in which Salt covers a security camera with her underwear.
Jolie, 35, who also fought for the film's action scenes to be toughened up, says: 'My character doesn't use her sexuality. It's the roughest I've looked. I wanted my fight scenes to get darker and I wanted everyone to see that it was me.'
The film's Australian director, Phillip Noyce, thinks she has done a great job. 'This film is owned by Angelina,' he says. 'You can't imagine anyone else who could have pulled it off so effectively with her combination of extreme athleticism and acute acting ability.'
In action: Jolie takes things more seriously when the cameras are rolling. She has been praised for 'owning' her new role as CIA agent Evelyn Salt
Jolie's edgy portrayal was undoubtedly helped by her research into the shadowy world of real-life spies and agents.
Before taking on the role she talked to several women CIA spies, including the film's technical adviser, Melissa Boyle Mahle, who worked for the agency for 16 years.
'You wonder what these women are like - are they powerful?' Jolie says. 'My preconception of what a spy was like was blown out of the water. Melissa spoke about the loneliness of not being able to communicate with her family and what that does to you when you come home from work and you just can't share anything about your life.'
The film has benefited from priceless publicity with its release coinciding with news that the U.S. government had arrested 11 alleged Russian 'sleepers'.
These are agents trained to infiltrate the American way of life for many years before Day X - spytalk for the time they are eventually activated by Moscow.
No more Mrs Nice Guy: Jolie says of Salt, 'In some movies I've made, there's been a temptation, as I'm a woman, to make the action, well, nice. Not this time'
Tough day at the office: Apart from hanging off buildings, Jolie had to jump from one moving truck to another
'At first, we thought the whole idea of sleepers was a bit of a fantasy', says Jolie. 'But as we found out more from the CIA spies, we discovered it was more real than we could have guessed.'
Jolie is no stranger to the action movie genre. She's played Lara Croft in two Tomb Raider movies and assassins in both Wanted and Mr & Mrs Smith (starring opposite Brad Pitt, then married to Jennifer Aniston but now Jolie's partner).
But in Salt, Jolie takes her combative streak to another level. She hangs off the side of a New York building, falls out of a helicopter 60ft above the ground and leaps off one speeding truck on to another.
Back to glamour: The blood, sweat and scars were swapped for red-carpet chic at the London premiere of Salt
Jolie performed most of the stunts herself. She says: 'In some movies I've made, there's been a temptation, as I'm a woman, to make the action, well, nice. Not this time.'
After one physical scene, she feared she had gone deaf - 'although it turned out I'd forgotten I still had my protective ear-plugs in'.
And, after all the big stunts, she came a cropper tackling one of the easier calls - rolling along the floor for one of the film's final scenes, she banged into a desk, leaving her with a scar above her nose.
Jolie says raising six children with Pitt - three biological and three adopted - makes her more inclined to put herself on the line.
'Maybe it's because I spend so much time at home with the kids that I really like to get out and jump on something and not be an ordinary mum for a bit. I liked the character because in the story she has had a damaged life and is a little off. Well, I'm a little off, too.'
But Jolie didn't have things all her own way on Salt. 'Angie had the fantasy that she could jump on a motorcycle pillion and then we would find out that Brad Pitt was the motorcycle rider leading her to safety,' Noyce says.
But her dream of him making a cameo appearance was dashed when Pitt happened to be looking after their children on the day that the scene was filmed.
It's the second time that Pitt has missed out on being in one of Noyce's films. The director reveals that he turned down Pitt to star alongside Sharon Stone in the 1993 flop Sliver in favour of Billy Baldwin.
It's Noyce's first blockbuster in a decade following time out making smaller movies. And in the interim he says that Bourne and Daniel Craig's Bond films have sent the action movie genre into a spin.
'Those are two benchmarks that changed everything,' he says. 'You now have to invest your story with emotion and deliver sequences that throw the audience into the middle of the action.'
As for who would triumph in a battle between Bourne and Evelyn Salt, Noyce has no doubts. 'Salt would win because she's a woman,' he says. She can get away with stuff that men can't.'
Released via Apple, the trailer sheds a bit about Leonardo DiCaprio's mission in the sci-fi thriller which synopsis is kept hidden.
