At the beginning of July, we launched the
Nolan Fans Inception Sweepstakes and aimed to give away $700 worth of Inception gear. Our shipments have arrived and we’re ready to send our those prizes! A few days ago, we selected our winners from the sweepstakes entry database using a random number generator and sent out emails asking people to confirm their addresses. Many of our winners replied immediately. Great stuff. Good news for everyone who didn’t win: a handful of our winners haven’t responded to yet, so we may have to select some new winners for these prizes.
Listed below are the confirmed and unconfirmed winners. Remember to check your spam folders. If you don’t reply to our email by mid-day on Saturday, July 31th, there’s a good chance that you’ll miss out on your prize; we’ll be drawing some new winners then.

Inception racked up an impressive $42.7 million this weekend, dropping just 32% from its $62.3 million opening according to Box Office Mojo. That strong hold (the smallest second weekend drop so far this year) was enough to top Angelina Jolie’s Salt, a close #2 with a solid $36 million weekend. Inception‘s domestic total now stands at $142.8 million, just shy of the reported $160 million production cost. The film should pass $200 million next week, and Dan Fellman, head of distribution at Warner Bros, thinks Inception “has a good shot at topping $300 million.”
Foreign tallies for Inception have reached an estimated $84 million, bringing the worldwide gross to $226.9 million after 10 days.

Box Office Mojo is reporting that Thursday’s estimate in the box office was enough to push Christopher Nolan‘s latest film, Inception, beyond the $100 million mark. It certainly is an astonishing feat to break the $100 million barrier in seven days for a film that is neither a sequeal nor a remake.
Christopher Nolan’s seventh feature film raked in $62,785,337 at the box office during its opening weekend and will begin opening wide releases in more countries soon. Yesterday, Inception entered theaters all across Europe and today marks the opening for Mexico and Japan.
At the time of writing, Inception still remains the #1 movie in America for its seventh consecutive day.
Batman 3 News Rumors
Posted on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 1:03 am by TeddyBlass
FirstShowing.net is reporting they have a “reliable inside source” with a studio casting grid that has The Riddler listed as the villian for Batman 3. With this year’s San Diego Comic Con starting up this week, many have been suspecting some sort of announcement regarding the much anticipated follow-up to 2008′s The Dark Knight. Rumors surrounding this project have been absolutely bonkers in the past, but FirstShowing is saying “this news should be considered confirmation that The Riddler is the villain” in Batman 3. They’re also saying that the actor currently listed on that same casting grid is none other than Inception‘s Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He is listed as “interested” next to The Riddler, despite the age listed for the mysterious villian being 35-45. Joe is only 29 by the way. So how accurate could this all be? They want to keep the JGL part listed a rumor, but The Riddler part as confirmed.

Ask any good filmmaker what the most important aspects of film are, and among the top answers you get, sound will undoubtedly be one of them. It’s vitally important to modern cinema, and it is one of the key factors in selling the audience on the world of the film they’re viewing. Luckily for director Christopher Nolan, Academy Award winning sound designer Richard King was part of his team working on Inception. The two had a successful last collaboration with The Dark Knight, in which King won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing. King also won the same award in the past for his work on Master and Commander, and has won and been nominated for various other awards for his work on films like Signs, War of the Worlds, and Nolan’s own The Prestige.
The acclaimed sound-man and his team of mixers (Lora Hirschberg and Gary Rizzo) can been seen in a new featurette about Creating the Sounds of Dreams for Inception. In the video they explain the fascinating process of creating, editing, and mixing sounds for complex and rich world of the film. Check it out:
