I'm going to give this it's own thread since Landis is a pretty big deal.
It’s interesting that Inception is original and done so well and you can just imagine the studios saying “that’s so original, lets copy that!”
Well interestingly enough Inception, which is wonderful, is not original. There have been a lot of movies like it; remember Dreamscape? Oh that’s bad special effects but almost the same movie. It’s Dennis Quaid and Edward Albert is the president of the United States and they insert him into his dreams. Ya know, I think, don’t misunderstand me I think Christopher Nolan is a wonderful director its just I don’t think he is yet to make a movie other than Memento that I thought was really original, its just very stylish.
I think its just seeing something that’s not based on anything else in the box office has now become a novelty.
Well yeah and he’s coming off giant hits plus he has Leonardo DiCaprio so he had some protection to do what he wants. He’s a lucky guy, I’m glad for him; I love the fact that he can continue to make his movies. Whether he makes a couple of unsuccessful ones in a row, he’ll be in the same situation as everybody else (laughs). More power to him I like smart filmmakers and I think he’s great.
