Line 50:
* [[Viral Marketing]]: In the Nolan tradition, there's several campaigns up and running, including anti-Mind Crime posters marked with QR reader marks containing links to viral websites.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: James Franco was originally cast as Arthur, he had to back out because of scheduling conflicts. Nolan's first choices for Ariadne and Browning were Evan Rachel Wood and Don Johnson, respectively, but both declined.
* [[Word of God]]: It would seem that the costume designer (of all people) may have inadvertently revealed Nolan's intended ending. Here be spoilers: [https://web.archive.org/web/20110907004219/http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/08/inception_costume_designer_rev.html

He claims that, as far as he's concerned, Cobb is in the real world, but that the ''real'' meaning of the scene is that Cobb has left his totem behind and that it no longer has any meaning for him. ...Of course, [[Lotus Eater Machine|that doesn't really clarify anything]]. However, he himself does admit he's biased toward the "real world" ending since he's a father himself, and points out that interpretation of the ending may fall along those lines. And the fact that the guy who wrote and directed the movie only has an ''interpretation'' of the ending just serves to underscore that there's no definitive answer to the question of whether the top was going to stop spinning or not.

** [[Word of God|Nolan says]], it's ''[[James Bond]]'' meets ''[[Dark City]]''.
** ''[[Ocean's Eleven|Ocean's 11]]'' / ''[[Catch Me If You Can]]'' meets ''[[Dark City]]''.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100720143529/http://www.collegehumor.com/article:1807354 According to CollegeHumor]: The integral of (''[[The Departed]]'' + ''[[The Matrix]]'')^2 x (''[[Minority Report]]'' + ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]'' + ''[[Shutter Island]]'' + ''[[The Dark Knight]]'') + ''[[Juno]]'' = ''Inception''<ref>Though that was likely CollegeHumor's intent, the writen equation states that Inception is equal to the integral of an unspecified function with respect to an unspecified variable, which also happens to be equal to (''[[The Departed]]'' + ''[[The Matrix]]'')^2 x (''[[Minority Report]]'' + ''[[Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind]]'' + ''[[Shutter Island]]'' + ''[[The Dark Knight]]'') + ''[[Juno]]''. [[E=MC Hammer]] aside, the point stands that Inception is really damn complicated.</ref>
** ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' meets ''[[Psychonauts]]''.
** The role of an Architect is like playing a mix of ''[[Psychonauts]]'' and ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]''.
