Inception 2 - Secret of the Ooze

Ever since the huge hit that was Inception came out, there has been talk of a sequel. If you've seen the movie, you know that story-wise, it doesn't make sense, but we all know Hollywood's love of money, and considering the movie is up to $810 million so far, before it even hits store shelves, the movie is a huge financial success. So, will a sequel be made? The answer is yes, apparently, if Warner Bros has anything to say about it.

There are several reports that Warner Bros wants to make a sequel, but it is highly unlikely director Christopher Nolan would return, given he has expressed several times that the project is done. So, given Warners wants more money, and Nolan doesn't want anything to do with it, will the studio get a new director? I would say most likely not, since Nolan is pretty much heading all their biggest projects, including directing the third Batman flick, and overseeing the Superman flick. I doubt they wouldn't want to piss of the man in charge of the company's future.

However, if there were to be a sequel, what would you do? Suffice to say POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!

The most obvious route to me would be to follow another member of Cobb's team after the job depicted in the first movie. It would be an easy move because Tom Hardy, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon Levitt's characters were so interesting, and not touched on too much, that seeing that story line unfold could be quite a lot of fun. Gordon-Levitt's character was described several times in the film as the best in the business, so it would be interesting to see why. It would be a smart move because you would never have to mention Leonardo DiCaprio's Cobb, which would leave the impact of the ending intact, and audiences looking for any tidbit or clue as to the outcome.

So, that's my idea for a sequel that should never happen, and hopefully won't, but that's not to say there isn't talk of one.
