Today, July 16, 2020, is the ten year anniversary of Christopher Nolan's iconic film, Inception. Inception is one of Christopher Nolan's most mind-bending movies and fans still debate about its confusing ending even ten years later.

This top would keep spinning forever in the dreamscapes, and fans are still unsure if Cobb ever got out of the dreamscape due to the film's ambiguous ending. Below are some interesting facts about Christopher Nolan's Inception that were shared by the cast and crew over the past then years.

Inception literally took almost a decade to make, as Christopher Nolan wrote the script for the film back in 2001 after shooting Insomnia. According to an old report by an entertainment portal, the lead role of Cobb was first offered to Brad Pitt and then to Will Smith. However, neither actors accepted the role within the 48-hour window set by Christopher Nolan, which is why the role finally went to actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
