The story was originally written as a heist film, inspired by concepts of lucid dreaming and dream incubation. Feeling he needed to have more experience with large-scale films, Nolan opted to work on Batman Begins, The Prestige and The Dark Knight. He spent six months polishing up the script for Inception before Warner Bros. purchased it in February 2009.

Filming spanned six countries and four continents, beginning in Tokyo on June 19, 2009 and finishing in Canada in late November of the same year. Composer Hans Zimmer scored the film, using parts of Edith Piaf’s song “Non, je ne regrette rien“.

Inception was officially budgeted at $160 million, a cost which was split between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. Nolan’s reputation and success with The Dark Knight helped secure the film $100 million in advertising expenditure. Inception premiered in London on July 8, 2010 and was released in both conventional and IMAX theatres on July 14, 2010.

Released to overwhelming critical acclaim, the film grossed over $21 million on its opening day, with an opening weekend gross of $62.7 million to score Nolan his second highest grossing film to date following The Dark Knight.
