@moviesheavenupdates: Will Smith had a chance to enter Christopher Nolan’s dream world before Leonardo DiCaprio became the face of “Inception.” Smith said Nolan brought him the film first, but the pitch lost him. He couldn’t make sense of it and admitted years later that he had never discussed the offer publicly. He had made a similar choice with “The Matrix,” taking “Wild Wild West” instead. Smith said alternate realities are hard to sell in a meeting, and both misses still hurt. DiCaprio became Dom Cobb. He and Nolan then spent two months talking almost daily, sometimes all day, to build the character’s emotional journey. “Inception” made about $839M and won four Oscars. Yet DiCaprio later joked, “What happened? I have no idea,” saying he had focused on Cobb while others solved the puzzle. Which missed role hurt Smith more - Neo or Cobb? 👀 #WillSmith #LeonardoDiCaprio #movies
