Star Leo DiCaprio tells that even he needed time to figure out the many layers of the story.

“I needed to know implicitly where we were," he says. "It got incredibly confusing at certain points in the beginning, but the more we talked, the more I understood.”

DiCaprio, who played the lead role of Dominic Cobb, spent weeks combing through the script with Nolan.

"The work (DiCaprio) did on his character with Chris made the movie less of a puzzle and more of a story of a character audiences could relate to," says Nolan's wife and producing partner, Emma Thomas.

Other technical people on the film had their own puzzles to figure out when they had the first view of the top-secret script. Each were locked in a room on the Warners lot where the script was sealed for their first view.

Visual effects supervisor Paul Franklin recalls the note in the script which called for the entire city of Paris collapsing and folding up.
