Inception was a shaky plot wrapped in enough accidental complexity to make studio execs -- and audiences -- think they were watching something profound. I get a sense of Christopher Nolan as a filmmaker who desperately wants to be taken seriously, which is just the opposite of who we need for Snow Crash. Given his admittedly short body of work (Attack the Block, The Adventures of Tintin), Joe Cornish seems a great choice for handling the action and outragous weird stuff in Snow Crash.
