American director John Landis believes that Christopher Nolan's Inception which was widely loved by critics is not an original idea and bears resemblance to 1984 science fiction Dreamscape.
The Burke and Hare filmmaker claimed that though Nolan continued to make 'stylish' movies but feels that the Oscar-winning director is facing dearth of new creative ideas, Contactmusic reported.
"Interestingly enough Inception, which is wonderful, is not original. There have been a lot of movies like it; remember Dreamscape? Oh that's bad special effects but almost the same movie. It's Dennis Quaid and Edward Albert is the President of the United States and they insert him into his dreams."
"Don't misunderstand me I think Christopher Nolan is a wonderful director its just I don't think he is yet to make a movie other than Memento that I thought was really original, its just very stylish," Landis said.
However, John believes that Nolan is quite "lucky" and "smart" to be able to do what he wants.
"He's a lucky guy, I'm glad for him; I love the fact that he can continue to make his movies. Whether he makes a couple of unsuccessful ones in a row, he'll be in the same situation as everybody else. More power to him I like smart filmmakers and I think he's great," he added.
