What is Page 2? Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn't make the front page of /Film. After the jump we've included 22 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It's like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness. If you have any interesting items that we might've missed that you think should go in /Film's Page 2 – email us!

After explaining Memento to festivalgoers at the Venice Film Festival, Christopher Nolan's brother (and story writer) Jonathan Nolan gave him a bit of advice, and this is why you'll never hear Nolan explain the truth of Inception's ending: "He said, you made a film where it's ambiguous at the end specifically because you're in the head of a guy who doesn't know the truth. So if you tell people as the creator what the truth is, you're violating the terms of the story. And we'll make much more money if you don't tell them." [movieline]
