When Alex Eylar spotted a production still of Inception's tilted hallway scene a few months ago, he started picturing a Lego makeover. Then he watched the movie.
"I saw Inception twice in the second week of its release and built the hallway that same week," says Eylar, also known by his Flickr user name, Profound Whatever.
Eylar, an Oakland, California, college student who amassed an enormous Lego collection during childhood, became further inspired to take on Christopher Nolan's cerebral sci-fi film after spotting Iain Heath's rendition of the same Inception scene on his Ochre Jelly Flickr page.

Tilted Hallway
"The tilted hallway was built in about three hours but only because the walls took for-freaking-ever," Eylar tells Wired.com in an e-mail. "Those walls use a technique the Lego community calls SNOT: "Studs not on top." It basically means you're building sideways, and those walls are just a mess of tiny pieces barely held together and propped up on its side. Thankfully, the whole thing held together well enough to be turned upside-down, which is how I got the shot."Images courtesy Alex Eylar and Iain Heath.
