The Story:Insomnia is the remake of the equally-named 1997 norwegian thriller: Veteran police officer Will Dormer (played by Al Pacino) is sent from the city to a small Alaska town to investigate the murder of a teenage girl. While chasing a suspect (Robin Williams) through the fog, Dormer accidently kills his partner. Instead of admitting his guilt, Dormer is given an unexpected alibi. But despite this he is looked after by the local idealistic detective Ellie Bur (Hilary Swank) while he himself has to find the murderer (Robin Williams). But the murderer knows of Dormer's guilt and starts to blackmail him and forces the detective into a cat-and-mouse game. News: 
DVD: The Insomnia DVD will be released on October, 15th in a version containing the original aspect ratio and one with a cropped fullscreen image. Pre-order Insomnia at Amazon.com DVD Special Features: * Commentary with director Chris Nolan * Commentary by Hilary Swank and filmmakers * "180 degrees: Christopher Nolan Interviews Al Pacino," an on-camera interview * "Day for Night" - the making of Insomnia * "In the Fog," an exploration of cinematography with director of photography Wally Pfsiter * "Eyes Wide Open," a featurette on insomnia the sleeping disorder * "From the Evidence Room," a gallery of theatrical posters, stills and production designs * Theatrical trailer * Additional/extended scene with optional commentary by Chris Nolan What I'm looking forward to the most (besides maybe the commentary) is Nolan's interview with Pacino and the documentary with Pfister. I just hope that the featurettes give real insight into making the movie and aren't the usual promo-material. Interviews: Interviews with Pacino, Williams, Swank & Jackson Hollywood.com has a video interview which consists of various clips from the movie and some short statements by the actors that unfortunately only have promotional value (mostly saying how great the other actors are...) The video is available as Real or Windows Media Video on Hollywood.com or as a direct Quicktime download in both high- and low-quality versions. Q&A with Chris Nolan about Insomnia Electric Artists The full Q&A is available in the Interviews Section. 
Interview with Christopher Nolan by Garth Franklin of Dark Horizon About the pressure of following up Memento, the making of Insomnia it's narrative structure, about Insomnia being a remake, it's casting and it's ending (no spoiler) and Nolan's next project. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/nolan.html Reviews: For Insomnia reviews from around the globe click here The Soundtrack: 
Release Date: May 14, 2002Composer: David Julyan Pre-order the Soundtrack at Amazon.com From Varèse Sarabande, the Label that releases the Insomnia OST and describes the music as dark, foreboding and menacing, comes the official tracklisting: 1. Opening Titles / Blood Drips (2:47) 2. The Glacier (3:02) 3. Kay's Theme (3:41) 4. Kay's Bag (2:15) 5. Fog (5:12) 6. Will Hides The Gun (2:11) 7. Call To Hap's Widow (3:43) 8. Crimescene (2:23) 9.

Closing Titles (4:05) Until now there was very few information on the soundtrack other that the composer is once again Nolan's friend David Julyan. I expect this to be a complete score, and not a mix with some unrelated music like Memento's Soundtrack was. The only chance to hear some of the music is the trailer or the official website. The following short tracks should give you a feel of what the soundtrack will be like. Unfortunately they are of low quality. They are also partly mixed with dialogue, which they probably won't on the soundtrack. I'll also have to add that I don't know if these tracks will all be on the purchasable Soundtrack CD. I have removed these samples since the Soundtrack is available now. Photos:  Photos from the set Movie Stills & Posters, CD covers, etc. Cast & Crew: Steven Soderbergh, acclaimed director himself and producer of Insomnia is apparently the one, who proposed that Christopher Nolan should direct Insomnia. In February various sources said, that Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank will star in Insomnia. So it seems that Williams tries to get cast for some 'darker' roles in the moment, like for One Hour Photo, too. Al Pacino..............Will Dormer Robin Williams.......Walter Finch Hilary Swank..........Ellie Burr Maura Tierney........Rachel Jonathan Jackson...Randy Stetz Martin Donovan.......Hap Eckhart Larry Holden...........Farrell Frank C. Turner.......Principal It's nice to see that Nolan was able to take some people from his previous films along to Insomnia, like David Julyan who had made the score for Memento and Following and also Oscar-nominated editor Dody Dorn & Director of Photography Wally Pfister, who both worked on Memento.
