Murphy, Cotillard and Page join ‘Inception’

Highly-acclaimed director of the new Batman saga, Christopher Nolan, is well on his way to making his next film, but it’s not another Batman… yet. Instead, this one will be a smaller scale science-fiction movie called ‘Inception’ from a script of his own writing.

Nolan has already secured Leonardo DiCaprio in the starring role of his movie and is now negotiating possible deals with the remaining cast. The studio is currently in talks with Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page to round out the cast.

The subject matter has been kept under tight wraps, with the studio describing the film as a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind. — Variety

Details of the script have been kept well protected. Nolan will also produce the film for Warner Brothers, along side Emma Thomas. Production is set to begin Summer 2009 for a 2010 release.
