Hollywood Reporter is saying Cillian Murphy (Sunshine, The Dark Knight), Ellen Page (Juno, Smart People), and Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, Public Enemies) are joining Leonardo DiCaprio (Body of Lies, Revolutionary Road) in The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan‘s 2010 summer sci-fi thriller, Inception.
DiCaprio’s character is mentioned as a CEO-type, while Cotillard would play his wife. Page is a young college grad student and DiCaprio’s sidekick. James Franco was also in talks to join the project but had to bow out due to a scheduling conflict with Your Highness. Nolan has kept the script strictly under wraps, only describing the film as a contemporary sci-fi action set within “the architecture of the mind”.
Inception is set for July 16th, 2010.
