Cast Join Nolan's Inception

Christopher Nolan's follow-up to The Dark Knight is a still-under-wraps sci-fi action film called Inception - but who needs plot details when you've got one of the best directors in Hollywood involved? And he's lining up a rather spiffy cast to fill out his line-up: Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy and Ellen Page are all in talks to star.

The film is described as a "contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind", which sounds right up Nolan's alley: sort of The Prestige meets Memento meets Batman** Begins** only different, eh?

There's no telling yet what roles the three stars will play, but as hot young things go Nolan couldn't do much better. Cotillard's coming off the back of last year's Oscar win and recently working with Michael Mann and Johnny Depp on Public Enemies, while Murphy and Page just worked together on Peacock.

The film goes into production for release next year, so keep eyes peeled for more as we get it.
