Ellen Page, Murphy, Cotillard Line Up for Nolan’s Next

From: NewsinFilm.com

Juno actress Ellen Page, Batman Begins villain Cillian Murphy, and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard are in talks to join Christopher Nolan’s next film, Inception.

The three talents would join Leonardo DiCaprio in the science fiction thriller described as being set “within the architecture of the mind.” DiCaprio is said to be a CEO-type, according to the Hollywood Reporter, and Cotillard would play his wife in the film. Page, rumored as a member of the cast since last month, would play a college grad student and DiCaprio’s sidekick.

No word on Murphy’s role, who reteams with the director after playing the Scarecrow in the first of the current Batman trilogy. Nolan has said he plans to make this film while hashing out the details for a third Batman movie.

James Franco was also in discussions to join the Inception cast, but had to opt out of the project because of scheduling conflicts with the comedy Your Highness.

Nolan is shooting the film this summer for a release on July 16, 2010.
