Warner Bros announced that they are in talks with Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, and Ellen Page to join the cast of director Christopher Nolan‘s next film Inception. It was announced last month that Leonardo DiCaprio has already been set to star.
Although details on the plot of Inception have been kept under wraps, some info is becoming available. DiCaprio’s character is supposedly a CEO-type. Cotillard will be playing his wife, and Ellen Page’s character is said to be DiCaprio’s sidekick who happens to be young college graduate student.

I know one thing this film has a nice cast so far. But I'm on the fence with the casting of Page DiCaprio's sidekick. What's that all about.? I hope news about the plot will surface soon . to DHOPW42 CEO (Chief. Executive. Owner)

DHOPW42, CEO = Chief Executive Officer. "the highest-ranking corporate officer (executive) or administrator in charge of total management." -Wikipedia It's interesting that we're gaining little bits of information from the plot through the actors and their roles in the story. So far, it looks like the setting will be in the present day, in an urban environment, possibly some big city. DiCaprio runs a company, Cotillard is the wife, and Page is DiCaprio's "sidekick"…whatever that means…maybe business partner or something. Nothing is really said about Cillian Murphy's role. Perhaps he'll play the antagonist again, like in Batman Begins.

I'd really, REALLY like if Cillian Murphy would be the antagonist of the film. I loved him as Scarecrow.
