“I’m being plummeted through a floor at the moment,” Tom Hardy told MTV during a break in shooting. But even when the cameras are off, Hardy has been seen boxing with Leonardo DiCaprio on set. And while the teaser for Inception showed some gravity-defying brawling, the interactions between Hardy and DiCaprio appear to be just for fun. “He’s a big MMA fan, so we’ve been kicking each other. Kicking and elbowing each other,” Hardy said. “He keeps bruising me. He gives me as good as he gets.”
Although most set photos seem to find just Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page in various locations around the world, Tom Hardy assured MTV that Inception is “an ensemble piece” when asked how much screen-time he shared with DiCaprio. “But a lot of the onus of the movie falls on Leo’s face,” Hardy continued. “He’s the superstar in the film.” Given the promising cast, word that the film will have an ensemble feel is very exciting. The Dark Knight was basically Christopher Nolan’s first attempt at an ensemble film. Although done at the cost of Batman/Bruce Wayne’s prominence in the film, the ensemble approach created a deeper feel for Gotham and the supporting characters.

Not to be that guy, but I don’t care if it’s got a dozen leads or one actor. It’s Chris, it’s gonna be good.

Agreed about the ensemble feel of TDK. I felt it made Gotham into a more fully-realized place. Glad to hear that Chris is applying a similar approach to INCEPTION.

Saurabh: it would be good to know:-( Some say it will be released with Avatar, some say it will be Sherlock Holmes, or The Book of Eli, some even say that it won’t be shown until march or april… I think we can hope for a winter release.

We’ve kind of confirmed that the next new trailer won’t be with Avatar. Check out this forum post: http://www.nolanfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=490&start=70#p4558

“Btw, any word on what kind of score Hans Zimmer is composing?”
Preferably one involving music.
