Leonardo Joins Nolan's Inception

One of my favorite types of movies are the ones where really good directors hire really good actors to star in them. That is one of the reasons I am excited for Christopher Nolan's next project, Inception.

Leonardo DiCaprio will star in "Inception," the science-fiction film that Christopher Nolan ("The Dark Knight") wrote and will direct as his next pic at Warner Bros.

The project shoots this year and is slated to be released in summer 2010, with Nolan and Emma Thomas producing. DiCaprio's deal is in final negotiations.

Script has been kept under wraps but the studio calls it a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.

People are making a big deal about how not much is known yet about the story but to me "sci fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind" is pretty explanatory. I'm thinking of some weird cross between The Thirteenth Floor and The Matrix. I'll keep you updated on this one for sure.

** Nicholas Cage is not attached to this project in any way but how amazing is that picture
