Not that anyone doubts it at this point (or at least shouldn’t), but we were one of the first sites (if not the first), to call out Lukas Haas’ participation, via the original trailer, in Christopher Nolan’s “Inception” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and an all-star supporting cast (Haas is also a longtime pal of DiCaprio’s who hung out with him in their early bratpack days after he became huge with “Titanic”).
But this is clearly Haas standing next to DiCaprio in a set photo via Nolan Fans. So yeah, in case you had any doubts.
What else? Cillian Murphy just recently said, “[Nolan] showed me the whole script. It’s very very complex and amazing. I’m hugely excited for next year when it comes out,” which sort of indicates that not all of the cast has been able to read the entire screenplay? Nolan is very secretive about this one. “It’s conceptual. It doesn’t fit into any genre,” Murphy added. “There are elements of different types of things in it but it is all from Chris’ imagination. I’ve never read anything close to it before.”
Nolan Fans also have new shots of Ellen Page, all buttoned up in a suit whereas all previous photos of the actress have shown her dressed down. She’s supposed to play DiCaprio’s assistant in the film and he’s supposed to be some sort of CEO type, so presumably this means she goes on some sort of wild adventure with him and they’re finally getting around to shooting the earlier scenes where she has to look all professional and done up. Stands to reason, no? The Daily Mail also has some shots of DiCaprio sitting on a ledge yelling at his wife in the film Marion Cotillard (is that right? it’s been a while since we followed the particulars). The DailyMail also says the plot centers on a businessman embroiled in a blackmail scandal which jives with the alleged script details that were revealed months back (think that’s when it reached a noisy, fever pitch and we just tuned out, or we only skimmed it cause we didn’t actually want to spoil it all for ourselves; and actually now that we’ve re-skimmed it, this scene with DiCaprio on the ledge might be part of a key spoiler in the film).
“Inception” is still scheduled to hit theaters July 16, 2010. Btw, is this a photo of Page all pissed off and DiCaprio and Nolan having a laugh at her expense? Pretty amusing.
