Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy are boarding Christopher Nolan's "Inception" for Warner Bros.
The story, which Nolan wrote, is a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind, with Leonardo DiCaprio as a CEO type. Watanabe will play the film's villain, a man who is blackmailing DiCaprio. Hardy is a member of DiCaprio's team.
The duo join a cast that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard.
Watanabe's deal reunites him with Nolan, with whom he collaborated on 2005's "Batman Begins."
Nolan and the studio are aiming for a summer shoot ahead of a 2010 release. Nolan and Emma Thomas are producing through their Warners-based Syncopy Films shingle.
Watanabe next appears in the Weinstein Co.'s September release "Shanghai" with John Cusack, Chow Yun-Fat and Gong Li. He is repped by Endeavor and ROAR.
Hardy, who is in negotiations for his role, next appears in "Bronson," playing a criminal who spent 30 years in solitary confinement. He is repped by CAA.

Heiligs Blechle. Der Cast wird ja immer interessanter und es dürfte wohl auch nicht zu verneinen sein, dass man hier wohl auch auf die Academy Awards schielt. Wird Zeit, dass etwas mehr zur Story durchsickert.
