Two More for Nolan’s Inception

Christopher Nolan’s sci-fi movie set within the architecture of the mind has gotten two more castmembers — Ken Watanabe, who played Ras Al Ghul in Nolan’s “Batman Begins”, and Tom Hardy, who some may remember as the Picard clone in “Star Trek: Nemesis”. According to THR, Watanabe will be playing the film’s villain, a man who is blackmailing star Leonardo DiCaprio’s CEO-type character. Hardy, meanwhile, will be a member of DiCaprio’s team.

The two will join a cast that currently includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard. Word also has Michael Caine, another member of Nolan’s “Batman” crew, already in the cast, though the THR article fails to confirm it.

French actress Marion Cotillard (below) will play Leo’s wife in the movie.
