Leonardo di Caprio joins Christopher Nolan’s Inception

Between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, director Christopher Nolan turned out the terrific The Prestige. And we can only hope that's what's happening again. While the world and his wife waits for news of a further Nolan-helmed Batman movie, the man himself has been hard at work on his next project, the science fiction movie Inception.

Due for release in 2010, Inception is an action movie apparently, but little is known about the plot at this stage. What is known though is that Nolan has picked his lead actor, and for a change, it's not Christian Bale! Leonardo di Caprio will take the lead in the picture, which presumably will be going before the cameras at some point this year.

A summer 2010 release date is mooted, and we'll bring you more news as we get it.
