Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been added to the cast of Christopher Nolan's mysterious project "Inception," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gordon-Levitt steps into the role that was once linked to James Franco who reportedly turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with David Gordon Green's Danny McBride-led stoner comedy, "Your Highness."
While information regarding the film's story is few and far between, the Nolan-scribed film has been described as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind." (A thesaurus-friendly way of calling it sci-fi psychological thriller?) Previously announced cast members include Leonardo DiCaprio, who is set play a CEO-type protagonist; Marion Collitard, who plays his wife; Ellen Page, who will play a young graduate sidekick of DiCaprio; and Cillian Murphy, whose role is as yet unknown. Gordon-Levitt, meanwhile, will play an associate of DiCaprio's CEO character with his inclusion capping off a cast full of blossoming talent.
Man, we must read this script. Anyone got it? "Inception" is set to start shooting in the summer with a July 16th release set for 2010. Gordon-Levitt will next be seen in this summer's "500 Days Of Summer" and "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra."

Awesome cast. I'm really glad to see Joseph Gordon Levitt do something like this--I just hope he stops dicking around with stuff like GI Joe.
you know, i remember when the dark knight came out, people were saying that gordon-levitt should play the joker in the third batman film; since, from certain angles, he resembles ledger and potentially has the acting chops to pull it off. interesting . . .
Definitely agreed. Gordon-Levitt has the makings of a great actor. And associating himself with quality projects like this is what will get him there.
He does somewhat resemble Ledger which was anything but back in "10 Things I Hate About You." Funny how that movie could be looked back on as the birth of two great actors.
