Warner Bros have handed a fifth of the gross takings from the highly successful film The Dark Knight $200 million, over to British director Christopher Nolan so that he can begin filming the science fiction epic “Inception” which will use locations in five different countries.

According to Warner Bros the film will have a full quota of stars including Leonardo DiCaprio plays the lead, Marion Cotillard his wife, Ellen Page sidekick to DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an associate working for DiCaprio, Tom Hardy is another member of the team and Ken Watanabe is the villain.

Interestingly the some talent from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are included too with actors Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine taking on small parts.

As far as the films storyline goes, this has been kept under wraps, there are some lavish locations set up with thousands of workers involved in the construction of the sets, but as of yet the storyline remains under wraps.
