Still in the dark

No one's quite sure what the techno-thriller "Inception" is about, even the people who are in it. Says Leonardo DiCaprio, "It's sprung from the great filmmaker Christopher Nolan's mind, and he's been able to take highly complex jigsaw puzzles in a narrative and put them together like we've never seen. This is a plot structure that's working on multiple layers simultaneously, quite literally. So everyone's going to be in for a treat when they see it. Including me."

The final reel

Ed Helms and Jason Segel are mismatched brothers in "Jeff Who Lives at Home." ... Clint Eastwood will direct a Ron Howard-produced film about J. Edgar Hoover, written by Dustin Lance Black ("Milk"). ... John Krasinski is in talks to star alongside Ginnifer Goodwin in the stolen-fiancé story "Something Borrowed." ... Paul Bettany has joined Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in the romantic thriller "The Tourist." ... Martin Scorsese is moving into family fare with "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," based on a Caldecott Medal-winning historical novel about a boy who lives in a Paris train station. Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Kingsley have signed on.
