Caine confirmed for Nolan's 'Inception'

Michael Caine has confirmed that he will make a cameo in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi action project Inception.

The 76-year-old star, who has previously worked with Nolan on the Batman franchise and The Prestige, announced his "small role" in an interview last week.

"I have a little part in it, yes. Just a tiny part," he told InContention. "Chris and I are very good friends so I'll do that little part. I think I'll work about three days.

"It'll be extraordinary, wait until you see this one. I think if I say another word he's going to kill me!"

Inception is scheduled for release in July 2010. Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are among the cast.

It is Nolan's first directorial outing since last summer's The Dark Knight.
