Empire Magazine, who picked up the news about Inception‘s IMAX release, spoke to Marion Cotillard in order to get more information about ‘Inception‘ this week. Of course the film is still as much of a secret as before but at least we know more about Marion’s filming schedule:

“I’ve only had one day [filming] in Paris. I’m doing a movie right now with Guillaume Canet, and when I’ve finished that I’m going to go to LA for the shoot. Can I tell you anything about Lisa? Um… noooo!”

While she’s busy filming ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ in Cap Ferret both the ‘Beds are burning‘ Launch and the Dior Fashion Show in Paris had to do without her presence.

It has been announced today, that ‘Inception‘ – directed by Chris Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine – will be released in IMAX theatres as well as in traditional theatres on July 16, 2010:

“Chris Nolan and IMAX have proven to be ideally suited to each other, and we’re very excited to bring them back together again for Inception,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Picture’s president of domestic distribution. “With the rapidly growing IMAX network, our IMAX audience base for this release will be significantly larger than it was for The Dark Knight, which will add to the film’s event status.”

Finally, it is here! The full-length song “Beds are Burning” with accompanying music video was unveiled at 3pm local time in Paris, France. Kofi Annan was joined by Mélanie Laurent, a good friend of Marion. She herself seems to have been absent from the event, so here a quote from Mélanie:

I’m supporting Kofi Annan’s initiative and hope this song will be heard by as many people as possible in the world before Copenhagen. This campaign will help secure a better future for our planet and upcoming generations. The time has come.

Be sure to visit Time for Climate Justice org to watch the full music video (also in HD) and to download the song. Remember, by downloading the song you’re signing the petition that will be handed to the world’s political leaders on December 7, 2009 in Copenhagen. The song is also available on iTunes.

Marion Cotillard’s voice can clearly be heard at around 1:31. There’s not much more footage of her in the video than we’ve already seen in the trailer, but the quality of these final captures are much better. Enjoy!
