Talulah Riley’s role in Chris Nolan’s subconscious-mind-control thriller Inception may have been small, but the blonde 24-year-old Brit has been extracting nighttime emissions from my Level 3 wet dreams since I caught the flick.  Needless-to-say, I’m thrilled to learn that Riley has signed on to star in Gold Film’s 3-D alien invasion frightener Transmission.

Described as Pitch Black meets 28 Days Later, Transmission follows an extraterrestrial invasion of earth set during a solar eclipse. Willem Dafoe (Antichrist) is reportedly in talks to star opposite Riley. Bob Hoskins (Doomsday)and Jason Flemying (Clash of the Titans) are already onboard.

Director Roger Christian, best known for the critically-panned, commercial flop Battlefield Earth (John Travolta’s love letter to L. Ron Hubbard), is in negotiations to helm the project.
